In the fast-paced world of Solana's DeFi ecosystem, where meme tokens like cat-themed coins and viral pumps dominate trading volumes, a public spat has erupted between two major DEX aggregators: Jupiter Exchange and Titan Exchange. It all kicked off when Jupiter publicly requested their Metis router be removed from Titan's platform, citing misleading quotes and bad faith practices. Titan fired back with a defense, including charts showing their performance edge. But it was Weremeow's (@weremeow) blistering reply that turned heads and sparked memes across the community.
Weremeow, a key figure at Jupiter Exchange known for their sharp wit and deep involvement in Solana projects like Moonshot and Meteora, didn't hold back. In a thread-reply that's racked up thousands of views, they accused Titan of knowingly misleading users by displaying outdated Jupiter quotes as current ones. "You knew exactly what you were doing when you showed Jupiter on your page & refused to respond to us," Weremeow wrote, emphasizing how this tricks the ecosystem into thinking Titan's quotes match what users get on Jupiter directly.
For those new to the jargon, a DEX aggregator like Jupiter or Titan pulls together liquidity from various decentralized exchanges on Solana to find the best swap rates for tokens—crucial for sniping hot meme launches or flipping volatile assets without getting rekt by high slippage. Slippage is basically the difference between the expected price and what you actually get after the trade executes, often due to market volatility or MEV (Miner Extractable Value) attacks.
Weremeow highlighted how Jupiter offered their Metis binary—a self-hosted version of their routing tech—out of goodwill two years ago to boost the ecosystem. But now, it's being weaponized against them. "You are literally the reason why we cannot have nice things," they said, noting the binary was deprecated months ago and doesn't reflect Jupiter's current meta-aggregation, which combines multiple routers like OKX, DFlow, and their own JupiterZ for optimal execution.
Titan's response included this chart boasting higher win rates, but Weremeow dismissed it as smoke and mirrors. "Stop using images pretending you are superior," they urged, pointing out that the data relies on an outdated binary and ignores real executed prices. Jupiter focuses on end-to-end optimization, including punishing underperforming markets and adjusting slippage to protect users from sandwiches—where bots front-run your trade to profit at your expense.
The drama doesn't stop there. Weremeow called out Titan for ghosting requests to share their API, despite Jupiter reciprocating with partners like DFlow and OKX. "If you were a serious scientific player, you would have offered up your api, collaborated w us to improve it," they added, suggesting Titan's selective transparency hides an agenda.
Community reactions poured in, turning the thread into a meme fest. One user, @Kac_Kupa_, quipped "PS6: mittens are off im never leaving this app," playing on Weremeow's escalating PS notes that went up to PS6. @wassielawyer critiqued the "broken meta" of VC-backed projects promising airdrops to pump narratives before exiting. Even @squigthepig chimed in with a hilarious pig meme urging Titan to "take a long hard look in the mirror."
This beef underscores bigger issues in Solana's meme token trading scene: trust, transparency, and fair competition. With billions in volume flowing through these platforms, misleading quotes could cost traders real money, especially on high-vol meme swaps. Jupiter's evolution from a simple router to a full DeFi superapp, handling over $2 trillion in volume, shows why they're pushing back hard.
As meme traders, it's a reminder to always verify quotes across platforms. If you're diving into Solana memes, sticking with established aggregators like Jupiter might save you from slippage surprises.
