Jupiter (JUP)

What is Jupiter?
Jupiter is a decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator built on the Solana blockchain that helps users get the best possible prices when swapping tokens. Rather than operating as a single exchange, it scans liquidity across multiple Solana-based DEXs and automatically routes trades for optimal execution. This approach enables fast, low-cost swaps with minimal slippage by tapping into broad liquidity sources.

 Key Features

• Best Swap Routing: Jupiter finds the most cost-efficient paths for token swaps by aggregating liquidity from various protocols.
• Multiple Trading Tools: In addition to simple swaps, the platform supports advanced features such as limit orders and recurring buys (DCA).
• Cross-Chain Bridge: Jupiter includes a bridge solution that makes moving assets between Solana and other chains easier.
• Perpetual Futures & Additional Products: Some versions include beta tools for perpetuals and other DeFi services beyond basic swaps.

How It Works
When a user initiates a swap, Jupiter’s smart routing algorithm evaluates liquidity pools across integrated Solana DEXs (such as Raydium, Orca, Saber, and others) in real-time, determining the best route to minimize fees and slippage.

Why It Matters

• Efficiency: Users save on transaction costs and get better rates than they might on a single DEX.
•  Speed: Built on Solana’s high-throughput blockchain, swaps execute rapidly.
• Community-Driven Growth: As a core part of the Solana DeFi stack, Jupiter continues expanding its offerings and ecosystem integrations.
