Jupiter DEX
A liquidity aggregator decentralized exchange on Solana, optimizing token swaps across multiple protocols.
What is Jupiter DEX?
Jupiter DEX, launched in 2021 on Solana, aggregates liquidity from over 20 DEXs like Raydium and Orca, routing trades through the best price paths—including multi-hop via stablecoins—to minimize slippage and fees. It processed $47 billion in volume in March 2024, surpassing Uniswap’s $28 billion, leveraging Solana’s 65,000 TPS for sub-second executions.
Key features include limit orders, perpetuals trading via a dedicated pool, and automatic market listings for new Solana tokens. Jupiter’s algorithm scans 100+ routes per trade, reducing costs by 20-50% versus single-DEX swaps.
