Where liquidity lives

PLATFORM 6 · SOLANA SWAP NETWORK
Your swap doesn't take one train.
It takes the whole network.
Aggregators split a single order across many pools and hop through intermediate tokens to find more output. RouteCraft asks Jupiter for a live quote and draws the journey as a transit map — every line, every interchange, every split.

Line 1 · The planner
Plan a route
Type a token symbol or paste a mint address. RouteCraft fetches a live Jupiter quote and draws what the router would do right now. Nothing is signed or sent.

Line 2 · How it works
From ticket to map in four stops
- Resolve the tokens
Symbols are looked up with Jupiter's token search (verified tokens preferred), giving each mint's address and decimals so "10 SOL" becomes 10,000,000,000 lamports.
- Ask for a quote
Your browser calls Jupiter's public quote endpoint with the amount and slippage. The answer lists every leg: venue, pool address, input and output amounts, and what share of the tokens at that station take that line.
- Build the network
RouteCraft turns legs into a graph: tokens are stations, pools are lines. It works out how much of your original order flows through each line, then lays the stations out left to right by hop.
- Draw & compare
Line thickness is the share of your order. Optionally a second quote restricted to direct (single-pool) routes shows what all the splitting and hopping earns you.
Line 3 · Uses
What a route map tells you
Size changes the route
Run the size sweep: small orders often go through one pool, large ones fan out over many lines and through USDC or SOL.
Price impact in context
Impact is shown next to the route that causes it, so you can see whether a big number comes from a thin hop.
Value of aggregation
The direct-only comparison puts a number on what routing across venues earns versus the best single pool.

How Solana swap routing actually works
Why one order becomes many
Every AMM pool prices along a curve: the more you buy from it, the worse the next unit gets. An aggregator such as Jupiter compares many pools at once and splits your order so that the last unit filled in each pool costs about the same. Two pools of similar depth will usually each take about half; a deep pool next to a shallow one takes most of the flow. That split is the "percent" you see on each line.
Why routes hop through USDC or SOL
The deepest markets on Solana are against SOL and USDC. Swapping JUP to WIF directly may only have a thin pool, but JUP→USDC and USDC→SOL→WIF can each be very deep. A multi-hop route trades a little extra fee per hop for much less price impact. Each intermediate token is an interchange station on the map.
Reading the percentages
In a Jupiter quote, each leg's percent is the share of the tokens sitting at that leg's input station, not of your original order. If 6% of your SOL goes to USDT and 100% of that USDT goes on to USDC, the second leg carries 100% of a 6% slice. RouteCraft multiplies these through so line thickness shows share of the whole order.
Price impact vs. slippage
Price impact is how much worse your quoted rate is than the current market price, caused by your own order moving the curves. Slippage tolerance is a safety limit you choose: if the price moves against you between quote and execution by more than that, the transaction fails instead of filling. The quote's otherAmountThreshold is the minimum output after applying slippage.
Who the venues are
Labels in a route are Jupiter's names for on-chain programs. Some are classic constant-product AMMs (Raydium AMM and CPMM, PumpSwap), some concentrated-liquidity (Orca Whirlpool, Raydium CLMM), some bin-based (Meteora DLMM). Many of the newer high-volume labels are proprietary AMMs operated by market makers, which update their quotes from off-chain prices every slot. All are just programs holding reserves — RouteCraft shows the pool address so you can check each one.
Quotes are snapshots
A quote is computed from pool states at a specific slot (shown as contextSlot). Solana produces a new slot roughly every 400 ms, so the same request a few seconds later can return a different split. That's normal — the router is chasing a moving target.
Line 5 · Questions
Frequently asked
Can I execute the swap here?
No. RouteCraft is read-only. There's no wallet connection and nothing is signed. Use the quote as information and swap wherever you normally do.
Is this the exact route my wallet will use?
It's the route Jupiter's public quote API returns at that moment for those parameters. Wallets and apps may use different settings (excluded venues, platform fees, different slippage), and routes change every few seconds.
Why does the direct-only route sometimes fail?
Some pairs have no single pool connecting them (for example two small tokens that each trade only against SOL). Jupiter then answers "no route", which RouteCraft shows as "no direct line".
Where are the fees per hop?
Pool fees are already taken out of each leg's output amount. When Jupiter's response includes an explicit fee field RouteCraft shows it; otherwise the implied rate per leg already includes the fee.
Why is my price impact negative or zero?
For very liquid pairs and small sizes impact can round to zero, and occasionally a route finds a rate slightly better than the reference price, which shows as a tiny negative impact.
What does the size sweep do?
It asks for quotes at 1%, 10%, 100% and 1,000% of your amount (four requests, spaced out) and shows how output per unit, impact and the number of venues change with size.
Do you store what I search?
No. There's no backend. Requests go straight from your browser to Jupiter's public API.
Limits & honesty
- Source: Jupiter's public lite API (quote, token search, price). No other routers are compared.
- Snapshot only: a quote reflects one slot. Real execution can differ due to price movement, competing trades and slippage settings.
- No fees beyond the pools: network fees, priority fees and any app/platform fees are not included in the output shown.
- Rate limits: RouteCraft makes 1–2 quote requests per route (4 more for a size sweep) and waits between them. If Jupiter rate-limits you, wait a few seconds and retry.
- Token resolution: symbols are ambiguous — many tokens share a ticker. RouteCraft prefers verified tokens; paste the mint address to be certain.
