Jupiter Reviews
Perpetual trading inside Solana's largest trading ecosystem: fast execution, minimal network costs, but a narrow market list.
Jupiter Rating
Our Opinion
Jupiter is the central trading venue on Solana and built its perpetuals as part of a wider ecosystem. As with GMX, trades run against a liquidity pool — here the JLP pool, which bundles Solana, Ethereum, Bitcoin and stablecoins and recently stood at around 1.4 billion US dollars.
In practice Solana plays to its strengths: network fees sit at a fraction of a cent and execution is fast. Trading fees run around 0.06% on open and close, plus funding costs on open positions. Very high leverage tiers arrived on selected pairs in 2026.
The constraint is breadth: perpetual trading concentrates on the major pairs around SOL, ETH and BTC, so anyone looking for a wide altcoin perpetual list is in the wrong place. For users already active on Solana, Jupiter is the obvious route. The platform holds no EU authorisation; perpetuals sit outside MiCA in any case, and tax reporting rests entirely with the user.
Pros & Cons
- Near-zero network fees on Solana
- Very fast execution
- Embedded in Solana's largest trading ecosystem
- Pool model without order-book slippage
- Liquidity provision through JLP with a share of fees
- Narrow market list — essentially the major pairs
- Funding costs on open positions
- Very high leverage tiers on individual pairs raise liquidation risk
- No EU authorisation
