JUP holders must choose to continue Jupuary emissions or pause airdrops and return 700M tokens to treasury.
-
Proposal targets supply concerns tied to team vesting Mercurial allocations and bonus incentives.
-
If paused team emissions halt and buybacks offset stakeholder distributions under DAO oversight.
JupiterDAO announced a live governance vote that will decide the future emissions schedule for the JUP token. The proposal, published Tuesday ahead of voting at 11 a.m. UTC, asks token holders to choose between continuing Jupuary or pausing emissions. According to JupiterDAO, the vote affects all JUP holders and addresses market concerns around token supply.
Two Options Put Before JUP Token Holders
According to JupiterDAO, the proposal presents two clear paths for 2026 emissions. Option one allows Jupuary to proceed under its existing framework. If approved, the Jupuary airdrop checker will launch about one week after voting ends.
Under this option, Jupuary emissions, team vesting, and Mercurial stakeholder distributions would continue unchanged. The initial Jupuary phase would start with 200 million JUP. Bonus pools and Jupnet incentives would also follow their current schedules.
Option two proposes pausing emissions across multiple channels. Jupuary would be postponed, with 700 million JUP returned to the Community Cold Multisig. The DAO would preserve current usage and staking snapshots for future consideration.
Emissions Sources and Planned Offsets Explained
The proposal addresses three emission sources driving current discussion. These include Jupuary airdrops, team vesting, and Mercurial stakeholder allocations. JupiterDAO stated that emissions have drawn concern amid current market conditions.
If option two passes, team reserve emissions would stop indefinitely. Instead, team members would receive JUP credits backed by Jupiter’s balance sheet. Any team token sales would be absorbed directly by Jupiter.
Mercurial stakeholders would receive accelerated airdrops. Jupiter would then purchase an equivalent number of tokens on the open market. Wallet activity would be monitored, and matching buybacks would offset any sales.
Voting Timeline and Eligibility Details
The voting window opens Tuesday at 11 a.m. UTC and runs through Saturday. JupiterDAO said the schedule allows sufficient time for review and discussion. Public feedback remains open until Tuesday morning SGT.Notably, JUP stakers remain eligible for ASR rewards regardless of participation. However, JupiterDAO encouraged active voting due to the proposal’s scope. The DAO stated it will follow the outcome without modification.
