Jupiter: trading tools rating breakdown
Solana · aggregator
The reference point that makes this whole category legible: an aggregator that routes across every meaningful Solana venue, signs from a wallet you control, and takes no percentage of the trade — the $2.71m it collected over thirty days comes from its own products rather than from a skim on routed swaps. Anyone paying a terminal 1.9% for Solana execution should first know that this exists and is free.

How the score is built
Each criterion is scored 0–10 and weighted. The median column is the middle score across every entry in this ranking, so a row reads as a position rather than a number.

The take rate, computed: 10/10
Thirty days of fees collected divided by thirty days of volume routed, from public data. This is what the tool charges on top of whatever the underlying venue charges, and the spread is enormous: 0.0060% to 1.9287% across the tools measured here, against 0.0506% to 0.6639% at the decentralised exchanges they route into.
Scored 10 of 10 against a category median of 4.5, which places it 1st of 8 among trading tools on this criterion. At a 35% weight that is 1.93 points above the median contribution of the weighted total. The best score in the category is 10, the worst 1.
Who holds the key: 10/10
Whether the tool generates and holds a private key on its own servers — the model almost every messaging-app bot uses — or signs from a wallet you control. A bot that holds the key is a custodian you cannot audit, with no attestation, no licence and no recovery process, and that fact belongs above execution speed in any honest ranking.
Scored 10 of 10 against a category median of 3, which places it 1st of 8 among trading tools on this criterion. At a 25% weight that is 1.75 points above the median contribution of the weighted total. The best score in the category is 10, the worst 2.
Is the fee disclosed before the trade?: 9/10
Whether the tool states its fee plainly in its own documentation and shows it at the point of trade, or buries it in a percentage of an amount the user never sees itemised. We compare what is disclosed against the take rate we computed.
Scored 9 of 10 against a category median of 6, which places it 1st of 8 among trading tools on this criterion. At a 20% weight that is 0.60 points above the median contribution of the weighted total. The best score in the category is 9, the worst 4.
What the routing actually does: 9/10
Documented routing behaviour: which venues it can reach, whether it uses private transaction relays, and what protection it offers against sandwiching. Speed claims that cannot be verified from public data are not scored.
Scored 9 of 10 against a category median of 7.5, which places it 1st of 8 among trading tools on this criterion. At a 12% weight that is 0.18 points above the median contribution of the weighted total. The best score in the category is 9, the worst 6.
Chains and assets: 6/10
Chains supported with real routed volume, from public data at a stated timestamp.
Scored 6 of 10 against a category median of 5, which places it 2nd of 8 among trading tools on this criterion. At a 8% weight that is 0.08 points above the median contribution of the weighted total. The best score in the category is 9, the worst 3.

Questions about this score
Is Jupiter really free?
+
For routed swaps, yes — there is no percentage taken from the trade, and you sign from your own wallet. Jupiter earns from its own products rather than by skimming aggregation. You still pay the underlying venue's fee, the network fee, and price impact, which are costs of the trade itself rather than of the router.
What does Jupiter not do that paid terminals do?
+
Discovery, automation and copy-trading. It routes trades well and does not try to be a terminal: no wallet tracking, no automated sniping, no leaderboards. If those features are what you want, this rating shows what they cost — between roughly 1% and 2% of everything you trade.
