Raydium is a high-performance automated market maker (AMM) and decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Solana blockchain. It offers fast, low-cost token swaps and liquidity provisioning, while also integrating directly with the Serum central limit order book (CLOB). This hybrid design gives Raydium a unique edge over traditional AMMs, combining the benefits of DeFi with the efficiency of centralized exchanges.
As one of the earliest and most active DeFi protocols on Solana, Raydium is a gateway to the broader Solana ecosystem, supporting token trading, yield farming, launchpad participation, and more.
Raydium enables users to swap SPL tokens (Solana-based assets) almost instantly, thanks to Solana's high-speed, low-latency infrastructure. Transaction costs are extremely low — often less than a penny — making it ideal for both retail and high-frequency traders.
Swaps on Raydium are executed through its AMM pools or routed via Serum’s CLOB, ensuring users get the best available price with minimal slippage.
What sets Raydium apart is its dual liquidity model. Unlike typical AMMs, Raydium not only provides liquidity through its own pools but also shares it with the Serum order book. This means:
This hybrid architecture brings the precision of centralized exchanges to the decentralized world.
Users can deposit LP tokens earned from providing liquidity into farming pools to earn RAY, Raydium’s native token. Staking options are available through:
These incentives help attract liquidity and reward long-term supporters of the protocol.
Raydium’s AcceleRaytor is a launchpad that helps new Solana-based projects raise funds and gain visibility. Token sales are conducted transparently, giving users early access to promising DeFi, NFT, and Web3 initiatives.
This initiative not only strengthens the Raydium ecosystem but also helps grow the broader Solana network.
