- Jupiter Exchange integrates Chainlink Data Streams to deliver real-time pricing and reduce frontrunning in its perpetual trading markets.
- The integration marks a broader effort to enhance trust, speed, and decentralization across its DeFi trading ecosystem.
Imagine if you were trading derivatives in the middle of crazy market volatility. Speed and price accuracy are everything. If you are one second late, the potential loss can explode immediately. Well, that is the main reason why Jupiter Exchange finally decided to integrate Chainlink Data Streams into their perpetual market.

A New Weapon for Jupiter in the On-Chain Derivatives Battle
This new technology from Chainlink allows price data to be pulled directly with super low latency. This means that users can see prices in near real-time—not data sent every few seconds like in traditional oracles. Even more interesting, Jupiter also implements a commit-and-reveal system to prevent frontrunning, a kind of ‘peeking’ at prices before someone else executes an order.
Behind all this sophistication, this step is actually part of a broader strategy. Jupiter seems to be getting serious about strengthening its position in the DeFi ecosystem. This integration seems to be a new foundation that they are using to compete in the on-chain derivatives market—which has so far been avoided by many users because it is considered less stable.
Building Trust, Tools, and a Friendlier Crypto Onboarding Path
However, this is not their only breakthrough lately. On May 18, 2025, Jupiter announced that it had acquired a majority stake in Moonshot, a mobile platform that focuses on buying and selling memecoins. This movement clearly shows that Jupiter is also starting to look at a more retail and lightweight market, outside the more complex derivatives world.
Furthermore, they have also just launched the ‘Universal Send’ feature. The function is simple, but the impact is big: send SOL, USDC, or even memecoins to anyone, including those who don’t have a crypto wallet. Imagine you want to give a token gift to a friend who doesn’t understand crypto – just send it, and he can claim it anytime. No hassle.
Meanwhile, Jupiter has also started building a technical foundation for the long term through a project called JupNet, an omnichain network aimed at improving connectivity between blockchains. This plan includes a cross-chain ledger, a decentralized identity system, and strengthening the performance of the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM).
On the other hand, CNF previously reported that Jupiter also introduced a VERIFIED badge system for tokens circulating on their platform. There are four types of verification such as Blue Chip, Social ID, and C.A.T. reports. The goal is clear: to reduce the potential for scams and provide clarity to users about which tokens can be trusted.
As a complement, Jupiter DAO has also released a case study as a guide for anyone who wants to apply for a grant. This document is not just a formality, but can really help users understand the process more clearly—especially about what criteria the community considers the most.
Meanwhile, as of press time, JUP is trading at about $0.4909, up 3.50% over the last 24 hours. It is driving its market cap to surpass the $1.40 billion mark.
