TVL figures: DefiLlama, parent-level listing. The July 27, 2026 TVL was an analyst estimate and may have used a narrower definition, so part of the TVL difference can be definitional. Only these three inputs were refreshed in the re-screen; sustainability, unlocks, risk, audits, team, delivery, governance, category share and momentum were left as the July 27, 2026 estimates.

Axis I · Credit Grade

Solvency — A

Solvency screens at A (71 / 100), previously BBB in the July 27, 2026 screen. The worst 90-day TVL drawdown is 25% and 12-month TVL change is -30%. TVL stability is scored on the 12-month decline of 30%, because it is worse than the latest 90 days. Sustainability ratio (4x), unlock pressure (8%) and risk quality (7 / 10) are carried over from July 27, 2026.

Axis II · Legitimacy Score

Legitimacy — A

Legitimacy screens at A (73 / 100). No Legitimacy input was refreshed in the November 12, 2026 re-screen, so the grade is unchanged from July 27, 2026.

Growth screens at BB (59.8 / 100), unchanged from the July 27, 2026 screen. TVL is $1.6B, -30% over twelve months (it was -40% at the previous screen). Category share (60%) and momentum (6 / 10) are carried over from July 27, 2026.

Verdict

Where Jupiter Lands

The credit grade is Solvency A. Legitimacy is A and the Growth outlook is BB; the weakest axis is Growth. These grades use TVL data as of November 12, 2026 and qualitative inputs from July 27, 2026.

Credit Grade — Solvency
A
71 / 100

The credit grade answers one question: can Jupiter survive stress and pay its users back. Legitimacy (A) and the Growth outlook (BB) are published beside it and are never averaged into it. Weakest axis: Growth.

Analyst Note
Solana super-app ambition; strong fees; JUP unlocks ongoing.
Screen vs full rating. This is Methodology v1.1 applied in screening form: the same bands, weights, caps and grade scale as the full Aave workbook (with the v1.1 change to TVL stability described above), reduced to the highest-signal metrics per dimension so the whole universe stays comparable in one table. Screen grades are provisional. A full rating — per-metric sourcing plus four stress scenarios — is produced when a protocol is selected for publication. TVL, 12-month TVL change and 90-day drawdown are from DefiLlama, parent-level listing as of November 12, 2026; every other input is an analyst estimate as of July 27, 2026, drawn from public data (DefiLlama, protocol docs, governance forums, rekt.news) and judgment, and should be verified before being relied upon.
Jupiter is the only DEX Aggregator protocol in the current coverage universe. Compare it against all rated protocols.

Analyst Commentary · July 27, 2026

Background From The Previous Screen

Dated commentary. Written for the July 27, 2026 screen under Methodology v1.0. Figures and grades quoted in it are as of that date. Where they differ from the scorecards above, the scorecards are current.

Overview

Jupiter is Solana's liquidity front door — the aggregator through which the majority of the chain's swap flow routes — and it is spending that position aggressively to become a super-app: perps, launchpad, mobile, and portfolio products all shipped within the snapshot window.

Solvency

Solvency screens at BBB. Fee generation is genuinely strong (~4x sustainability) because aggregation and perps monetize volume regardless of TVL, but the 45% drawdown and ongoing ~8% JUP unlocks weigh on the screen. Risk posture is reasonable; the aggregator surface is inherently wide, touching every venue it routes through.

Legitimacy

Legitimacy screens at A on the strength of team and delivery — the shipping cadence is among the best in DeFi, and community communication is unusually direct. Audit depth (7/10) trails the expanding product surface, and governance, despite active JUP voting, still concentrates practical control with the core team.

Growth

Growth screens at BB: commanding 60% category share and fair momentum against a 40% twelve-month TVL decline that tracks Solana's cycle. The super-app strategy is an attempt to buy uncorrelated growth; the screen scores its progress, not its ambition.

Verdict

Composite BB. Strong operator, honest chain-beta, live dilution. The full-rating question is whether fee diversity across the product suite can outgrow the unlock schedule.
