Jupiter
Jupiter is Solana's dominant pool-based perps venue, offering up to 100x on a handful of major assets.
Jupiter Perps is the perpetuals product from Solana's largest aggregator. It uses a liquidity-pool model rather than an orderbook, focuses on a small set of blue-chip assets with deep liquidity, and settles in the JUP ecosystem.
Jupiter fees
Jupiter charges about 0 bps maker and 6 bps taker (a basis point is 0.01%). As with any perp venue, the funding rate often matters more than the headline fee: it is a recurring payment between longs and shorts that can quietly run for or against your position. See how this stacks up on the lowest-fee perp DEX ranking.
Jupiter leverage & markets
Jupiter offers up to 100x leverage across crypto markets on Solana. Higher leverage magnifies both gains and liquidation risk, so size positions carefully. For the most aggressive limits, see the highest-leverage perp DEX ranking.
Is Jupiter safe and is there KYC?
Jupiter is non-custodial: your funds stay in your own wallet and you sign each trade, so there is no company holding your balance and typically no KYC. The trade-off is smart-contract and liquidation risk, so prefer venues with a solid track record and verify contracts yourself.
Who is behind Jupiter?
Jupiter was built by Meow and Siong Ong, who started Jupiter as a Solana aggregator in 2021.
Backers: Largely self-funded as a product on Solana.
