What is Raydium?
Raydium is an automated market maker (AMM) built on the Solana blockchain. It leverages the central order book of Serum’s decentralized exchange to enable fast trade, share liquidity, etc.
Radium differs from other AAMs, DEXs, or DeFi protocols in that it offers on-chain liquidity to a central order book, while others don’t. Many Ethereum projects also have slow transaction speed and high gas fees. Another difference is that traditional exchanges use an order book to match buyers and sellers, whereas AMMs offer a pool of tokens for buyers and sellers to choose from.
Thus, the Raydium AMM provides users and liquidity pools access to the order flow and liquidity of the entire Serum ecosystem.

The token’s trading volume rose 392.01% to US$61 million over the last 24 hours.
