Solana’s leading decentralized exchange aggregator, Jupiter (JUP), has unveiled the third version of its Ultra protocol, dubbed Ultra V3, which the team describes as “the most advanced end-to-end trading engine ever created.”
The new upgrade is designed to deliver three core improvements traders value most: price, execution, and protection.
According to Jupiter, Ultra V3 introduces Meta Aggregation technology that leverages Iris, the platform’s new routing system, to ensure users always receive the best available price across liquidity sources.

For execution, the update includes ShadowLane, a private transaction landing system combined with Predictive Execution, optimizing for both privacy and precision. Jupiter claims this new setup delivers best-in-class performance and significantly reduces slippage.
When it comes to protection, Ultra V3 boasts 34x stronger sandwich protection compared to prior versions, alongside advanced slippage estimation tools that prevent frontrunning and transaction manipulation.
The upgrade has produced measurable results, with Jupiter citing:
- +0.6 bps positive slippage versus competitors’ -1 to -14 bps average
- 8–10x lower execution fees
- Seamless integration across mobile, web, desktop, API, and Pro Tools
Ultra V3 also introduces new features such as enhanced gasless support, Ultra Signaling, and JIT market revivals, aiming to redefine on-chain trading efficiency.
As one of Solana’s largest DEX aggregators, Jupiter continues to expand its dominance in the ecosystem, now setting a new technical benchmark for decentralized trading performance.
