Jupiter (JUP) Proposes Zero-Emission Strategy Amid Market Pressure
Jupiter, the decentralized exchange aggregator operating within the Solana ecosystem, is considering a major tokenomic shift aimed at achieving what it describes as "zero net JUP emissions," under a newly introduced proposal that would temporarily eliminate net new JUP token releases and delay its anticipated Jupuary airdrop. In parallel, the project's decentralized autonomous organization would offset any token sales with open-market buybacks in an effort to neutralize supply impact.

Jupiter Lend Launches After Beta Phase
Jupiter's money market, Jupiter Lend, officially launched after a six-month beta, accumulating 83,000 users, completing 7 audits, and reporting zero bad debt. This represents a significant expansion of Jupiter's ecosystem beyond its core DEX aggregation services.
Strategic Funding and Ecosystem Expansion
Jupiter secured a $35 million strategic investment from venture firm ParaFi Capital in early February 2026, settled in its native JupUSD stablecoin, marking Jupiter's first major external capital raise with funds earmarked for protocol development, security enhancements, and broader ecosystem growth.
Polymarket Integration and Product Development
Jupiter integrated with prediction market platform Polymarket, launching a "Predictions" feature directly within its Solana app, expanding Jupiter's utility beyond swaps into speculative markets and targeting a new user segment.
Jupuary Airdrop Adjustments
The final "Jupuary" airdrop program concluded with a snapshot on January 30, 2026, allocating 200 million JUP to active swappers, lenders, and governance participants, with an additional 200 million JUP reserved for stakers, significantly scaled down from an initial 700 million plan to reduce post-airdrop selling pressure.
Upcoming Initiatives
JUPNET Launch is a next-phase infrastructure project aimed at enhancing the platform's capabilities and utility. Major 2026 upgrades include Mobile V3, balancing growth with dilution concerns.
