Orca DEX protocol
Overview
Orca operates as a decentralised exchange on the Solana blockchain, enabling token swaps with reduced slippage and allowing liquidity providers to earn returns on deposited assets. Its primary liquidity mechanism is Whirlpools, a concentrated liquidity model where providers can opt to allocate capital within a specific price range for higher capital efficiency or maintain a full-range position for a more hands-off strategy. The protocol incorporates governance features; its documentation indicates that participants may vote on proposals and influence Orca's development. Orca's documentation is segmented into distinct guides for traders and liquidity providers, and the project offers open technical documentation for developers integrating with the Whirlpools programme. Orca established itself as a leading automated market maker on Solana and introduced Whirlpools to implement concentrated liquidity on the network.
