Introduction

Drift Protocol is a decentralised exchange, open-sourced and built on the Solana blockchain.

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 - 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.
