A popular altcoin's price surged significantly in the past few days following a significant tokenomics overhaul announcement.
Meow, the pseudonymous co-founder of Solana-based Jupiter, revealed plans to revamp JUP tokenomics. The proposed changes include a 30% reduction in the total supply of JUP, currently at 10 billion tokens, a voluntary 30% cut in the team’s allocated tokens, and a 30% decrease in “Jupuary” emissions.
In a post on the X platform on July 27, Meow emphasized the importance of the upcoming week for JUP. This period will see significant development activity, voting, and discussions. By week’s end, the Jupiter community, including developers, JUP holders, and associated projects, will have a clear understanding of the new alignment.
The week will kick off with the release of the JUP Essay, followed by a community audit of JUP tokens distributed to date on Tuesday. The token supply reduction proposal will be put to a vote on Wednesday.
If approved, it could further boost JUP’s value by reducing supply and increasing demand. The plan to cut 3 billion tokens aims to enhance the token’s value and strengthen the community.
JUP’s price has risen more than 13% in the past 24 hours and is currently trading at $1.17.
