Jupiter halts governance voting to tackle burnout and refocus on innovation

Referenced by

A redesigned governance structure is set to be introduced in 2026, aiming to address past disputes and streamline decision-making before the Treasury fully reopens the following year.

However, Jupiter’s aggregator has lost momentum in recent months, with user traffic dropping by up to 60% and competitors like PumpSwap dominating the meme coin niche, now accounting for a majority of that trading volume on Solana.

The governance pause comes as Jupiter’s DEX remains a major player on Solana, with more than $2.2 billion locked on the platform and daily fees averaging $1.6 million. It handles upwards of 80,000 token swaps each day, serving over 18,000 daily active traders.
