Altcoin Radar: Why Jupiter Could Be the Uniswap of Solana
Welcome to my new series Altcoin Radar, where I break down trending tokens and what’s really happening under the hood. First up: Jupiter, the rising star of Solana’s DeFi scene.
What is Jupiter?
Jupiter is the number one decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator on Solana.
It scans across all major Solana DEXs to get you the best price every time you swap. If you’ve traded on Solana, chances are—you’ve used Jupiter without even realizing it.
Why Jupiter is Gaining Momentum
Over 500M+ USD in daily trading volume
Built into top Solana wallets like Phantom
Explosive airdrop in early 2024 brought in hundreds of thousands of users
Integrated with more than 100 Solana-based tokens
What Makes the Jupiter Token Interesting
Jupiter’s native token isn’t just another governance token—it’s part of a larger vision:
Enables decentralized governance of the Jupiter platform
Powers upcoming features like Launchpad and Perpetuals
Deeply integrated into Solana’s growing DeFi ecosystem
Why It Matters
Jupiter is doing for Solana what Uniswap did for Ethereum.
If Solana continues to lead low-cost DeFi innovation, this platform could become one of the most important infrastructure layers in the ecosystem.
But There Are Risks
Early-stage volatility is high, especially post-airdrop
Token utility is still developing
Competing platforms like Orca and Drift are evolving fast
I’ve been watching Jupiter closely—it’s already driving serious volume and attention. If you believe in Solana, this platform (and its token) is worth keeping an eye on.
