    What is Orca?

    Orca is also a program or a DEX on the Solana Blockchain. As they state, it is the easiest, fastest, and most user-friendly cryptocurrency exchange on the Solana blockchain.

    materials and methods

    I queried solana.core.fact_swaps data from 2022-01-01 to get information on the top 5 exchange symbols, transactions and volume per day, and success rate, excluding swaps from SOL. to SOL (these are "errors" in the data).

    Conclusion

    First off, a quick refresher on how our Treasury works:

    • On Orca’s standard pools, 0.05% of every swap on constant product pools and 0.01% of stable pools goes to the Orca Treasury. (Additional details can be found in our docs).
    • There are currently zero Treasury fees charged for swaps on Whirlpools, Orca’s new concentrated liquidity pools. The resulting reduction in overall fees incentivize higher liquidity and, in turn, higher trading volume.
    • In the future, governance may implement changes to either of these fee models.
