Solana's largest perpetuals venue by liquidity, holding $715m in a pooled model where depositors take the other side of trader flow.

Our assessment

Jupiter's perpetual exchange holds $715m — four times more than any other perp venue in this comparison — and scores 5.0. The distance between those two numbers is the point of publishing evidence-based scores at all.

Depth without published review

$715m makes this the venue where large positions can actually be executed on Solana, and depth is what a perp trader is buying. It also means the largest concentration of capital in this category sits behind contracts with no audit report retrievable at a public address. Size raises the value of an exploit rather than reducing its likelihood.

The pool is the counterparty

Liquidity providers deposit into a pool that takes the other side of trader positions and earns fees and trader losses in return. As with every design of this kind, the deposit is a short-volatility position in one venue's order flow rather than a yield product, and a period of sustained trader profitability is a period of provider losses.

Why the score sits where it does

Counterparty and contract evidence carries 30% and transparency another 15%. Strong market quality cannot offset near-empty results on both. If the audits exist and were published at stable addresses, this protocol would move up the table immediately without changing a line of code.

Who it suits

Jupiter Perps fits Solana traders who need real depth and have formed their own view of unaudited contracts. Traders who want published review at smaller size should compare Pacifica, GMTrade or GMX.

Frequently asked

Does this score mean Jupiter Perpetual Exchange is safe to use?

No. It measures what an outsider can verify: linked audits, published documentation and independently recorded market data. Contract behaviour is not tested by us.

Where does the TVL figure come from?

An independent public analytics platform, queried at the verification date. Anyone can re-run the same query.

Why do some protocols score zero on audits?

Because no audit report is linked in the public dataset. It records what a user can reach, not a claim that no audit was ever performed.
