Innovations in decentralized trading on the Solana blockchain: trading price spreads rival top exchanges and have already accounted for 60% of on-chain trading volume

【Blockchain Rhythm】At the Solana Breakpoint conference, core builders of decentralized trading platforms shared an interesting phenomenon.

What can the Solana network do now? Handle transactions at nearly zero cost, clearing tens of thousands of trades per second. Anyone globally can participate—through new seat licensing and membership tier systems, entering a fully open, permissionless, Wall Street-grade quality, programmable, global trading market. Sounds a bit sci-fi, right? But it’s becoming a reality.

A recently launched decentralized trading platform called 「HumidiFi」 is particularly noteworthy. How tight are its bid-ask spreads? Tighter than some leading exchanges. The average transaction spread is only a few basis points—what does this mean? Retail investors can now access spreads better than any traditional brokerage platform. Such execution quality, once only available to large institutions, is now accessible to retail traders.

Even more impressive are the data: this system currently accounts for 60% of all on-chain trading volume. And this is just the beginning.

The logic behind this transformation is clear—blockchain is not just technology; it is changing the rules of retail finance. Trading costs are no longer a pain point for retail traders but a source of competitiveness. When every basis point can be saved, and anyone from anywhere in the world can access the same market, the moat of traditional finance is gradually being eroded.

The current question is not whether Solana can support such trading volume, but when the next 60% will arrive.
