Additional Information about Drift Protocol (DRIFT)

What is Drift Protocol (DRIFT)?

Drift Protocol is a decentralized crypto exchange on Solana. The platform mainly focuses on trading perpetual futures. These are trading contracts without a fixed end date, allowing users to speculate on rising or falling prices without having to own the underlying crypto itself.

In addition to perpetuals, Drift also offers spot trading, borrowing and lending, and various products that let users earn yield. The platform is designed for both individual traders and professional market makers, as well as other parties that want to trade on-chain.

Drift uses different sources of liquidity to execute orders. An important part of this is Just-in-Time Auctions, where market makers compete with each other to execute an order at a favorable price. In addition, Drift uses a Decentralized Limit Order Book, or DLOB, in which users' limit orders are tracked.

Drift runs entirely on Solana and makes use of that network's speed and low transaction costs. DRIFT is the governance token of the protocol and gives holders influence over decisions within the Drift DAO.

How does Drift Protocol (DRIFT) work?

Drift uses different systems to execute trading orders on Solana. When a user places a market order, for example, it first goes through a Just-in-Time Auction. Market makers can then compete with each other for a short period to execute the order at a favorable price.

If the order is not fully filled through this auction, Drift can use other sources of liquidity. One of these is the Decentralized Limit Order Book, or DLOB. This tracks outstanding limit orders. In addition, the protocol can make use of AMM and backstop liquidity. Together, these systems ensure that liquidity is available to traders in different ways.

Drift runs via smart contracts on Solana and does not have its own blockchain or consensus mechanism. Transactions are processed and secured by the Solana network. Drift also uses price oracles to track current market prices and has a liquidation engine that can reduce positions when an account has insufficient collateral.

For extra protection against losses, Drift uses Insurance Funds. Users can deposit certain assets into these funds and receive a share of the revenue from, among other things, trading, borrowing and liquidation fees. If an account is left with a deficit after a liquidation, the Insurance Fund can be used to cover this deficit.

DRIFT is the governance token of the protocol. Holders can participate in the Drift DAO and vote on, among other things, protocol development, risk parameters and other changes. DRIFT can also be staked and is used within the ecosystem to encourage participation in governance and the protocol.

The maximum supply is 1,000,000,000 DRIFT.

Who are the founders of Drift Protocol?

Drift Protocol was founded in 2021 by Cindy Leow and David Lu. Together, they founded Drift Labs, the team that developed the first versions of the protocol.

Cindy Leow is co-founder of Drift and is one of the main public faces of the project. Among other things, she focuses on the strategy, growth and further development of the protocol.

David Lu is also co-founder of Drift and has been involved in the development of the trading platform from the very beginning.

Leow and Lu started Drift with the goal of building a decentralized trading platform that uses the speed and capabilities of Solana to make financial products fully available on-chain. The first version of Drift went live in 2021 and focused mainly on perpetual futures. Later, the platform was expanded to include spot trading, borrowing, lending and other DeFi products.
