Jupiter launched Lend v2 on Solana this week, introducing a feature called Smart Vaults that lets the same deposited or borrowed dollar earn both lending interest and a share of swap fees simultaneously.
The release is built on infrastructure from Fluid under a 50/50 revenue-sharing partnership, and it's live now on Jupiter's platform

Jupiter-Lend v2 went live with Smart-Vaults as its centerpiece feature.
In a standard vault, collateral earns supply APY, and debt accrues borrow APY, and nothing else.
Smart-Vaults add a third income stream: the position also serves as liquidity for Jupiter AMM, and trading fees from swaps routed through it flow back to the user.
Jupiter calls this "Dual Stream Liquidity," one deposit, two yields, shown in the interface as trading APR.
The feature is strictly opt-in per position; standard Earn, Borrow, and Multiply positions continue to work exactly as before, with zero exposure to the AMM layer.
Until now, collateral sitting in a lending vault only earned interest, and borrowed debt only cost interest. Jupiter Lend v2 changes that math for users willing to opt in, letting deposits and loans double as active trading liquidity rather than sitting idle. That's a meaningful shift for how capital efficiency works on Solana Defi lending markets, and it's the core reason Jupiter-Lend v2 is drawing attention this week, since the same dollar can now be doing two jobs instead of one.
Smart-Collateral lets users deposit a token pair, such as USDC/USDT or JupSOL/SOL, that the protocol composes into pooled liquidity automatically. Deposits can be made in one asset or both, and withdrawals work the same way. A smart collateral position can stack lending yield (supply APY), native yield where applicable (like staking rewards), and trading fees (trading APR).
Smart-Debt applies the same idea to borrowing. Instead of a single-asset loan, users borrow a token pair, and that debt also acts as AMM liquidity. Swap fees routed through the pool flow back to offset the borrow APY, appearing as a negative trading APR on the debt side. In short bursts of high trading volume, this fee flow can even exceed the borrow cost, briefly flipping it in the borrower's favor, though Jupiter's documentation notes this isn't something to count on since fees move with volume while borrow rates track utilization.
Smart-Vaults aren't a from-scratch build.
Fluid, the protocol whose Smart Collateral and Smart Debt primitives already run production lending markets elsewhere, supplies the infrastructure under this release.
The arrangement splits things simply: Fluid provides the engine, Jupiter drives distribution, and the two share revenue 50/50.
This partnership context matters for anyone evaluating Jupiter Lend v2, since the underlying liquidation engine and AMM mechanics are the same ones already running on Fluid elsewhere.
Because Smart-Vault debt and collateral are pairs rather than single tokens, the ratio between the two assets can drift as traders swap through the pool.
Borrow $1,000 USDC and $1,000 USDT today, and a user might owe $800 USDC and $1,200 USDT later; the asset composition can change as traders swap through the pool, while the position’s overall value can also fluctuate with market conditions. At launch in August 2026, Jupiter AMM only supports correlated pairs, so this composition risk stays comparatively small for now.
Trading fee income is variable and not guaranteed, and Smart-Vaults still carry Jupiter Lend's standard risks: smart contract, oracle, market, liquidity, and liquidation exposure, plus the added contract surface that comes from running AMM logic on top of a lending position.
