In the fast-paced world of decentralized finance (DeFi), where platforms often prioritize profits over people, Jupiter Exchange stands out by putting its community at the forefront. A recent thread on X from Slorg, a key figure at Jupiter, breaks down exactly how this Solana-based DEX (decentralized exchange) shares the wealth and keeps things user-friendly. If you're into meme tokens or just looking to maximize your yields on Solana, this is worth paying attention to.

Slorg kicks things off by emphasizing Jupiter's generous revenue distribution model. For instance, 75% of fees from perpetual futures trading—often called "perps," which are contracts that let you bet on asset prices without expiration—go straight to holders of JLP, Jupiter's liquidity provider token. This means if you're providing liquidity, you're getting a big slice of the pie from trading activity.

But it doesn't stop there. Half of the overall protocol revenues feed into something called the Litterbox Trust, which sounds quirky but is likely a community-managed fund (think cat-themed branding, fitting for the meme crowd). Another 50% of the JUP token supply—Jupiter's governance token—is controlled by the community itself, giving users real say in the platform's direction.

Slorg also highlights JupSOL, Jupiter's liquid staking token (LST). LSTs let you stake your Solana (SOL) tokens to secure the network while keeping them liquid for trading or other uses. With JupSOL, you get 100% of staking rewards, 100% of MEV (miner extractable value, basically extra profits validators can grab from transaction ordering), and 80-100% of block rewards and priority fees. No wonder it boasts the highest yield among major LSTs. Even commissions from partners like Sanctum flow back to the DAO (decentralized autonomous organization), ensuring community benefits.

On the trading side, Jupiter Ultra is touted as the most advanced swap tool in DeFi, with fees capped at just 0.1%—that's up to 10 times lower than many competitors. And if you prefer, there's a manual mode that's completely free. This low-fee structure is a game-changer for meme token traders on Solana, where high-volume, low-value trades are common. Swapping your favorite cat or dog memes without getting eaten by fees? Yes, please.

Slorg wraps up by noting that this isn't about quick wins; it's a long-term play. "Some people may think it's crazy to give so much back, but it's never been about short-term games," he says. The thread has sparked reactions from the community, with users chiming in their support and sharing how they're already all-in on Jupiter.

For meme token enthusiasts, Jupiter's model aligns perfectly with the grassroots, community-driven ethos of the space. Platforms like this make it easier to launch, trade, and hodl memes without centralized gatekeepers siphoning off the fun (and profits). If you're not already using Jupiter Exchange, as Slorg urges, it might be time to jump in—especially with Solana's meme ecosystem booming.

This approach not only builds loyalty but also positions Jupiter as a leader in sustainable DeFi. As blockchain tech evolves, expect more projects to follow suit, but for now, Jupiter is setting the bar high.
