JLP Quick Review

Let’s dive into the details of Jupiter Liquidity Providers (JLPs) and explore how they contribute to the trading ecosystem:

• Role of JLPs:JLPs are essential for maintaining liquidity in the perpetual trading market. They ensure there’s enough liquidity available, allowing traders to execute their strategies effectively.
  • By providing liquidity, JLPs enable Jupiter to offer its trading services without holding massive amounts of liquidity themselves.
  • In return, JLPs receive a significant portion of the trading fees.
• Becoming an LP:To become a Liquidity Provider (LP), you need to contribute assets or tokens to the Jupiter Liquidity Provider Pool (JLP Pool).
  • JLP tokens represent your share in the pool.
  • Any asset traded on JUP can be used to buy into JLP, but keep in mind there are associated fees.
  • You can learn more about obtaining JLP tokens in the “How To Get JLP” section.
• Rewards and Earnings:75% of perpetual trading fees go into the JLP pool, which is then distributed among JLP holders. This distribution reflects as an increase in the JLP token price.
  • The earnings form an Annual Percentage Rate (APR), and higher trading volume generally leads to better returns for JLP holders.
• Advantages of the JLP System:Unlike traditional staking or yield farming, JLP holders don’t need to actively stake or harvest yields.
  • APR earnings are automatically embedded within each JLP token.
  • JLP tokens are SPL tokens, making them easily transferable and tradable within the Solana ecosystem.
  • Automated Market Maker (AMM) pools can be set up for trading JLP tokens.
