How to Use Jupiter's DEX Aggregator to Your Advantage
Desktop Guide
Jupiter is Solana's premier DEX aggregator. It scours every trading pair available across various decentralized exchanges (DEXes) and routes your trade in a way to maximize how much you receive.
Sometimes, trading USDC -> USDT -> SOL will return you more SOL than just trading USDT -> SOL.
Jupiter will find whatever trade route maximizes your return and execute accordingly.
