Raydium (RAY) is a decentralized exchange and automated market maker built on the Solana blockchain. It offers lightning-fast trading, low transaction costs, and deep liquidity by integrating directly with Serum, Solana’s central limit order book-based DEX. This hybrid design allows Raydium users to access both AMM pools and Serum’s order book, creating a more efficient and versatile trading experience.
Launched in early 2021, Raydium has become a foundational platform in the Solana DeFi ecosystem, supporting token swaps, liquidity farming, yield optimization, and project launches via its AcceleRaytor launchpad. RAY can be bought on specialized exchanges and RAY can also be traded for using other cryptocurrencies.
