The DeFi Kingmaker Partnership You Can't Ignore
Jupiter Lend goes live any day, introducing Fluid's lending and borrowing markets to Solana DeFi users

Two of DeFi’s most innovative protocols are joining forces.
Jupiter, best known as the top DEX aggregator and perps trading platform on Solana, is expanding its platform to offer lending and borrowing markets. Jupiter Lend Private Beta went live on August 5th this year, with a phased rollout to introduce high-efficiency lending, vault-based strategies that will be ideal for looping, and a refinancing feature that lets borrowers migrate loans seamlessly over to Jupiter Lend.

Partnering with Jupiter is Fluid, an Ethereum-native hybrid lending, borrowing, and DEX protocol renowned for its high LTVs, low liquidation penalties, and commitment to capital efficiency with what’s known as Smart Collateral and Smart Debt. Having built the most gas-efficient DEX in the market and having flipped Uniswap recently on daily trade volume, Fluid has set new standards for speed, cost, and UX for users on Ethereum, Base, and Arbtirum.
Together, Jupiter and Fluid are crafting a cross-ecosystem partnership that blends Ethereum’s lending innovations with Jupiter’s liquidity depth and distribution, aligned through a 50-50 revenue share agreement for Jupiter Lend.
We dive into this high-stakes collaboration with Jupiter’s Kash Dhanda and Fluid CoFounder Samyak Jain in the latest episode of The Edge Podcast, exploring how the deal came together, what it means for us as DeFi users, and why it could signal a new era of protocol alliances.
