Key Highlights
- Jupiter has launched Forecast, a Solana-native prediction market built into Jupiter Predict.
- Users get better prices because multiple market makers compete, and Jupiter automatically picks the best quote to reduce slippage.
- Forecast will start with 15-minute crypto prediction markets and expand later, while still supporting Polymarket alongside it.
Jupiter, the Solana-based decentralized finance (DeFi) liquidity aggregator, has launched Forecast, a new prediction market product built natively on the Solana blockchain.
In an X post on Thursday, the company said Forecast is part of Jupiter Predict and is designed to change how people trade predictions on future events by improving price quality and execution speed through stronger competition between market makers.
How Forecast works
Unlike traditional prediction markets that rely on a single liquidity pool, Forecast allows users to trade against multiple market makers simultaneously through a system known as Prop AMMs.
Each one can quote a price for a prediction market, and they compete with each other. Jupiter’s system then checks all the quotes and automatically gives the user the best price available. Jupiter said this will help users get better deals without needing to search or choose manually. It also helps reduce slippage, especially on bigger trades.
Moreover, the company clarified that Forecast is not replacing any existing prediction platforms. It stated that it will continue to work with platforms like Polymarket and will still support Polymarket markets inside its app.
“Forecast simply offers an additional type of market liquidity that users can take advantage of,” he said.
In addition, each market launched under Forecast will come with its own native token. Jupiter explained that tokens are meant to make the system easier to connect with other apps on Solana. The structure also increases composability, which simply means different apps and tools in the ecosystem can work together more easily.
Starting with 15-minute markets
According to the announcement, Forecast will initially launch with 15-minute crypto prediction markets. Jupiter plans to expand into more types of prediction markets over time. The company has also invited market makers to join and provide quotes.
Jupiter Predict already runs fully on-chain on Solana. Users place binary yes or no positions, which are matched through a keeper network. Funds are stored safely in escrow and settled using JupUSD, which is Jupiter’s stablecoin. The platform has already seen real usage, with more than $5.3 million in trading volume in April 2026 and about $17 million in total volume so far.
The idea behind Forecast builds on something Jupiter already did in spot trading. In those markets, Prop AMMs helped improve prices by competing with each other. When more makers compete, spreads become tighter and users get better execution. Forecast takes that same idea and applies it to prediction markets for the first time on Solana.
Expansion of Jupiter’s prediction market strategy
Jupiter has been actively supporting prediction markets. In October 2025, the company launched a beta using Kalshi and later added Polymarket integration in February 2026. Forecast is different because it is fully native to Solana and focuses on on-chain tokens for each market instead of relying on outside systems.
However, Jupiter has not yet shared some key details like the exact launch date, fee details, or full requirements for market makers. For now, Forecast will begin with crypto-focused short-term markets and will grow step by step as more makers join and liquidity builds.
