Saros
Saros is a comprehensive Web3 application built on the Solana blockchain, providing users with access to decentralized finance services, digital identity solutions, and payment functionalities. Initially launched as a decentralized exchange, Saros has evolved into a multi-faceted ecosystem designed to simplify user interaction with blockchain technology through its Super App interface. [2]
Overview
Saros is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform built on the Solana blockchain, offering a suite of integrated products: SarosSwap for token trading, SarosFarm for liquidity farming, and SarosStake for staking. The platform is designed to streamline DeFi participation by offering a unified interface that simplifies liquidity management and asset interaction. By leveraging Solana’s low fees and high transaction throughput, Saros enables efficient and cost-effective engagement with decentralized applications. Its goal is to simplify the complexity of Web3 and provide users with a straightforward way to manage digital assets within the Solana ecosystem. [5]
Features
DLMM
Saros DLMM (Dynamic Liquidity Market Maker) is Saros' automated market-making system, built on Solana, utilizing Liquidity Book technology to facilitate efficient, on-chain trading without traditional order books or centralized intermediaries. Instead of a continuous liquidity curve, Saros DLMM organizes liquidity into discrete price bins, optimizing capital deployment based on volatility, slippage, and fees.
The system aims to serve as a foundational layer for an open and composable financial market, contrasting traditional systems where liquidity is fragmented, gated, and dependent on intermediaries. Saros DLMM is permissionless, programmable, and accessible to any application, allowing assets to be listed and traded instantly. It is designed to remain functional in volatile conditions, offering capital efficiency and resilience as core features. [9] [10]
SarosSwap
SarosSwap is a decentralized automated market maker (AMM) on Solana that enables users to exchange SPL tokens without relying on order books. It uses the common constant product formula and is designed to simplify liquidity provision and asset trading. By allowing token holders to act as passive liquidity providers, SarosSwap supports decentralized trading and price discovery while lowering the barriers for project teams to launch and manage liquidity. Its distinguishing features include an emphasis on user experience and gamification. [11]
SarosFarm
SarosFarm is a yield farming platform on Solana that allows users to stake liquidity provider (LP) tokens in exchange for token rewards. It serves as an aggregator for incentivized liquidity pools, aiming to simplify liquidity mining for both new and existing projects by centralizing access to these programs.
The platform supports popular and newly launched token pairs, helping projects grow liquidity while offering users exposure to multiple decentralized exchanges such as Raydium and Orca. Built on Solana, SarosFarm benefits from low transaction costs, high throughput, and minimal latency. Security is emphasized, with smart contracts audited to reduce risks, although users remain exposed to potential impermanent loss. [12]
SarosStake
SarosStake is a single-asset staking platform within the Saros ecosystem on Solana, enabling users to earn token rewards by staking a single asset without exposure to impermanent loss. Designed for simplicity, it offers an alternative to liquidity farming by eliminating the need to provide token pairs, allowing users to accumulate yield passively through auto-compounding rewards.
Unlike SarosFarm, which involves risks tied to price fluctuations between token pairs, SarosStake allows participants to benefit solely from the appreciation of the staked asset. Operating on Solana, it features low transaction costs and high efficiency, and its smart contracts have undergone security audits to mitigate potential risks. [13]
Perp Dex
Saros Perpetual DEX is a decentralized derivatives platform within the Saros ecosystem on Solana, offering perpetual futures trading for a wide range of digital assets. Built on Orderly Network infrastructure, it enables users to maintain full custody of assets while trading with up to 50x leverage across over 100 token pairs.
The platform addresses the need for fast listings of new tokens, deep liquidity to reduce slippage, and user incentives such as a referral program. Designed to support Solana’s high-speed, low-cost environment, Saros Perps provides an accessible venue for decentralized leverage trading and market participation. [14] [15]
Garden
Saros Garden is a staking program within the Saros ecosystem that allows users to stake SAROS tokens in exchange for non-transferable BERRY points. These points reflect long-term participation and can unlock future rewards, airdrop access, and other benefits as Saros expands its ecosystem across Solana-based tools and assets. [16]
Mobile App
The Saros Mobile App is a mobile platform that offers users direct access to decentralized finance tools and services within the Solana ecosystem. It includes features such as Saros ID and supports fast, secure interactions with Solana-based applications, aiming to streamline everyday financial tasks through a unified interface. [17]
