What is Jupiter?

Jupiter is a decentralized exchange aggregator (DEX Aggregator) built on the Solana network, dedicated to providing users with the best token exchange paths. As one of the largest exchange aggregators on Solana, Jupiter integrates multiple liquidity pools such as Raydium, Orca, Lifinity, greatly enhancing trading efficiency and reducing slippage.

The biggest highlight of Jupiter is its “smart routing” feature, which automatically helps users split and combine orders along the optimal path, thus completing exchange operations with minimal transaction costs. Currently, Jupiter has become an indispensable liquidity entry point in the Solana ecosystem.

Overview of Jupiter Lend protocol

In recent development progress, Jupiter officially announced a collaboration with the lending protocol Fluid to launch the brand new Jupiter Lend protocol. This is a crucial step for the Jupiter ecosystem from “aggregated trading” to “aggregated finance.”

The main functions of the Lend protocol include:

• Users can pledge assets such as SOL, USDC, JUP to obtain borrowing limits;
• Support leveraged long/short positions on Jupiter internal assets;
• Integrate lending with existing trading paths to achieve a seamless financial experience.

The Lend protocol is currently in the testing phase and will gradually be opened to community users in the coming weeks.

Market Impact and Outlook

The launch of the Lend protocol means that Jupiter is no longer just a “liquidity entry point,” but is evolving into a complete DeFi financial suite. The market generally believes that this product will bring the following three boosts to the Jupiter Price:

1. Enhancing capital efficiency: By leveraging lending cycles, let assets ‘move’ to attract more TVL (Total Value Locked);
2. User retention binding: DeFi users can complete operations such as exchange, lending, and leverage in one stop.
3. Stimulating the use cases of JUP token: The Lend protocol may set up discounts such as lower interest rates for using JUP.

If the protocol is successfully launched and receives positive market feedback, the Jupiter Price is expected to break through the current $0.40 level, looking up to $0.50–$0.60.

How to get started with trading Jupiter?

New users who want to participate in Jupiter can obtain JUP through the following methods:

• Centralized exchanges: JUP is currently listed on major platforms like Gate.
• Decentralized wallet exchange: Connect to the Jupiter official website via the Phantom wallet to exchange assets such as USDC and SOL.
• Participate in ecosystem activities: The official team often launches airdrops, incentive trading, and other community activities. You can follow their Twitter and Discord for first-hand information.

Summary

Jupiter Price has experienced increased volatility due to short-term market influences, but overall remains in a strong support zone. As the Lend protocol gradually rolls out, Jupiter’s platform positioning will become more diversified. In the long term, Jupiter may become the first infrastructure project on Solana to achieve a complete DeFi service closed loop, making it worthy of continued attention.
