JUP to XAUT: Swap Jupiter on Solana to Tether Gold on Ethereum

JUP is the governance token of Jupiter, a swap aggregator on Solana. Holders use it to vote on the project's proposals, and its price moves with the Solana token market. XAUT, Tether Gold, sits at the opposite end. Each token stands for one troy ounce of physical gold, so its price follows gold rather than crypto sentiment or the dollar.

That contrast is the honest reason people take this route. Someone with a JUP position wants part of it in an asset that tracks gold, without first parking it in a dollar token and then making a second swap. This page does it in one step across two chains.

You do not need a whole ounce. XAUT has six decimal places, so the payout can be a small fraction of one token, matching whatever amount of JUP you send. Nothing here says gold will rise; it simply behaves differently from a governance token.

This swap touches Solana on the way in and Ethereum on the way out, and each chain wants its own coin for fees.

On the deposit side, sending JUP is a Solana token transfer, and the fee for it is paid in SOL. A Phantom or Solflare wallet that holds JUP but no SOL cannot send it. Keep a small SOL balance next to the JUP before you start.

On the payout side, XAUT is an ERC-20 token. Receiving it costs you nothing, and a brand-new 0x address works fine. Moving it later is a different story: every XAUT transfer pays gas in ETH. If you plan to send the XAUT on, or swap it again, put some ETH in that same wallet first.

People often forget the second half because the first half felt so cheap. Solana fees are usually far lower than Ethereum gas, so budget for the Ethereum side separately. The guide to lower gas fees covers when Ethereum transfers cost less.

Open the wallet that holds your JUP and copy its Solana address into the sender field first. That address is also where a refund would return, so it should be a wallet you control, not an exchange account.

When you send, pick JUP from the token list, not SOL. Solana wallets show many tokens on one screen, and a slip of the finger sends the wrong one. Scam tokens with the same name do circulate; if in doubt, open the JUP entry in your wallet on Solscan and check it is the token you meant to hold.

Your Solana address, the one without a 0x at the front, cannot receive XAUT, so make sure the payout field holds your Ethereum address and the sender field holds the Solana one. The deposit confirms on Solana in under a minute.

The two middle rows explain most support questions on this pair. JUP and XAUT live on chains with different address formats, so no single address works for both, and the gas coin changes from SOL to ETH. A Ledger can hold both if you add the Solana and Ethereum apps, but each still shows its own address. Phantom also supports Ethereum accounts, yet the XAUT will only appear if that 0x account is the one you pasted as the payout address.

Tether Gold is created by its issuer against gold it holds. Like other centrally issued tokens, XAUT can be frozen by its issuer at the token-contract level. That is a property of the token itself, not of the swap, and it is worth knowing before you hold any amount of it.

XAUT also exists on more than one chain. This pair pays the ERC-20 version on Ethereum, to a 0x address. XAUT on BNB Smart Chain is a separate coin in the exchange box with its own pairs, so do not expect this payout to appear on a BNB Chain account.

If MetaMask or Rabby does not list XAUT after the payout, the token is usually there but hidden. Open the payout transaction on Etherscan, click the token name and import that token into your wallet. The balance then shows on the same 0x address.

The XAUT figure in the box is what you receive after fees for the JUP you enter, from aggregated liquidity from leading crypto markets. Because one XAUT is worth an ounce of gold, the payout is often a small decimal; that is normal. The rate floats until your JUP deposit confirms, and the box lists this pair's minimum and maximum.

Once the deposit confirms, most swaps finish within minutes, and Ethereum then confirms the XAUT payout in about 2 to 5 minutes.

If a swap cannot be completed, the coins are refunded to the sender address you entered, as JUP on Solana. The status page under your swap ID shows each stage. When Solscan shows the JUP delivered and the status sits still for a long time, contact support@ghostswap.io with the swap ID and the Solana signature, and wait for an answer rather than sending again.
