Solana’s leading decentralized exchange aggregator, Jupiter, has launched Ultra v3, describing it as the most advanced trading engine in the crypto market. The upgrade, according to Jupiter, improves on performance, enhances security and reduces costs throughout its trading ecosystem.

With ultra v3, the protection of the sandwich increases 34 times and the execution cost is reduced up to ten times. It also reduces slippage so as to have more accurate order execution on the mobile and desktop platform. These improvements strengthen the effort of Jupiter to fine-tune the effectiveness of decentralized trading.

Revolutionary Routing and Smarter Execution

One of the most important features of Ultra v3 is Iris, the new routing system on the platform that will search the optimal prices on various exchanges, including JupiterZ, DFlow, Hashflow, and OKX. Request for Quote system, JupiterZ, which trades at a volume of approximately $100 million per day, has switched to Ultra v3, and zero-slip trades are now possible.

Ultra v3 introduces a 34x improvement in sandwich protection and slashes execution fees by up to ten times. The system makes it less likely to slip and offer closer quotations, and this comes through real-time simulations, making it present traders with quicker and more accurate results.

Enhanced Protection and Expanded Gasless Trading

Ultra v3 combines the private transaction engine, ShadowLane, of Jupiter to provide sub-second execution and secure users against Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) attacks. Jupiter stressed that unlike in competitors, who provide order flow to third party MEV searchers, Ultra v3 retains transactions internally to prevent users of the platform being exploited by the trading activities.

Furthermore, the upgrade extends Jupiter Gasless Support that grants its users the ability to make trades without SOL to pay transaction fees. The automatic gas deduction is a protocol that automatically subtracts the costs of gas on the swap to Token-2022 and memecoin pairs. The trade limit has been reduced to the minimum of 10 dollars and this has made trading to more users.

Broader Integration and Industry Impact

Ultra v3 has now been completely integrated in the Jupiter product range that incorporates both mobile and desktop applications, API, as well as Pro Tools. Such a broad release is an indicator of a new standard of decentralized trading on Solana, featuring innovative technology, reduced costs, and increased security of users on a single platform.
