Jupiter DEX Acquires SolanaFM and Coinhall, Introduces Jupiter Mobile

Solana decentralized exchange (DEX) Jupiter has acquired blockchain explorer SolanaFM and multichain trading terminal Coinhall.

Jupiter, boasting the largest trading volume on Solana at over $313 billion and an active governance community, sees these acquisitions as a key step towards a tenfold increase in its DEX services.

SolanaFM, known for its user-friendly explorer and comprehensive data indexing services, complements Jupiter’s plans. “No one is better than an explorer to 10x our data and infrastructure capabilities,” as per Jupiter’s X post from Sept. 20.

We're also proud to acquire @SolanaFM , a native Solana explorer who has been chewing glass for 3 years

Solana Breakpoint: Jupiter Announces Mobile App and New Features

These acquisitions come alongside a series of announcements made by Jupiter at the Solana Breakpoint conference in Singapore.

To onboard millions of new users into the Solana ecosystem , Jupiter plans to launch the Jupiter Mobile app in the coming months. This app will feature zero fees and allow users to purchase Solana ( SOL) using familiar payment methods like Apple Pay, Google Pay, or credit cards. The decentralized exchange will also offer a one-tap swap feature, making it easy for users to buy crypto.

Jupiter Mobile is expected to be integrated into Solana’s upcoming mobile device, the Solana Seeker. Scheduled for release in 2025, the Solana Seeker will boast artificial intelligence ( AI ) features, allowing users to create tokenized AI agents that can interact on-chain.

Solana is the best chain to build cool products & onboard users.

Today's upgrades represent our effort to make Solana a better chain for developers, users, traders, memecoin creators or community members.

In addition, Jupiter introduced Perps v2, which includes several new features. One such feature is limit orders, which allow traders to set specific buy or sell prices.

Finally, Solana’s DEX introduced gasless transactions, where keepers handle transaction fees, resulting in faster execution and an improved trading experience.
