Jupiter

Jupiter (JUP) is a decentralized exchange platform that runs on the Solana blockchain. The project is classed as a DEX aggregator. It also appears under the decentralized finance, perpetuals, launchpad and exchange-based token categories.

The platform groups several functions in one service. These include token swaps, orders that execute at a price the user sets, recurring purchases spread over time, and a bridge for moving assets onto Solana. A beta product for perpetual futures is also part of the offering.

For swaps, Jupiter checks the major liquidity sources on Solana and chooses a route based on pricing. This routing role is why the project is described as an aggregator.

JUP is included in the GMCI DeFi Index. It is also listed within the wider Solana ecosystem category.
