Orca DEX protocol
Overview
Orca is a decentralised exchange on Solana that lets traders swap tokens with minimal slippage and lets liquidity providers earn yield on their deposits. Its core liquidity primitive is Whirlpools, Orca's concentrated liquidity design, in which liquidity providers choose whether to concentrate capital into a narrow price band for maximum capital efficiency or supply a full-range position for a more passive approach. The protocol has governance, with the documentation noting that participants can vote on proposals and shape Orca's future. Orca's own documentation is organised into separate tracks for traders and for liquidity providers, and the project maintains open technical documentation for integrators building on the Whirlpools programme. Orca established itself as one of Solana's principal automated market makers and introduced Whirlpools to bring concentrated liquidity to the network.
