Solana Spot (via Jupiter Ultra)

For any Solana token not listed on Hyperliquid, trades route through Jupiter Ultra.

What is Jupiter Ultra?

Jupiter Ultra is a meta-aggregation layer that finds the best execution across all Solana liquidity sources. It goes beyond simple DEX aggregation by:

Comparing actual execution vs. quoted prices: Ultra simulates trades before routing to predict real slippage, not just quoted prices.

MEV Protection: Transactions execute via ShadowLane, Jupiter's proprietary landing engine. Trades never touch external mempools, eliminating sandwich attack risk.

Sub-second landing: 50-400ms transaction times vs. 400ms-1.2s for traditional methods.

Liquidity Sources

Ultra aggregates from:

  • Iris (Jupiter's own router)

  • JupiterZ (zero-slippage engine)

  • DFlow

  • Hashflow

  • OKX

  • All major Solana AMMs

Gasless Swaps

For trades above ~$10 USD, Ultra can cover gas fees automatically. The fee is deducted from your swap amount, so no SOL balance is required.

Trade Settings

You can customize execution in Settings:

Setting
Description

Speed Mode

Fast (higher slippage tolerance) or Economy (lower fees)

Priority Fee

Extra fee to validators for faster confirmation

Slippage

Maximum acceptable price movement

MEV Protection

On (better pricing, safer) or Off (faster)

For most trades, the defaults work well. Adjust for volatile tokens or time-sensitive trades.

Finding Tokens

Search: Enter contract address, ticker, or token name in the search bar.

Trending: Browse featured and trending tokens on the Discover page.

Telegram Bot: Paste any token address in a Bullpen-enabled chat. The bot analyzes the token and lets you trade directly.
