What is Raydium?
Raydium is an automated market maker (AMM) built on the Solana blockchain, enabling fast trades, permissionless liquidity pool creation, and yield earning opportunities
What is a swap?
A swap refers to the exchange of a token for another. It allows users to trade tokens without the need for a centralized intermediary.
For example, let's say you have Solana (SOL) tokens and you want to swap them for another token, like Ethereum (ETH). You can use a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Solana blockchain, such as Serum or Raydium, to initiate the swap. The DEX will automatically match your trade with another user who wants to exchange their ETH for SOL, and the swap will be executed directly between your wallets. This process is fast, efficient, and provides users with more control over their assets.
Can I swap on mobile?
Yes, Raydium works on mobile.
What is the benefit of Serum integration?
Raydium taps into Serum’s order book liquidity for better price depth and trade execution.
Is Raydium suitable for new Solana traders?
Yes. The interface is intuitive, fees are transparent, and even beginners can swap, farm, or provide liquidity with minimal UX friction.
