This page compares what can actually be verified about each protocol — nobody can tell you which will be worth more, and this page does not try to.

Cryptocurrencies are a highly volatile asset class without the protections of regulated funds: you can lose your entire investment. This comparison is educational content about the technical characteristics of two protocols, not a buy recommendation or a price forecast.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between 1inch and Jupiter?+

1inch (1INCH) launched in 2020, uses — (token sobre Ethereum) and has a maximum supply of 1.500M. Jupiter (JUP) launched in 2024, uses — (token sobre Solana) and has a maximum supply of 7.000M. Beyond the numbers, they were built for different purposes — see the description of each below.

Which one will be worth more?+

Nobody knows, and anyone telling you otherwise is guessing. Crypto prices depend on adoption, regulation, liquidity and sentiment, none of which can be forecast from a protocol's specs. This page deliberately compares only what is verifiable today.

Which has the scarcer supply?+

Both have a hard cap: 1.500M for 1inch and 7.000M for Jupiter. A cap limits future issuance, but it says nothing about demand — and demand is what sets the price.

Do they use the same technology?+

No: 1inch uses — (token sobre Ethereum) and Jupiter uses — (token sobre Solana). The consensus mechanism affects energy use, how the network is secured and how new coins enter circulation.

Should I hold both?+

That is a question about your risk tolerance, not about these two protocols. Crypto is a volatile asset class where you can lose your entire investment, and holding two coins in the same category adds far less diversification than it looks — they tend to move together.
