⚔️ Orca natively built on the Solana blockchain

As a core decentralized exchange (DEX) native to the Solana ecosystem, Orca was directly built and deployed on the Solana blockchain in 2020, marking its position as a key pioneer in automated market making (AMM) on this high-performance chain. This native deployment is the starting point for Orca's deep integration into the Solana technology stack, aiming to fully leverage the high-performance characteristics of the blockchain to provide users with fast, low-cost, and user-friendly trading services.

Based on its technical architecture, Orca's design and innovation are entirely centered around and maximally utilize the fundamental performance advantages of the Solana blockchain:

1. Underlying performance dependency: Orca relies entirely on Solana's high throughput (theoretical peak of 65,000 TPS) and proven historical (PoH) consensus mechanism, achieving extremely low latency from transaction submission to confirmation, making high-frequency trading and instant arbitrage possible.

2. Extremely low-cost environment: Thanks to Solana's very low transaction fees (usually below $0.0001), the cost for users to engage in frequent small transactions and liquidity adjustments on Orca becomes negligible, promoting long-tail asset trading and refined liquidity management.

3. Native innovative features: Based on Solana's high performance, Orca pioneered the Whirlpools liquidity solution. It allows liquidity providers (LPs) to concentrate funds within specific price ranges, significantly enhancing capital efficiency and providing traders with a low slippage experience comparable to centralized exchanges.
