Execution Engines

Three ways to execute your trades. Choose based on speed, MEV protection, or landing rate.

Overview

Every trade in Untaxed Wallet is routed through one of three execution engines. You select the engine from the toggle row above the buy/sell buttons. The choice persists across sidebar refreshes.

Jupiter Ultra (Default)

The simplest and fastest option. Your trade is routed through Jupiter's aggregator, which finds the best price across all Solana DEXes (Raydium, Orca, Meteora, etc.).

When to use Ultra: Default choice for everyday trading. It's reliable, fast, and free. Switch to Jito or Helius only when you need MEV protection or maximum landing probability on contested tokens.

Jito Bundles

Your transaction is bundled and sent directly to Jito's block engine, which forwards it to validators. This provides MEV protection — your trade can't be sandwiched by bots.

Jito Settings

Open the gear icon to configure:

When to use Jito: When buying a token that's being actively sniped or when making large trades where a 1-2% sandwich would cost more than the Jito tip.

Helius Sender

The most aggressive execution strategy. Your transaction is sent through two paths simultaneously:

  1. Staked connections (SWQOS) — Direct validator connections via Helius' staked infrastructure.
  2. Jito bundle — Simultaneously submitted to Jito's block engine.

Whichever path lands first wins. This dual-routing gives the highest probability of transaction inclusion.

Helius Sender Settings

Uses the same settings as Jito (slippage, priority fee, tip). The tip is used as the Jito bribe when the Jito path is taken.

When to use Helius Sender: When every millisecond matters — new token launches, time-limited opportunities, or when Solana is congested and you need the highest landing rate.
