According to the source, the Solana-based decentralized exchange (DEX) Jupiter is pausing all DAO votes until the end of 2025 due to a 'breakdown in trust' and a 'perpetual FUD cycle' that hinders progress. Jupiter executive Kash Dhanda stated the current DAO structure is not working as intended during a 'critical period' for defining the future of DeFi. For traders, this means active staking rewards (ASR) will continue at a rate of 50 million JUP per quarter, but no new DAO-funded work groups will be created, thus preventing additional token emissions from that source. This governance overhaul comes as the JUP token has fallen 21.8% over the past 30 days, although the news did not cause significant immediate price movement, with JUP trading around $0.40.
