Jupiter, the largest decentralized exchange aggregator by trading volume, today announced a new developer tool, the Express Verification API for Jupiter VRFD.
The Validation API allows Launchpad, DEX, and AI agents to integrate validation into their token creation flows, allowing them to validate tokens programmatically.
The three-step API flow involves a developer creating and signing a Solana transaction that burns 1,000. $JUPthen sends a validation request with token metadata updates in a single call. Validation and metadata updates are independently reviewed as described in the Jupiter documentation. This means that metadata changes may occur even if your validation request is denied. You can also repeat the sending if necessary.
API call transactions do not require gas. This means developers do not need SOL to pay transaction fees and only need to have at least $1,000 in their wallet. $JUP To submit a request, please refer to the documentation.
Jupiter positions VRFD as the standard plumbing for any project launched in Solana. This is a timely move given the growing scrutiny of the role of private closed-source AMMs, which route an increasingly large share of Jupiter’s volume.
This launch expands Jupiter’s infrastructure role beyond pure trading. According to DefiLlama, the Solana-based protocol is the world’s largest DEX aggregator both on a weekly (~$2 billion) and 30-day basis (~$12 billion). KyberSwap, which operates on 23 chains, currently outperforms Jupiter on the daily time frame, earning approximately $444 million in the past 24 hours.
Jupiter currently holds a total value of $1.7 billion. In August, Jupiter Lend collected $500 million in TVL in one day after its beta debut, but that figure has nearly doubled to approximately $934 million at the time of writing.
$JUP is currently trading around $0.16, down more than 90% from its all-time high in early 2024.
