Revenue

Jupiter generates revenue from fees across its product suite, including perpetuals, spot swaps, limit orders, DCA, and onchain/offchain liquidity aggregation. Revenue is split as follows:
  • 50% of onchain revenue is sent to the Litterbox Trust, a non-profit entity with the mandate to accumulate JUP through programmatic onchain purchases.
  • The remaining 50% of onchain revenue, along with offchain revenue, forms the operational budget of the team. Excess funds go into treasury reserves. This budget is distributed across Foundation and Labs entities.
No profit (revenue net of costs) flows to founders or insiders.

Litterbox Trust

The Litterbox Trust has been active since February 2025. It receives 50% of all onchain Jupiter revenue and uses it to buy JUP on the open market through automated, programmatic onchain transactions. The trust functions as a long-term strategic reserve. To date, it has burned approximately 134 million JUP.

Value accrual

There is no equity entity within Jupiter’s structure. All value generated by Jupiter products accrues to the JUP token and the protocol. There are no present or future plans to return cash flow to equity holders through dividends or share repurchases. JUP holders do not receive a direct percentage of protocol fees. They benefit indirectly through the Litterbox Trust’s programmatic JUP purchases, funded by 50% of onchain revenue, and through ASR rewards distributed quarterly to stakers based on time-weighted stake. Additional utility for JUP stakers is being explored across the Jupiter product suite. No specific features have been confirmed at this time. Jupiter commits to publicly disclosing all related party transactions within 30 days.

Market makers and exchange listings

Jupiter has never conducted an OTC sale and has not made any discounted sales to market makers. The team has worked with three market makers:
