What is Drift Protocol?
Drift Protocol (DRIFT) is a decentralised exchange built on the Solana blockchain that launched in 2021. It was created to bring the kind of advanced trading tools usually found on centralised platforms into a decentralised, permissionless setting, combining spot markets with more sophisticated derivatives in one place.
The protocol leans on Solana's fast, low-cost network to offer near-instant settlement and small transaction fees. Its virtual automated market maker, or vAMM, model supports perpetual futures trading with leverage of up to 10x. DRIFT is the protocol's governance token, so holders can vote on decisions about platform development, fee structures, and new features.
Together these pieces make Drift one of the more comprehensive trading platforms in the Solana ecosystem, and the DRIFT token is how the community helps steer where it goes next.
