(This article reflects my personal thoughts)
Solana was a relatively good starting point for Jupiter, but ahead lies a tough challenge as we step into deeper waters with Jupnet (AMM multi-chain).
The backbone of Jupiter is JupDAO. I believe that beyond technology as a necessary condition, the sufficient condition is likely a mutually supportive community.
Why is DAO > Technology? Just look at Dogecoin, where people have to buy tokens and gain no passive benefits at all.
Jupiter has already embedded itself in the consciousness of "Solanians" and created many meaningful milestones in the industry. The upcoming mission for JupDAO is to turn enemies into allies with the "Etherian-Maxis."
We can't force them to use Jupnet’s services, but we can help them realize the urgent issue of the future: capital flows need to move more freely.
I believe there’s an invisible wall between Solana and Ethereum. I’m not referring to traders - they constantly move across blockchains. I'm talking about ETH-maxis, who hold ETH and have no intention of engaging with other chains.
Jupiter shouldn’t just aggregate liquidity – it should also aggregate people – the true foundation of growth in any ecosystem. The bold idea of “Web4” essentially implies that the core foundation is people. Without people, the value of any token is zero.
JupDAO could scale to 5–10 million people in the future if it can dissolve the tension between Solana and Ethereum.
Somehow, if we can ease the hostility between the two sides, the TVL between these blockchains could create an invisible bridge.
Capital will start flowing. SOL memecoins could be accessed by ETH liquidity, and Solana users could explore Ethereum's NFT culture without having to leave their native chain.
"One click - one second" for everything, powered by Jupnet.
Can we aggregate the NFT- Market faster and with lower fees than Magic Eden?
That’s a question I’ve been thinking about a lot.
What if Uniswap became an ally or partner, like a “Meteora version 2”?
Wouldn’t that be far better than mutual jealousy?
This is meant to be an open, respectful cultural discussion. Let’s keep it civil.
Onchain finance needs onchain credit.
That’s why we’re launching Jupiter Offerbook: a permissionless money market for every asset on Solana.
Time-based P2P loans, without price-based liquidations.
Borrow against Tokens, RWAs, NFTs, and everything in between.
Every asset on Solana just became liquid.

Capital formation is super hard. It takes 10 years with TradFi with funds that have a 10year+ horizon.
I think it would be better to emulate this setup instead of buy backs.
I think the closest thing in crypto has been staking. That some holders that are willing to hold for a long time dilute those who don’t.
Store profits as future token claimable protocol assets. Let people lockup and stake for a year to get a token yield. So as the balance sheet grows those who stake net a bigger claim.
The stablecoin for onchain finance has arrived.
Introducing: JupUSD
A reserve-backed stablecoin pegged to the US Dollar, designed to power the next chapter of finance.
Let’s dive in 👇
Jupnet: Redefining Oracles as the Omnichain Consensus Layer
Throughout most of blockchain history, oracles have been confined to a very specific role: providing prices. They were seen as mere data pipelines, feeding information from the outside world into smart contracts. This approach was sufficient for single-chain DeFi, but it began to reveal its limitations as the ecosystem shifted toward multichain and omnichain states.
Jupnet began with a fundamental question:
“If a blockchain cannot observe the outside world on its own, what truly is an oracle ?”
Their answer was not a better price feed, but a layer of infrastructure for exogenous data. In this definition, any data not residing in a blockchain’s native state is oracle data, including the state of other chains.
From this perspective, cross-chain messaging is also an oracle. When one chain receives information from another, it is trusting an external data source. The issue is not whether the data is transmitted, but whether that data is trustworthy enough to act upon. This is the gap that Jupnet argues traditional oracle architectures have not fully addressed.
The DOVE Network of Jupnet is designed to fill this void. Nodes in the network do not merely observe data, they reach consensus on its correctness and directly execute actions on destination chains. Oracle, validator, and executor are merged into a single entity.
Technically, DOVE employs multi-validator consensus with BLS signatures to produce compact proofs for oracle data. Asynchronous finality checks ensure that the source chain’s state is truly finalized before acceptance. More importantly, the oracle is designed around the goal of execution, rather than stopping at information delivery.
This approach transforms the oracle from a supporting component into the central axis of interchain architecture. Instead of each bridge or application relying on its own separate oracle, DOVE serves as a decentralized single source of truth, verified by a staked and accountable set of nodes. Trust is no longer borrowed, it is created through consensus.
The most noteworthy aspect of DOVE lies not only in its technology, but in its design philosophy. Traditional oracles assume that correct data is sufficient, DOVE assumes that data only has meaning when it leads to correct action. This is a shift from oracles that provide information, to oracles that validate state, and ultimately to oracles capable of execution.
In the omnichain world, no single blockchain should hold a central role. Truth should not be locked within one isolated ledger. DOVE reflects a natural evolution: separating truth from individual chains and placing it in a shared consensus layer, where data, state, and action are bound together.
If Bitcoin was a leap forward in separating money from people, then DOVE hints at another: separating truth from individual blockchains. Oracles are no longer a service, nor merely data intermediaries. They become infrastructure and that infrastructure is built on consensus rather than trust.
From this perspective, future $JUP holders could evolve beyond being mere holders or governance voters to become validators within the DOVE network. As oracles are elevated into a layer that establishes cross-chain truth, participation in validating and executing state becomes an infrastructural role rather than a privilege of a closed technical group.
In this scenario, $JUP would move beyond a conventional governance token. Its utility would be tied to staking, verification responsibility, and direct participation in shaping omnichain truth. Deriving value not from abstract voting, but from accountable involvement in how chains interpret and act on external data.
first day of 2026: we kick it off with a major upgrade to @jup_mobile that sets it miles apart from every single crypto app out there - dex, cex, solana, eth, whatever
built fully native, optimized to the core to be as performant as possible, leveraging the full stack jupiter expertise, jup mobile is an example of our neverending quest to be the best we can be, even if we don't get there right away.
over the next 21 days, we will try to convince you that this is the one app that you must have.
if you are not, we would listen as hard as we can about where we fall short and try to convince you again in the next days, months and years to come.
lastly, jup mobile is really a full team effort, from the world class mobile team, to the endless data and infra needs, to the trading engine to the incredible user burst team.
incredibly proud to be working with them.
Your positions on Lend compound yield automatically without any manual claiming required.
When you deposit stables into Earn vaults, you receive jlTokens which grow in value over time similar to an LST.
It's one of the reasons why Jupiter Lend is simpler for Lenders.
i finally claimed the jupiter badge yesterday
here is a guide to how i did it (2 in 1 interaction for @JupiterExchange and moonbirb)
> took advantage of the jup mobile app
the app has easy features that allows you to interact with jupiter easily
a. ultra swap: i swapped to and from sol
b. pro: bought into some memecoins by searching their ca
it took approximately 2 days to earn this bagde and a volume of $50+
note: after earning the badge, you can mint the moonbirb x JP SBT (the second interaction)
there may be some advantages of building a crypto protocol outside of US.
it may become more obvious down the road when adoption is increasingly global.
slack is a great example of what could have been - until corporate enshittification stopped it in its tracks.
and a terrific reminder of the pitfalls of scaling, ranging from compromising on product philosophy, user support and the crucial support/engineering relationship.
context here is that we painfully switched from discord to slack 3 months ago, still figuring it out, but i think finally getting there.
but there are so many, so many little things that's symptomatic of corporate software vs user software that kills you when you have to use it day to day, and the forcing of everything to be a thread, and inability to inline reply to a thread.
this is not just annoying but makes it extremely hard for someone to get a sense of what's going on via browsing one channel.
even if you go to install some plugin, it's painfully hidden and does not even work.
what kills me of course, is knowing that any of us (or even me) can fix this quick if we could, but of course we can't.
this is just one example. there are so many, like poor shortcut support, extreme annoyances when people are in, extreme confusion between user groups and sections, etc etc etc.
you get the sense that the product designers are less focused on sparking joy for users, but more around some high level corporate goal of forcing threads, maybe the recap feature or the ai summaries.
discord’s inline replies with explicit threads work because they preserve narrative flow while adding structure. slack chose structure overflow, because structure scales better for enterprise reporting, ai summarization, “look how organized we are” demos, and clippy style messages by some pm who is desparate to show he is working.
and when you talk to support? there are NO SOLUTIONS, only upselling and bland explainers about why this is a "superior" solution.
this is not their fault obviously, i dont think it is their mandate or kpi to improve the product or make users happy, as their customers don't quit, of course not, since the switching cost is so high.
and they are probably not empowered at all to have a serious conversations with the product leads, who are of coz more focused on snappy features like AI or rev generating upskill products, or features enterprise opsec needs.
great product → cultural moment → enterprise adoption → acquisition → enshittification → users feel vaguely tired but can’t leave because network effects.
it sucks because slack is indeed better for a internal team that is scaling, but discord is just so much, so much more friendly in so many small ways.
i refuse to think u cannot be both - it's definitely possible to scale, hit strategic goals and build great systems/sw/platforms for users.
apple is of course, the prime example of that, bless jobs, may his legacy live on for a long time, both within apple and as inspirations to everyone.
lastly, much like a prick in the toe, may the tiny indignations of using slack day to day serve as a daily reminder to me that we need to have a culture, systems and core value of products that spark joy.

Just use Jupiter (Mobile)
One of the big reasons why @jup_mobile is the app it is today is because of pioneers in the space.
Much of what you see in the app is heavily inspired by OG wallets. From UX to feature requests from Solana users. We picked and chose what was needed and removed the noise.
Throwback 2021, downloading Phantom/Solflare, you wouldn’t recognise them now one bit. Credit where credit is due. But that’s how much they’ve improved, how much Solana improved. Everyone is shipping and so are we.
Fun fact — we recently passed the 1 year mark since launching the app.
As we cross this momentous milestone, here’s a recap of what we’ve built to make Jup Mobile so fast, reliable and unapologetically beautiful.
Day 0
Jupiter launches the mobile app.
We knew on day 1 that we weren’t gonna be able to compete with Phantom, Solflare and Backpack in terms of a fully-equipped wallet. So…
We scoped down and built the best wallet for swapping. Clean UX, fast and reliable. Auto-configured swap settings, powered by Ultra.
Worked exactly the way you needed it to.
We made the decision to go fully-native on iOS and Android despite how insane it is to maintain 2 separate codebases but we know how important UX is. We bit the bullet and till today, it continues to pay off, now an insanely powerful app with so many functionalities, but still incredibly smooth.
Q1 2025
The Best Mobile Swap Experience.
We equipped the app with functions you’ve seen on all wallets, dApp browsing, hardware support and token discovery.
Then ended Q1 by launching crypto’s first sending token function that doesn’t require a recipient’s address.
Q2 & Q3 2025
The Best App for DeFi.
We pushed towards making Jup Mobile the best app for DeFi.
Jup Portfolio to view tokens and DeFi positions, showing your true net worth unlike any other wallets. Native Earn, Social Logins, dapp searches, multi-tab browsing, and many more UX upgrades to make the app smoother even with all the new complexities.
We also launched the desktop wallet with seamless access to your Jup Mobile wallets via Jupiter Sync. It’s insanely fast lol.
Q4 2025
The Best Mobile Trenching Experience.
PnL tracking, real-time token discovery, dedicated filters for token metrics, launchpad filters, watchlists, enhanced token pages with advanced charts, granular token info like holders/tx live feed and your full coverage of history around a token.
Ending with the smoothest and sexiest quick buy/sell you’ll get from a mobile app, powered by Ultra swaps. We made trenching so easy for normies, with guardrails like organic scoring, holder scores and many safeguards all built in.
Trust me when I say this, but you don’t have to sit in front of monitors to trench anymore.
Ok damn there’s so much more, just go check the app out for a TLDR.
Q1-Q4 2025
[Redacted]
Feels like we only just started. The app is comparatively still so young. There’s still so much to come in Jup Mobile, native NFTs, native perps and much much more…
Of course I’ll love for you to try the app now if you haven’t. That said.
Wallets continues to push and inspire one another to keep getting better each day and delivering the best for all users of Solana.
Go download all the wallets, try them out for yourself and see which fits you best. That’s the beauty of competition and what makes this space so incredible. I personally like Jupiter Mobile (not biased).
We will continue shipping as we do in Jupiter. If any, like always, drop me your feedback or suggestions, let’s get to work.
BREAKING: Coinbase partnered with @JupiterExchange to trade every Solana token on their platform.
Whether you like them or not, Jupiter is building an empire.
$JUP repricing will eventually happen.
