1. Project introduction

Drift Protocol is a decentralized exchange (DEX) deployed on Solana, designed for high-speed trading of perpetual futures, spot assets, and lending/borrowing. The protocol incorporates three forms of liquidity: a decentralized limit orderbook, an automated market maker (AMM), and a unique Just-in-Time (JIT) auction system. Built on open-source smart contracts, Drift offers transparent and trustless trading, as well as a robust DAO governance system. Its aim is to deliver capital efficiency, asset protection, and a seamless trading experience, targeting both retail and institutional derivatives traders who value decentralization.
