Buy on a schedule with DCA

DCA, dollar-cost averaging, splits one purchase into smaller orders spread over time. You pay the average price of the period instead of the price of a single moment.[1]

Three daily orders of 300 USDC buy SOL at illustrative prices of $200, $180 and $160. You end with about 5.04 SOL, an average of $178.51, lower than the first day's price.

Step by step

  1. Open DCA and connect

    Go to jup.ag/recurring and connect your wallet.

  2. Choose what to buy

    Pick the token you spend and the token you want to accumulate.

  3. Set the plan

    Enter the total, how many orders, and how often: every minute, hour, day or week.

  4. Start it

    Confirm in your wallet. The first order runs right away and each later one follows your schedule.

  5. Watch or cancel

    Bought tokens go to your wallet after each order. Cancel any time to stop; pausing is not supported.

Good to know

  • The minimum is $10 per order, so the total scales with the count: two orders need $20, five need $50.[1]
  • Each order runs within ±30 seconds of its slot, a randomised timing that makes it harder for bots to trade ahead of you.[1]
  • You can add a price range: an order due while the price is outside it is marked Out of Range and rescheduled.[1]
  • Fees for DCA V2: 0.03% to 0.1% base plus the Ultra routing fee (0% to 0.5%).[2]
