Model guide
You trade against a shared liquidity pool (JLP, ALP, FLP) at the oracle price — zero slippage, and LPs are the counterparty. Used by Jupiter Perps, Adrena, Flash Trade.
A central limit order book matches longs and shorts directly, like a traditional exchange — precise limit orders and price discovery. Used by Zeta.
Combines an order book with an AMM and just-in-time liquidity, all anchored to an oracle. Drift uses this model.
The largest position you can open per unit of collateral. Higher leverage means a smaller adverse move triggers liquidation.
Provide liquidity to the pool (or stake the LP token) to earn a share of trading fees — you also take the other side of traders' PnL.
Whether the venue also offers spot trading alongside perps, so you can manage spot and leveraged exposure in one account.
How it works
The pricing model — more than the brand — decides your slippage, your costs, and how you get filled.
Perpetual futures
A perpetual future lets you go long or short an asset with leverage — without holding it and with no expiry. You post collateral (margin), pick a direction and leverage, and your PnL tracks the price move, magnified by the leverage.
Oracle + LP pool
Jupiter Perps, Adrena, and Flash Trade price trades from an on-chain oracle and route them against a shared liquidity pool (JLP, ALP, FLP). You get zero slippage and deep liquidity; the LPs take the other side and earn the fees.
Orderbook (CLOB)
Zeta runs a central limit order book that matches longs and shorts directly, like a traditional exchange — giving makers precise limit-order control and on-chain price discovery.
Leverage & liquidation
Leverage multiplies your exposure, gains, and losses alike. If price moves against you far enough, the protocol liquidates your position to repay the pool — and higher leverage means a smaller move wipes you out.
Funding & borrow fees
To keep the perp near spot, orderbook venues charge a funding rate between longs and shorts; oracle-pool venues charge a borrow fee for the liquidity you use. Either way, holding a leveraged position has an ongoing cost.
Settlement
Everything settles on Solana from your own wallet — no exchange account, no KYC. Your collateral and positions live in on-chain programs, and you keep custody throughout.
Guide
They all offer ~100x on majors — so the real decision is liquidity, the markets you trade, costs, and the tools you need around perps.
Liquidity & slippage
Deeper liquidity means less slippage on size. Oracle-pool venues quote zero slippage against the pool, and Jupiter Perps has the deepest pool of any Solana perp. Orderbook depth varies by market.
Leverage
All offer up to ~100x on majors. Don't pick on the headline number — more leverage just means faster liquidation. Match leverage to your risk and the market's volatility.
Markets
Drift lists the most markets (50+). Jupiter Perps focuses on SOL, ETH, and wBTC with the deepest liquidity. Pick a venue that actually lists the assets you want to trade.
Fees & funding
Compare taker fees and the funding or borrow cost of holding. Jupiter Perps publishes 0.06% open/close plus a borrow fee; others are tiered. For held positions, carry can matter more than the entry fee.
Spot & tools
Some venues bundle spot, lending, and vaults so you can manage everything in one account — Drift adds prediction markets, Zeta and Flash add spot and multi-collateral.
Yield instead of bets
Prefer yield to directional bets? LP-pool tokens (JLP, ALP, FLP) earn trading fees, and delta-neutral strategies collect funding while hedging price.
