DEX platform for anyone bringing on-chain, cross-margined perpetual futures to Solana
About Drift
Despite the decentralized nature of crypto, centralized derivatives exchanges still remain dominant - they're already fast, familiar and reliable. So far, the DEX trading experience hasn't met that standard. Slippage is high for large orders, transferring funds between platforms is subject to massive gas fees, and low liquidity leads to poor pricing. Drift’s goal is to bring a state-of-the-art trader-centric experience from centralized exchanges on-chain. We're a team of experienced traders and builders from DeFi and traditional finance working together to make this a reality. Powered by Solana’s low latency blockchain. Take multiple positions using a single pool of collateral. Immediate liquidity from listing. Trade instantly. When you trade against Drift’s vAMM, you know exactly the price you transact at.

Raydium
Raydium is an automated market maker (AMM) built on the Solana blockchain which leverages the central order book of the Serum decentralized exchange (DEX) to enable lightning-fast trades, shared liquidity and new features for earning yield. Other AMM DEXs and DeFi protocols are only able to access liquidity within their own pools and have no access to a central order book. Additionally, with the majority of platforms running on Ethereum, transactions are slow and gas fees are high. We leverage the efficiency of the Solana blockchain to achieve transactions magnitudes faster than Ethereum and gas fees which are a fraction of the cost. Raydium provides on-chain liquidity to the central limit order book of the Serum DEX, meaning that Raydium allows access to the order flow and liquidity of the entire Serum ecosystem. For traders who want to be able to view TradingView charts, set limit orders and have more control over their trading.

Hyperliquid
Crypto is fragmented today, but it doesn’t need to be. For the first time, build projects, create value, and exchange assets on the same hyper-performant chain. The foundation of the Hyperliquid L1 is HyperBFT consensus, which lets a disparate set of nodes agree on the state of the world. The state comprises all applications, both those built as native components and the HyperEVM. The Hyper Foundation, established to support the development of the Hyperliquid blockchain and its ecosystem, has announced the upcoming genesis distribution of its native token, HYPE. This initiative marks a significant step toward implementing proof-of-stake consensus and launching the HyperEVM on the layer-1 blockchain's mainnet. Hyperliquid's flagship application is a decentralized trading platform that provides deep on-chain liquidity for a wide range of assets. With the introduction of HyperEVM, applications built on Hyperliquid will have access to this extensive liquidity.
