Solana decentralized exchange (DEX) Jupiter has acquired SolanaFM, a blockchain explorer, and Coinhall, a multichain transaction terminal.
Jupiter, which has an active governance community and the most significant trading volume on Solana at over $313 billion, regards these acquisitions as a critical step in pursuing a tenfold increase in its DEX services.
SolanaFM, which stands out for its user-friendly explorer and comprehensive data indexing services, enhances Jupiter’s strategies. According to Jupiter’s X post from September 20, “No one is better than an explorer to 10x our data and infrastructure capabilities.”
The acquisition will not affect the operations of SolanaFM, which will continue to operate as usual and offer its services to the Solana community.
A Meme Coin Trading Hub
Jupiter also disclosed the acquisition of Coinhall, which provides services to more than 225,000 users across 23 blockchain networks. Coinhall will contribute its expertise in real-time infrastructure, pro-trading terminals, and cross-chain functionality to Jupiter as part of the acquisition.
Coinhall will also incorporate its current Solana functionalities into Jupiter’s products, further augmenting the platform’s capabilities.
Jupiter and Coinhall also collaborated to introduce the Ape’s Pro trading terminal, which was expressly engineered for meme coin trading.
For traders to make well-informed decisions, the platform will provide them with real-time streaming of new tokens, data, and statistics. Additionally, dynamic Jito fees and MEV protection can provide traders with the advantage of expedited transaction execution.
Jupiter Announces New Features and Mobile App for Solana Breakpoint
Jupiter made several announcements at the Solana Breakpoint conference in Singapore, which coincided with the acquisitions.
Jupiter intends to introduce the Jupiter Mobile application shortly to attract millions of new users to the Solana ecosystem.
Users can acquire Solana (SOL) using familiar payment methods such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, or credit cards, and there will be no fees associated with this application.
The decentralized exchange will also provide a one-tap trade feature, simplifying the cryptocurrency purchasing process for users.
Solana’s forthcoming mobile device, the Solana Seeker, is anticipated to incorporate Jupiter Mobile. The Solana Seeker, set to be released in 2025, will include artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities that enable users to generate tokenized AI agents to engage in on-chain interactions.
Jupiter also introduced Perps v2, which boasts a variety of new capabilities. Limit orders are one feature that enables traders to establish precise purchase or sell prices.
Jupiter also implemented the Dove Oracle standard, which guarantees dependable price feeds by employing chaos pricing data and Pyth as a fallback Oracle.
Ultimately, Solana’s DEX implemented gasless transactions, enabling keepers to manage transaction fees, enhancing the trading experience, and facilitating quicker execution.
According to DappRadar data, Jupiter has grown significantly over the past week. Transaction activity remained relatively stable at 9.52 million (-4.5%), while the platform’s unique active wallets (UAWs) and trading volume increased considerably to 874.7k (+84.5%) and $108.1 million (+97.4%), respectively.
Jupiter’s native token, JUP, has also experienced a substantial increase. JUP has experienced an 11.2% increase in value over the past 24 hours, reaching a price of $0.8762.
