About Jupiter
Jupiter is a Solana trading suite that routes swaps across on-chain liquidity to help you find competitive prices, and adds power tools for automation and analysis.
It covers instant swaps, a “Pro” trading interface with analytics and MEV protection, trigger (conditional) orders, recurring DCA, a Perps venue, a portfolio view, and developer APIs/SDKs for builders.
Launched in 2021, Jupiter connects users to multiple decentralized exchanges, allowing for optimal price discovery and trade execution.
Jupiter Key Features

What makes Jupiter special?
Jupiter combines an established swap aggregator with native automation and pro-grade tooling you can access in a single Solana app. The routing stack and public API/SDK power many integrations, while Pro surfaces tradeflow analytics and adds Ultra Mode for MEV-aware execution.
On top of spot markets, Jupiter runs a Perps venue that uses multiple oracle sources (including Pyth and Chainlink) to inform fair pricing, plus clear documentation around JLP mechanics and risks.
