Powering the Solana DeFi Ecosystem
Raydium has established itself as a cornerstone of the Solana decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, offering an automated market maker (AMM) and liquidity provider that integrates with Serum's central limit order book. This unique hybrid approach combines the benefits of traditional order books with the flexibility of AMMs, creating a powerful trading environment with minimal fees and lightning-fast transactions.
Since its launch, Raydium has become the go-to platform for trading Solana-based tokens, with daily volumes frequently exceeding hundreds of millions of dollars. The Raydium exchange leverages Solana's high throughput (65,000 transactions per second) and low fees (fractions of a cent per transaction), making it an attractive alternative to Ethereum-based DEXs.
