Tiger Powers Orca's Leading Solana DEX with High-Performance Time-Series Infrastructure for 500M+ Daily Volume
Blog post from Tiger Data
Orca Protocol, a leading decentralized exchange (DEX) on Solana, processes over $500 million in daily trading volume by leveraging advanced technological infrastructure to optimize price discovery and minimize slippage across various token types like blue chips and stablecoins. To meet the demands of high-frequency trading and large-volume swaps, Orca utilizes a Concentrated Liquidity Market Maker (CLMM) and employs TimescaleDB on AWS to efficiently manage real-time blockchain indexing, complex financial calculations, and sub-second analytics, ensuring performance without compromise. The transition to Tiger Data's PostgreSQL platform has dramatically improved query performance, with response times reduced to 300-500ms, facilitated by advanced features like time-based partitioning and continuous aggregates. This infrastructure supports Orca's goals of providing institutional-grade performance while maintaining the decentralized ethos of the DeFi ecosystem, positioning it as a pivotal component of Solana's trading landscape and allowing for scalable growth in the future.
