Orca is the most user-friendly DEX on Solana. It’s intuitive, easy to use, and designed for people, not programs.
Here are some ways that Orca provides a simpler, more human-centered experience for traders on Solana:
Fair price indicator
Token balances are displayed in the interface
Magicbar, which lets you directly type the tokens and amount you want to trade
Orca also lets you provide liquidity to their Aquafarms (trading pools) and earn passive rewards from trading fees. Some token pairs even let you earn dual rewards through Double-Dip pools!
Visit Orca at Orca.so for a new experience of instant, nearly-free swaps.
