Jupiter Launches Ultra V3: Revolutionizing Solana Trading with Advanced Features
Singapore, Singapore – October 20th, 2025 – Jupiter, a premier liquidity aggregator on the Solana blockchain , today announced the release of Ultra V3. This comprehensive trading engine is designed to elevate the decentralized finance (DeFi) experience, incorporating three proprietary technologies: the Iris router, ShadowLane transaction landing, and Predictive Execution.
Ultra V3 aims to deliver substantial improvements across key trading metrics, setting new benchmarks for user value in the DeFi space.
Unprecedented Value in Trading Execution
Ultra V3 focuses on enhancing user experience through advancements in pricing, execution, and protection. The engine is engineered to provide users with superior results across critical trading dimensions.
- Competitive Pricing: Achieved through meta-aggregation powered by Iris, Jupiter’s novel router. Iris utilizes advanced algorithms, including Golden-section and Brent’s method, to deliver performance improvements up to 100x.
- Optimized Trade Execution: This is facilitated by ShadowLane, Jupiter’s in-house transaction landing engine. It significantly reduces latency from 1-3 blocks down to 0-1 block. Predictive Execution further refines this by prioritizing routes based on real-time on-chain conditions rather than theoretical quotes.
- Enhanced Protection: Users benefit from industry-leading defenses against sandwich attacks and exceptionally accurate slippage estimation.
Measurable Performance Improvements for Traders
The architectural innovations within Ultra V3 translate into tangible benefits for traders:
- A 34-fold increase in sandwich attack protection when compared to other leading trading terminals within the top 5.
- An average positive slippage of 0.6 basis points (bps), a significant improvement over the typical negative slippage (-1bps to -14bps) seen on other platforms.
- Execution fees that are 8–10 times lower than those charged by comparable platforms.
“Most platforms present optimistic quotes that don’t accurately reflect the on-chain reality,” stated Siong, co-founder of Jupiter. “Ultra V3’s Predictive Execution ensures you receive what you actually get upon execution, not just what appeared favorable during quotation. Every swap is executed precisely as promised – in the most efficient manner and at the best available price, every single time.”
Exclusive Technologies Powering Ultra V3
The performance leap of Ultra V3 is attributed to several groundbreaking technologies developed in-house by Jupiter.
Iris Router: Precision Meta-Aggregation
Jupiter’s new routing engine, Iris, is exclusive to Ultra V3. It enables trade splits with a precision as fine as 0.01%. Combined with JupiterZ, the platform’s proprietary Request for Quotation (RFQ) system that facilitates approximately $100 million in daily zero-slippage volume, and meta-aggregation across platforms like DFlow, Hashflow, and OKX, Iris guarantees users access to the most competitive pricing available.
ShadowLane: Ultra-Low Latency Transaction Landing
ShadowLane is an entirely new, in-house transaction landing engine developed by Jupiter. It achieves sub-second precision while maintaining complete user privacy. By operating without external relays or order-flow sales, ShadowLane successfully lands three times more trades compared to alternative premium methods. This engine was built by Jupiter’s recently formed RPC team, which includes contributors to major projects like Yellowstone-gRPC, NFT DAS API, Lite-RPC, and Agave, marking a significant infrastructure upgrade for Solana trading.
Predictive Execution: Real-World Trade Simulation
Instead of relying on theoretical quotes, Predictive Execution conducts just-in-time simulations for every potential trading route. This allows for accurate prediction of slippage and intelligent prioritization of routes to achieve optimal outcomes. A key component, Ultra Signaling, enables Protocol-Controlled Market Makers (AMM) to offer up to 3bps tighter spreads (a 50% improvement) for verified non-toxic Jupiter Ultra users, distinguishing them from toxic flow such as arbitrage bots.
Real-Time Slippage Estimator (RTSE)
The Real-Time Slippage Estimator (RTSE), developed over two years, automatically calibrates optimal slippage parameters by analyzing trading volume, historical volatility, and transaction patterns. The V3 iteration introduces reduced slippage settings while maintaining high success rates, automatically prioritizes routes offering slippage protection, and enhances sensitivity to volatility for traditionally volatile tokens.
Revolutionary MEV Protection
Unlike other services that increase sandwich attack risks by selling order flow to third-party MEV searchers, Ultra V3 adopts a counter-approach. By ensuring trades are never handed off to external entities for on-chain execution, Ultra minimizes exposure to malicious MEV activities. While risk cannot be entirely eliminated due to validators broadcasting to chain leaders, Ultra drastically reduces it to the closest technically feasible point to zero.
Expanded Feature Set for Advanced Traders
Ultra V3 incorporates extensive improvements designed to address the edge cases critical for professional traders:
Enhanced Gasless Support
The gasless trading feature has been expanded to include Token-2022 standards and memecoin-to-memecoin pairs, with minimum trade sizes as low as $10. This means users can now trade virtually any asset without needing to hold SOL for transaction fees.
Just-In-Time Market Revival
Ultra V3 is capable of routing every token on Solana, including those from defunct or forgotten markets, without a minimum liquidity threshold. The system dynamically re-indexes these markets on demand, providing comprehensive ecosystem coverage that legacy routers often miss.
Native Integration Across Platforms
The Ultra V3 engine powers Jupiter’s three distinct user interfaces, ensuring a consistent and seamless trading experience: Web, offering the full suite of DeFi products; Mobile, providing an enhanced mobile trading experience with native portfolio and profit & loss tracking; and Desktop Wallet, an advanced browser extension featuring gasless trading and significantly reduced fees.
Pro Tools Integration
Ultra V3 is deeply integrated with Jupiter’s professional trading suite, which includes Terminal (a command center for token metrics), Screener (for market discovery), Portfolio + PnL (for comprehensive financial visibility), Alphascan (for trending tokens and insights), and Analytics (for detailed transaction and trader data).
Ultra API for Developers
Developers can now leverage the same robust infrastructure that powers Jupiter through the Ultra API. This API provides endpoints for managing balances, searching for tokens, and executing transfers. Jupiter handles all the complexities of RPC and infrastructure maintenance, allowing developers to concentrate on their application development while Jupiter ensures efficient execution.
Transitioning from Legacy Jupiter
Jupiter will be focusing its development efforts on Ultra V3 and the new Iris router moving forward. The company is actively rolling out the Ultra API to provide partners with access to optimized routing and transaction landing infrastructure. Many meta routers currently using the now-deprecated Jupiter Legacy API (Metis) are expected to migrate to the Ultra API. Jupiter encourages platforms utilizing the Legacy API to clearly label their integrations to prevent users from being misled about pricing sources.
“Ultra V3 has been meticulously crafted for our community,” Siong remarked. “It is designed for ease of use with zero configuration required, and for peace of mind with the lowest fees and best protection. It integrates seamlessly with our Pro tools and offers native experiences on Mobile, Web, API, and Desktop. Every feature we build is infused with dedication from a team committed to perfecting your trading experience.”
Ultra V3 is now accessible across all Jupiter platforms, enhancing the trading experience for Solana users.
