Jupiter | The Home of Onchain Finance on Solana at jup.ag
Jupiter is the leading decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator and DeFi superapp on the Solana blockchain. Available at jup.ag, it provides the best token swap rates by routing trades across all major Solana AMMs and liquidity pools simultaneously — delivering optimal prices, minimal slippage, and near-instant execution at the lowest possible fees.
Founded in 2021 and trusted by millions of traders, Jupiter controls approximately 95% of Solana's DEX aggregator market share and handles over 50% of all DEX trading volume on the network. With over $3 billion in total value locked (TVL) and a full suite of DeFi products — including swaps, limit orders, perpetuals trading, lending, liquid staking, and a native stablecoin — jup.ag has evolved from a simple swap tool into Solana's premier all-in-one DeFi platform.
What is Jupiter?
Jupiter is a decentralized swap aggregator and DeFi hub built on the Solana blockchain, launched in October 2021 by pseudonymous co-founders "Meow" and Siong Ong. It was originally designed to solve Solana's liquidity fragmentation problem — aggregating prices and routes from dozens of decentralized exchanges so users always get the best possible rate in a single transaction.
Today, Jupiter is far more than a swap aggregator. At jup.ag you can swap tokens, place limit orders, set up dollar-cost averaging (DCA) strategies, trade perpetuals with leverage, borrow and lend assets, stake SOL for liquid staking rewards, and participate in new token launches — all from one unified, non-custodial interface.
Jupiter is non-custodial and open-source. Trades execute directly from your connected wallet, and the platform never holds your funds at any point.
Why Use Jupiter?
Best Prices on Every Swap
Jupiter scans liquidity across all major Solana DEXs simultaneously — including Raydium, Orca, Meteora, Phoenix, and many more — to find the optimal routing path for every trade. The result is consistently better prices than any single exchange can offer at jup.ag.
Ultra V3 Routing Engine
Jupiter runs on the Ultra V3 engine, powered by the Iris routing algorithm. It delivers 100x faster pathfinding than previous versions, on-chain slippage simulation, MEV sandwich attack protection via the private transaction relay Beam, and sub-second settlement — making jup.ag the most advanced swap engine on Solana.
Every Token on Solana
Jupiter routes trades for every token on Solana — from major assets like SOL, USDC, and ETH to the newest memecoins and long-tail tokens with minimal liquidity. No minimum liquidity requirement exists at jup.ag.
Gasless Swaps
For trades above approximately $10, Jupiter covers the SOL network fee on behalf of the user — making swaps effectively gasless for most traders on jup.ag.
Full DeFi Suite in One Place
Swap, borrow, lend, trade perps, stake, and launch tokens — all from Jupiter. No need to navigate multiple platforms or move funds between protocols.
Non-Custodial and Open Source
Jupiter never holds your assets. All transactions execute directly from your connected Solana wallet, and the full codebase is publicly auditable at jup.ag.
Community-Governed via JUP Token
Jupiter is governed by its community through the JUP token and the Jupiter DAO. Token holders vote on key platform decisions and ecosystem initiatives at jup.ag.
Key Features of Jupiter
Jupiter Swap (DEX Aggregator)
The core feature of Jupiter is its swap aggregator. When you initiate a trade at jup.ag, Jupiter's routing engine:
Analyzes liquidity across all Solana DEXs and liquidity pools
Splits orders across multiple routes to minimize price impact
Simulates each route on-chain to predict the actual output
Selects the path that delivers the highest real output — not just the best quoted price
Executes the trade directly from your wallet in under one second
On average, Jupiter Ultra V3 achieves positive slippage for users — meaning traders often receive slightly more than the quoted amount at jup.ag.
Limit Orders
Jupiter supports fully decentralized limit orders on Solana. Set a specific buy or sell price for any token pair and Jupiter will automatically execute the trade when the market hits your target — without you needing to monitor prices or stay online at jup.ag.
Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA)
Jupiter offers a built-in DCA feature that automates regular token purchases at fixed time intervals. This allows traders to spread risk across market cycles and accumulate assets gradually — a strategy widely used by long-term investors at jup.ag.
Perpetuals Trading
Jupiter Perpetuals is a decentralized perpetual futures trading platform on Solana, ranked in the top 10 perp DEXs globally by trading volume. Trade with leverage up to 250x on major assets including:
SOL
BTC (wrapped)
ETH (wrapped)
Liquidity for Jupiter Perpetuals is provided through the JLP (Jupiter Liquidity Pool), where liquidity providers deposit assets to earn trading fees. All perpetuals trading is available directly at jup.ag.
Jupiter Lend (Borrow and Lending)
Launched in August 2025, Jupiter Lend is a fully open-source decentralized lending and borrowing platform on Solana. In its first eight days, it reached over $1 billion in supplied assets — the fastest growth of any Solana lending protocol. Users can supply assets to earn yield or borrow against their holdings directly at jup.ag.
JupSOL (Liquid Staking)
Jupiter offers liquid staking through JupSOL — its native liquid staking token representing staked SOL. By staking SOL through jup.ag, users:
Receive JupSOL tokens representing their staked position
Earn validator staking rewards including MEV
Retain full liquidity — JupSOL can be swapped back to SOL at any time
Participate in DeFi activities while continuing to earn staking yield
JupSOL has grown to over $960 million in TVL, making Jupiter one of the largest Solana validators.
JupUSD (Native Stablecoin)
Jupiter launched JupUSD — a dollar-backed stablecoin built in partnership with Ethena, designed to work natively within the jup.ag product suite. JupUSD integrates directly with Jupiter's DCA strategies, limit orders, perpetuals, and lending products, enabling seamless on-chain financial operations without leaving Jupiter.
Bridge Aggregator
Jupiter includes a cross-chain bridge aggregator that compares routes from multiple bridging solutions — including Wormhole, Mayan Finance, and deBridge — to find the best option for transferring assets between Solana and other blockchains at jup.ag.
Token Launchpad
Jupiter operates a token launchpad for new Solana projects to distribute tokens to the community. JUP stakers and holders receive priority access to new launches at jup.ag.
JupiterZ (RFQ Engine)
JupiterZ is Jupiter's Request-for-Quote (RFQ) engine, connecting traders directly to professional market makers for off-chain fills at zero slippage. JupiterZ processes approximately $100 million in daily volume, delivering CEX-grade execution within the Jupiter interface at jup.ag.

Wallet not connecting — Ensure your Solana wallet extension is unlocked and up to date. Refresh jup.ag and try reconnecting.
