Jupiter is an important DeFi aggregator on Solana, aiming to achieve this by aggregating various DeFi functionalities into a single application. Although Jupiter was initially envisioned as a swap engine, the protocol has undergone significant developments, including many different products for various types of users, such as dollar-cost averaging (DCA), limit orders, perpetual trading, and the recent launchpad.
On January 24, 2024, the decentralized Layer 2 derivatives trading protocol Aevo announced on X (formerly Twitter) that it has migrated its L2 solution to the Celestia platform, bringing new explorations to the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. One of the significant outcomes of this collaboration is the substantial economic benefits brought to Aevo by significantly reducing data availability costs, successfully converting these profits into user value. This strategic adjustment not only enhances the profitability of Aevo's exchanges and sorters but also lays a solid foundation for further expanding its DeFi protocol and application ecosystem in the future.
