What is Serum?

Serum is the first completely decentralized derivatives exchange with trustless cross-chain trading built on the Solana blockchain. A collaboration between crypto traders and De-Fi experts.

Introduction

The trend is your friend until it ends, and 2020 has been the year of Decentralized Finance (De-Fi). With dozens of projects being introduced into the blockchain space this year; creating a much cleaner and simpler interface allowing more users to adopt the technology. With progress, there are occasionally some roadblocks slowing down momentum. One of the main issues to this day is getting away from centralization. Tune in to see this what this project is about, and what it is doing differently.

Why Serum?

First, we must understand what are the current De-Fi issues:

  • Centralized Oracles
