Token Functionalities

Asset Ownership

  • On-Chain Asset Title/Pool Share (Strong)

    Right to redeem or exchange a pro rata claim on contract-controlled JLP pool assets. The right is held by any JLP holder. Strength is Strong because JLP represents a live pool-share claim and can be acquired, swapped, redeemed or burned without evidence of delayed, capped or permissioned redemption.

Collateral

  • Financial Collateral

    Right to pledge JLP as collateral to borrow the USDC stablecoin through Jupiter JLP Loans, subject to liquidation if the position breaches risk limits. The right is held by JLP holders using the lending product.

  • Risk-Underwriting Stake

    Right to underwrite Jupiter Perps counterparty risk through the JLP pool. Profitable trader positions are paid from the pool, while trader losses accrue to the pool; in exchange, JLP holders receive exposure to pool economics, including 75% of Jupiter Perps fees.
