How voting works

JUP holders who have staked their tokens can vote on governance proposals through the Jupiter DAO. Each staker’s influence is proportional to their staked balance (voting power). Voting is an onchain transaction. You need a small amount of SOL (~0.01) in your wallet to cover the transaction fee.

How to vote

1

Connect your wallet

Go to vote.jup.ag and connect the wallet where your JUP is staked.
2

Find the active proposal

Scroll to the “Proposals” section at the bottom of the page. Active proposals appear at the top of the list. Click on the proposal you want to vote on to see its details and vote options.
3

Cast your vote

Select your preferred option, click “Vote,” and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
4

Confirm

The proposal page will update to show what you voted for and the voting power you used. You can also leave verified feedback.
You can change your vote at any time while the proposal is still active by simply voting again with a different option.

Vote options

Most proposals include “For,” “Against,” and “Abstain” options. Selecting “Abstain” means you are participating in governance but choosing not to take a position. Your voting power still counts toward quorum. The option you choose has no impact on your ASR allocation. Voting activity is not required for ASR eligibility. ASR is distributed based on time-weighted stake only. See ASR for details.

Voting power while unstaking

If you vote on a proposal while you are in the process of unstaking, your voting power is calculated based on what your staking account will hold at the end of the proposal, not your current staked balance. This is a safeguard. Without it, someone could vote, finish unstaking, transfer tokens to another wallet, restake, and vote again on the same proposal.

Can’t vote even though JUP is staked

If your JUP is staked but you’re unable to vote, check that you have at least ~0.01 SOL in your wallet. Voting is an onchain transaction and requires gas.

Stay informed about upcoming votes

There are several ways to make sure you don’t miss a vote:
  • Discord: proposals are typically shared in announcements. The lead-up usually lasts 7 to 10 days, and the voting period runs for 3 to 4 days.
  • DAO Twitter: posts the voting calendar and reminders while a vote is live.
  • Email notifications: on the vote page, select “Notify me” to receive email alerts when a vote opens.

You can view all past proposals and your personal voting history by connecting your wallet at vote.jup.ag.
