Solana's largest automated market maker by value locked, holding $846m and serving as the routing backbone for much of the network's trading.

Our assessment

Raydium holds $846m on Solana, the second-largest figure in this comparison, and functions as the routing backbone for a large share of the network's trading. Its evidence surface is much thinner than its size.

Depth is what a trader is buying

For anyone trading size, the only question that matters is how much the price moves against them. At $846m, Raydium absorbs orders that would visibly move a $100m venue, and aggregators route through it constantly for that reason. Depth is not a vanity metric — it is the product.

Where the memecoin flow sits

A substantial share of Solana's speculative activity passes through pools like these, which produces enormous fee income and a liquidity base that can move quickly. Depth built on a trend is real while the trend lasts. Judge the pair you are trading rather than the headline total.

No audit report at this check

For a protocol holding this much value, the absence of a linked audit report at a public address is the single largest gap in its evidence. Our counterparty pillar is 30% of the score, and no amount of TVL substitutes for a published review — size attracts attackers rather than deterring them.

Who it suits

Raydium fits Solana traders who need depth and are trading through aggregators anyway. Users who want published audit evidence should look at Uniswap, Curve, PancakeSwap or QuickSwap.

Frequently asked

Does this score mean Raydium AMM is safe to use?

No. It measures what an outsider can verify: linked audits, published documentation and independently recorded market data. Contract behaviour is not tested by us.

Where does the TVL figure come from?

An independent public analytics platform, queried at the verification date. Anyone can re-run the same query.

Why do some protocols score zero on audits?

Because no audit report is linked in the public dataset. It records what a user can reach, not a claim that no audit was ever performed.
