Jupiter Limit Order
A Jupiter feature allowing traders to set a target price for a token swap to execute automatically.
Definition
Jupiter Limit Orders is a feature of the Jupiter aggregator on Solana that allows traders to specify a target price for a token swap. The order is stored on-chain and executed automatically when the market price reaches the target.
Unlike market orders (which execute immediately at the current price), limit orders allow traders to specify the exact price they want to buy or sell at. If the target price is not reached, the order remains open until cancelled or expired.
Jupiter Limit Orders use on-chain keepers — automated programs that monitor prices and execute orders when conditions are met — removing the need for users to monitor prices manually.
StakePoint & Jupiter Limit Order
Jupiter Limit Orders are part of the broader Jupiter ecosystem that StakePoint integrates for swap functionality. While StakePoint's swap interface uses Jupiter's standard routing, limit orders are available directly through Jupiter's interface.
