Orca Trade

Orca Trade is a decentralized exchange built on the Solana blockchain that focuses on a friendly swap experience, competitive fees, and transparent pool mechanics.

It provides token swaps, liquidity pools, and analytics to help users interact with Solana DeFi without a steep learning curve.

Key Features and Benefits

• Speed and cost-efficiency with fast Solana transactions.
• Straightforward liquidity provision with LP tokens earning fees proportional to stake.
• Multi-hop swap routing optimized to reduce slippage and get better pricing.
• Minimal and intuitive user experience ideal for newcomers.

How Swaps Work

A swap on Orca uses automated market maker (AMM) pools.

The protocol routes your trade through one or more pools to find the best price while fees are taken and distributed to liquidity providers.

Thanks to Solana’s low fees, multi-hop routing is affordable, providing better pricing options even for uncommon token pairs.

Providing Liquidity

You choose a pool, deposit the tokens in the required ratio, and receive LP tokens representing your share of the pool which accrue trading fees.

Consider impermanent loss and pool volatility before adding liquidity, with stable pairs carrying lower risks than volatile tokens.
