No one does it like Aphelion.
OpenBook was founded at one of the darkest moments in Solana history. We forked Serum to serve as a beacon of light; a showcase of Solana’s technical achievements and a rallying point for its DeFi community. But it could only work with real, meaningful liquidity on the books. The brand name market making firms - everyone you’ve heard of - had packed up and left. But Aphelion was there. Not just to trade but to build a better DEX and push the ecosystem forward.
A few years and a few billion in trading volume later and they’re just as engaged as they were from day 1, helping to build and grow V2. If you’ve ever traded on OpenBook, you’ve traded through Aphelion.
Market makers are often thought of as vultures or sharks. Aphelion is different; they’re a team of Monkeys, committed to and deeply ingrained into the fabric of Solana DeFi, invested in its future in a real, tangible way.
If you want the best, you want Aphelion.
