Adrena

Adrena is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform focused on perpetual trading with up to 100x leverage. It combines the speed and efficiency of centralized exchanges with the security and transparency of decentralized exchanges by executing trades in milliseconds with near-zero gas fees on Solana. Adrena enables users to go long or short on assets while maintaining full self-custody of their funds, eliminating the need for intermediaries or keepers. The platform uses Solana's priority fee system to ensure fair access to trade execution, avoiding front-running and slippage.

The protocol employs a two-token model inspired by GMX but optimized for better revenue distribution and long-term alignment among liquidity providers, token holders, and traders. Liquidity providers receive ALP tokens representing their share of the liquidity pool, which appreciates through platform fees and asset growth. ADX tokens serve governance purposes and entitle holders to a share of USDC yield generated by platform fees. Staking ADX tokens grants additional rewards and governance multipliers, incentivizing community participation.

Adrena is community-driven, with 100% of fee revenue redistributed to token holders and liquidity providers. Its open-source codebase and DAO governance structure empower users to influence platform development and operations. Developers and traders can get started by connecting wallets compatible with Solana, depositing collateral to receive ALP tokens, and participating in governance or trading with leverage. Comprehensive documentation is available to guide integration and usage.
