Jupiter DEX: The Complete Guide

Everything you need to know about using Jupiter, Solana's leading DEX aggregator. From basic swaps to advanced features.

🪐 What is Jupiter?

Jupiter is a DEX aggregator for Solana. Instead of trading on a single exchange, Jupiter routes your trade across multiple DEXs (Raydium, Orca, Phoenix, etc.) to find you the best price.

Think of it like Kayak for flights — it searches everywhere and shows you the best deal. This typically saves traders 1-3% per trade compared to using a single DEX.

💡 Pro Tip: Wallet Bot uses Jupiter's API under the hood, so you get the best prices automatically on every trade.

    Choose what you're swapping from and to. You can paste a token address if it's not listed

  3. 3

  4. 4
    Review & Swap

    Check the route, fees, and slippage before confirming

⚙️ Understanding Slippage

Slippage is the difference between expected price and actual execution price. It happens because prices change between when you submit a trade and when it executes.

0.1% - 0.5%

For stable pairs and high liquidity tokens

1% - 3%

For most memecoins and medium liquidity

5%+

For new or low liquidity tokens

⚠️ Warning: High slippage settings can lead to sandwich attacks. Learn more in our slippage guide.

💡 Pro Tips for Jupiter Trading

  • Check the route: Sometimes splitting across multiple DEXs gives better prices

  • Watch price impact: If it's over 1%, consider breaking into smaller trades
  • Verify token addresses: Always double-check you're trading the right token
