Side-by-side comparison of two perpetual futures exchanges — updated in real time.
Aster and Jupiter Perps offer contrasting experiences: Aster is a feature-rich orderbook DEX with 302 markets on BNB Chain, while Jupiter is a streamlined oracle-based perp platform on Solana focused on major pairs.
Aster's orderbook model delivers 302 markets — including tokenized stocks and commodities — with up to 1001x leverage, 0.01% maker and 0.035% taker fees. Jupiter Perps takes a minimalist approach with just 10 major pairs, oracle-based pricing through the JLP pool, zero maker fees, and a 0.06% taker fee. Jupiter's leverage maxes out at 100x, still high but far below Aster's extreme cap. Jupiter's strength lies in its integration with Solana's largest aggregator, giving it access to millions of existing Solana users. The JLP pool model provides zero-slippage execution on supported pairs within pool capacity. Aster's collateral is limited to USDC, while Jupiter accepts both USDC and SOL. Jupiter's JUP token (40% community allocation) benefits from the broader Jupiter ecosystem, while Aster's ASTER token (53.5% community, YZi Labs-backed) is tied specifically to the trading platform.
Choose Aster if you need access to hundreds of markets, tokenized stocks, or leverage beyond 100x. Choose Jupiter Perps if you prefer a simple, Solana-native trading experience focused on major crypto pairs with oracle-based zero-slippage execution.
