Jupiter: score, security record and what it is for

82/100SCORE · BTrusted Grade B, very good

Jupiter aggregates every liquidity source on Solana and routes your swap to the best combined price, which on a chain with many small venues makes a real difference. Fees are effectively the underlying pool fee plus a fraction of a cent in network costs. It has no exploit history and is the standard tool on the chain. The constraint is simply that it is Solana only.

Where it is strong and where it is not

✓ Strengths
  • Routes across every Solana venue at once for the best price
  • Solana fees make small swaps genuinely viable
  • Built in limit orders and dollar cost averaging
  • No exploit history
✗ Weaknesses
  • Solana only
  • You inherit the risk of whichever pool it routes into
  • Solana has had network outages, historically more than most chains

Exploit history

No exploit of the core contracts on record.

Our read

The default way to trade on Solana and deservedly so. Aggregators carry less contract risk than holding liquidity, because they route rather than custody. The residual risk is the underlying pools it routes through.
