Is Jupiter safe to use?
Jupiter receives a C+ risk grade (37/100) from Hindenrank, where lower scores indicate lower risk. Moderate risk — Solana's most-used trading platform, but its expanding product suite multiplies the attack surface Solana's dominant trading hub that finds you the best swap prices across dozens of exchanges, plus perpetual futures, lending, and a stablecoin. It manages $1.1B in assets and has raised $35M. Its C+ grade reflects the sheer number of products sharing one codebase -- a vulnerability in any one piece could cascade across everything.
What are the main risks of using Jupiter?
The key risks identified for Jupiter are: (1) Jupiter runs a swap aggregator, leverage trading, lending, and a stablecoin all in one app. A bug in any one product could compromise the others.
