what's Flash Trade?
Flash Trade is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Solana blockchain, specializing in perpetual swaps and spot trading with up to 100x leverage. It employs a unique pool-to-peer liquidity model where liquidity providers earn real yield from trading fees, supported by dynamic pricing from oracles like Pyth Network and a backup oracle system for reliability. The platform offers instant order fills with minimal slippage, low fees, and advanced tools such as stop-loss, take-profit, and dynamic fee controls, making it suitable for high-volume traders. The protocol's liquidity is managed through Flash Liquidity Pools (FLP), which are asset-backed to prevent bankruptcy risks even in volatile markets. It supports trading of cryptocurrencies like SOL, BTC, ETH, and memecoins, as well as forex and metals in dedicated pools. Flash Trade integrates with Solana wallets and features like .sol domain support for user profiles, enhancing on-chain identity. Governance and rewards are facilitated through the FAF token, which provides utility for fee discounts, staking, and protocol decisions. Early bootstrapping involved yield-bearing NFTs that evolved into trading accounts, transitioning to the FAF token for broader participation in the ecosystem.
Flash Trade's FLP.r token is up 7.9% to $1.079; 6.68M FAF distributed to stakers.
