Summary

Jupiter Exchange has launched Metis V8, the latest version of its DeFi (decentralized finance services) routing engine, with a stated focus on reducing quotation execution drift, the gap between a quoted trade and its final execution. According to the announcement, the upgrade uses slippage penalties, just-in-time onchain finalization, sub-2-slot latency, and a rapid quotation mode. In decentralized trading, routing engines are designed to find efficient paths across liquidity sources, so improvements in latency and execution quality can help traders receive prices closer to quoted levels.

Terms & Concepts
  • DeFi: Short for decentralized finance, a set of blockchain-based financial services that operate without traditional intermediaries.
  • Slippage: The difference between the expected trade price and the final executed price, often caused by volatility or limited liquidity.
  • Onchain finalization: The process of confirming and completing a transaction on a blockchain so the trade result is recorded onchain.
