Change the value of 

'ttl' => 60, //Defaults to 1 hour

in your project /config/jwt.php

This is in Laravel 5.2 & JWT 0.5.

JWT supports a number of reserved claims. One of these is "exp". You encode a claim with this name and a timestamp as the value:

$key = "example_key";
$token = array(
    "sample_key" => "sample_value",
    "exp" => 1356999524, // expiration timestamp
);


$jwt = JWT::encode($token, $key);

As far as I know, jwt tokens are used for ajax requests and api development. If you are using laravel blades for your client side, then you don't need to use jwt. Laravel has a built in services for CSRF tokens and authentication.

laravel.com/docs/master/routing#csrf-protection

But you still need to use jwt, read this tutorial:
