## What Is Jupiter? As a liquidity aggregator on [Solana](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/solana/), Jupiter aggregates the best token prices across different [decentralized exchanges](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-exchange-dex) by connecting all DEX markets and [AMM](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/automated-market-maker-amm) pools together, irrespective of the provider. This smart routing process also compares prices routed through an [intermediary](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/intermediary-middleman) token, which allows the discovery of price inefficiencies and volatility in the markets. Jupiter also dynamically splits trades into smaller trade sizes to get better prices for larger size trades and trades with tokens that have shallow liquidity across several exchanges. Other key features of Jupiter include the automatic listing of new markets as soon as they are launched on Solana, and [token swaps](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/token-swap) in a single transaction without exceeding transaction limits and incurring high [slippage](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/slippage). Users can simply enter the tokens and size they want to trade and the platform calculates all the possible routes for the token trade. Furthermore, its API is a way for developers to access liquidity on Solana: the liquidity is [provided ](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/liquidity-provider-tokens-lp-tokens)as a [wrapped](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-wrapped-ethereum-weth) token, enabling liquid swaps across all tokens, including wrapped versions of other protocol tokens. ## Who Are the Jupiter Founders? Jupiter does not provide any information about its founders. However, the exchange lists a set of partner exchanges and [AMMs](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/automated-market-maker-amm), such as [Saber](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/saber-dex/), [Raydium](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/raydium/), [Serum](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/serum-dex/) and [Penguin Finance](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/penguin-finance/).

However, the integrators can charge a platform fee for token swaps, which will be passed on to traders. ## Is It Possible to Use Leverage or Margin Trade on Jupiter?
