Orca is the easiest, fastest, and most user-friendly AMM on Solana, as well as one of the first projects to ever receive a development grant from Solana.

Orca recently announced its $18M Series A fundraising round, led by Polychain Capital and Three Arrows Capital, among others, and has seen significant growth over the past months, with over $500 Million in liquidity across 40+ liquidity pools.

Since its inception, Orca’s mission has been to innovate on the core AMM to provide users with lightning-fast swaps and low fees, in combination with a convenient and human-centred UX.

Aleph’s dashboard shows crucial information about Orca that was previously unavailable, such as line charts for price, trading volume, and TVL. We’re thankful for their contributions to us and other projects in the Solana ecosystem for making data accessible to all. ” — Yutaro Mori, Director of Orca.

Surfacing Trading Data With Aleph.im

Aleph.im’s indexing solution will help Orca to provide rich data to their users such as token prices, the total trading volume across trading pairs, and TVL for all liquidity pools. Our network of microVMs will spawn on-demand and index this data to create a dashboard for historical data while ensuring the datasets remain forever available on our decentralized network.

“We’re happy to offer Orca and its users availability of valuable trading data. This will benefit their trading activities and offer more visibility into the overall on-chain DeFi landscape in the Solana ecosystem” — Jonathan Schemoul (aka Moshe Malawach), founder of Aleph.im

Many projects on Solana have to rely on their own centralized indexing solutions or no indexing at all, due to the high costs for physical hardware, unfeasibly fast internet connections, and computing power. Aleph.im helps Solana-based applications to cut costs and enjoy better data retrieval and easy data query for their users. And unlike solutions like The Graph which index the entire blockchain, Aleph.im indexes new data first before working backwards in time, providing a more robust and user-centric solution.
