Jupiter

Jupiter is Solana's dominant DEX aggregator and the central hub for decentralized trading on the network. Processing billions of dollars in monthly volume, Jupiter routes trades across dozens of liquidity sources to ensure users always get the best possible swap prices with minimal slippage. Beyond simple token swaps, Jupiter has evolved into a comprehensive DeFi platform. Jupiter Perps offers decentralized perpetual futures trading with up to 100x leverage, backed by the JLP liquidity pool that has attracted hundreds of millions in TVL. The DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) feature allows users to automate recurring purchases of any Solana token at set intervals, while limit orders execute trades automatically when tokens hit target prices. Jupiter's LFG Launchpad has become the premier platform for new Solana token launches, featuring community-vetted projects with transparent pricing mechanisms. The platform's JUP governance token gives holders voting power over protocol decisions and fee structures, making it one of the most community-driven protocols on Solana. The aggregator integrates with virtually every DEX on Solana, including Raydium, Orca, Meteora, Lifinity, and more, comparing routes across all of them in real time. This means traders always get optimal pricing without needing to manually check multiple exchanges. Jupiter also offers a robust API that powers many third-party trading interfaces and bots across the ecosystem. The platform is free to use for standard swaps, with fees only applying to advanced products like perpetuals.
