Plain English
Raydium is one of the largest DEXes on Solana, launched in 2021. Unique design: AMM liquidity is also placed onto the Serum/OpenBook on-chain order book — letting Raydium LPs capture both AMM and order-book fees. RAY is the governance token.
How it actually works
AMM-based plus concentrated-liquidity pools. Many Solana memecoins launch first on Raydium pools. AcceleRaytor launchpad supports new token launches. Burn-Buy-Burn — a portion of trading fees buys back and burns RAY. Significant trading volume from memecoin activity in 2024-25.
What it means for you
For Solana DeFi users, Raydium is essential — most newly-launched tokens and memecoins debut here. For trading execution, the Jupiter aggregator often routes through Raydium pools alongside Orca and other Solana DEXes for best price. RAY token captures fees from this activity through burns.
