FAQ

Questions About How to Use Jupiter

What is the best Jupiter feature for beginners?
+
Start with Swaps — it is the simplest and safest product. Once comfortable, explore Limit Orders for price targets. Avoid Perpetuals until you fully understand liquidation mechanics.
How do I see my Jupiter order history?
+
Active and historical orders appear in the respective product tabs (Limit Orders shows active/filled/cancelled). Full transaction history is on-chain and visible on any Solana explorer like Solscan.
What is slippage on Jupiter?
+
Slippage is the difference between expected and actual execution price due to market movement or price impact. Jupiter defaults to 0.5% slippage tolerance for most swaps. Increase for very small or very illiquid tokens, decrease for large stablecoin swaps.
What is MEV on Jupiter?
+
MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) on Solana refers to validators reordering transactions for profit. Jupiter\'s Ultra mode routes through a private transaction service that protects swaps from MEV sandwich attacks.
Can I use Jupiter without SOL in my wallet?
+
You need a tiny amount of SOL for transaction fees (~0.000005 SOL per transaction). Ultra mode lets you pay fees in other tokens, but you still need SOL in the wallet for account rent deposits.

Trader Reactions

Power User
★★★★★

"The DCA feature is underrated. Setting monthly buys on JUP and SOL that execute automatically without touching the interface is exactly what dollar-cost averaging should feel like in DeFi."

Limit Order Fan
★★★★★

"Non-custodial limit orders are genuinely useful. Placed a limit order for SOL at a target price below market, it filled automatically while I was sleeping. No CEX account needed."

Multi-Product User
★★★★☆

"Use swaps daily, limit orders weekly, and JupSOL has my staked SOL. Have not used perps yet — the liquidation risk seems high for my style. But the breadth of Jupiter is impressive."
