what's orca?

Orca is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Solana blockchain, serving as a user-friendly platform for trading cryptocurrencies and providing liquidity in a concentrated manner. It employs a Concentrated Liquidity Automated Market Maker (CLMM) model, enabling liquidity providers to focus their capital in specific price ranges to optimize yields and efficiency. The platform emphasizes accessibility for traders and liquidity providers of all levels, featuring intuitive interfaces for swaps, pools, and advanced tools like whirlpools for concentrated liquidity. Orca has demonstrated strong market performance, leading Solana DEXs with $2.49 billion in 24-hour trading volume during a recent liquidation event and achieving $16 billion in September volume to rank among the top 10 global DEXes alongside Uniswap and PancakeSwap. It actively collaborates with ecosystem partners like Kamino, Phantom, Maple Finance on initiatives such as the $CASH Growth program, and Solsticefi for incentivized liquidity pools like USX/USDC and eUSX/USX. Additionally, Orca hosts trading competitions, such as the ongoing $WINR token event with substantial prize pools to boost user engagement.
