The Jupiter (JUP) project is a Layer-1 protocol that aims to create and store decentralized applications on the Solana network. Jupiter also offers users advantages such as DEX aggregation, futures, and decentralized stablecoin liquidity pools. Additionally, it aims to offer many features such as limit orders, dollar-cost averaging (DCA), and bridge transactions.

When it first started, it aimed to create a platform similar to the 1inch project on Ethereum. However, the project has evolved further and added GMX-style perpetual futures to the platform.
Jupiter recommends staying away from stablecoins such as USDC and USDT because they carry risks such as custody arrangements.
As an alternative to these stablecoins, it aims to launch the decentralized SUSD stablecoin. SUSD is decentralized and also offers interest-free credit opportunities. It is also supported by Solana liquid staking tokens, LSTs.
The interest-free credit mechanism is done using SOL to generate SUSD. These used Solanas provide yield and are used for transaction costs. Thus, a continuous interest-free credit is provided.
Tokenomics
The total supply of JUP, the native token of the Jupiter project, is 10 billion tokens. It allows users to contribute to the network by providing features such as voting (Vote) and approval (Approve) on the Jupiter platform.
