Jupiter Unveils Ultra v3, Promising the Best Trade Execution on Solana

Crypto trading has grown so much that platforms need to innovate to stay in the race. Everyone seeks to attract users with more speed, security, and profitability. It is within this logic that Solana has released its latest weapon: Jupiter Ultra v3. A major update that could reshuffle the cards in the decentralized exchange universe. What if behind this new engine simply lies the future of trading on Solana?

Ultra v3: Solana shifts into high gear on DeFi

The Solana blockchain seems determined not to leave anything to chance. With the Ultra v3 update of its decentralized aggregator Jupiter (issuer of the crypto JUP ), it hits hard. The numbers speak for themselves: protection against sandwich attacks 34 times more effective, execution fees 8 to 10 times lower than the market average, and a user experience revamped for all interfaces.

But that’s not all. The introduction of the new Iris router positions Jupiter as a true “meta-aggregator.” Able to compare prices across different platforms, it guarantees the best available rate at any moment.

Another major innovation: ShadowLane, the internal execution engine designed for private and ultra-fast transactions. Jupiter claims this engine reduces transaction latency to 50–400 milliseconds, compared to 1 second previously.

On X, the team is clear:

Ultra v3 Is Built for YOU. Use easily: Zero config or adjustments needed for the best execution. Use without worries: Lowest fees possible, best protection, best-in-class transaction landing, unmatched customer service.

Solana: Jupiter challenges other platforms with unprecedented execution precision

Behind the numbers lies a clear ambition: to provide a flawless exchange experience, even in the most volatile markets. The concept of “Predictive Execution” changes the game: the engine doesn’t just simulate routes, it anticipates price slippage and intelligently prioritizes the safest paths.

This cuts the ground from under the feet of dubious practices from other platforms. “Most platforms “catfish” you with prices that don’t reflect the on-chain reality, or worse yet, mislead you into thinking they are showing the best price from Jupiter,” writes Jupiter. 

Result: fewer bad surprises at execution, tighter rates, and greater control for the user. Even better, the integration of the Ultra signal allows professional market makers to offer prices 50% more competitive to Ultra users.

Facing platforms like Uniswap or PancakeSwap, Jupiter sets a new standard, notably thanks to its Ultra API. Moreover, several former partners are already invited to migrate from the old “Legacy” version to this new system.

Crypto, without gas, without friction, without limits?

Ultra v3 doesn’t stop at performance. It also aims to make crypto trading more accessible, notably thanks to its “Gasless Support” feature. Concretely, no need to have SOL in your wallet to pay network fees. One token is enough, and fees are automatically deducted from the transaction.

Another strong point: extensive compatibility with Token-2022 and memecoin pairs, opening the door to trading the most popular… and most volatile assets.

Finally, Ultra v3 covers the entire Solana ecosystem , including forgotten or inactive markets. A technical feat that greatly expands possibilities for seasoned traders.

Key points to remember

• 34x more anti-sandwich protection than the platform average;
• 8 to 10 times lower execution fees on all swaps;
• 0 SOL required for fees, thanks to Gasless Trading;
• Compatible with memecoins and Token-2022 tokens, from $10 transactions.

With Ultra v3, Solana steps up its game and places Jupiter among the most comprehensive crypto trading tools of the moment. On their side, other giants in the sector do not stand idly by. Kraken, for example, marks a turning point with the strategic acquisition of Breakout , a decisive step toward an even more competitive crypto future.
