1. Project Introduction
Jupiter is a DEX aggregator based on the Solana blockchain, designed to aggregate liquidity for traders seeking the best possible prices with minimal slippage. The product is divided into two main components: trading infrastructure and the LFG Launchpad. The trading infrastructure includes features like liquidity aggregation, Perpetual (Perps) trading, meme token trading (Ape), limit orders, and Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) strategies. In January 2024, Jupiter launched the beta version of its Launchpad, completing token offerings for six projects, including JUP, WEN, and ZEUS.
Summary: Jupiter is regarded as the "Uniswap and gold shovel" of the Solana ecosystem, thanks to its trading gateway and Launchpad capabilities. It currently holds the highest Total Value Locked (TVL) among DEXs in the Solana ecosystem. According to Dune, Jupiter has processed a total trading volume of $275.9 billion, with 8.98 million traders. Its 24-hour trading volume is $677 million, with around 139,000 active traders in the same period.
