JupUSD is being developed in partnership with Ethana Labs, known for minting over $16 billion in stablecoins through their project.

The stablecoin will be fully collateralized by Ethana Labs’ USDtb, a stablecoin that’s backed by treasury funds including BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL).

The team plans to add USDe as a secondary backing asset, aiming to boost yield potential.

Smart contracts that allow minting and redemption of JupUSD are being built, Jupiter said, with multiple audits expected ahead of the launch.

Jupiter, a Solana-based decentralized exchange aggregator that has since expanded its offerings, currently has $3.58 billion in total value locked according to DeFiLlama, making it the leading protocol on Solana.

The system would use zero-knowledge proofs and secure environments (MPC/TEEs) to protect voter identity and sensitive data while preventing coercion and bribery.

What to know:

  • Buterin proposed deploying individual AI models trained on users' values to automate voting on thousands of DAO decisions, addressing low participation and voter delegation to large token holders.
  • The system would use zero-knowledge proofs and secure environments (MPC/TEEs) to protect voter identity and sensitive data while preventing coercion and bribery.
  • Prediction markets would incentivize quality proposals and filter out spam, while AI agents flag only critical issues for human review, automating routine governance participation.
