Introduction
Drift Protocol is a decentralised exchange, open-sourced and built on the Solana blockchain (opens in a new tab).
📈 Trade
Focus on the strategy, and let Drift take care of your position:
- Perpetual Futures / Swaps - Trade the hottest perp markets with up to 101x leverage.
- Spot Trading - Trade assets with up to 5x leverage.
- Swap Tokens (opens in a new tab) - Swap any pair with up to 5x leverage.
Drift was designed with a goal to be capital efficient but also protective of your assets.
We achieved that by setting up sophisticated cross-margined risk engine - a system of tools with an extensive protection from over-extending risk. For instance:
- In the lend/borrow markets, you can also use collateral for perpetual futures and trade more efficiently with spot assets.
- Every token you deposit can earn you more through borrowing and also act as a collateral for perpetual swaps.
- Borrowers can only borrow if they have more collateral than needed, following multiple safety measures for extra protection.
