Why Solana?
We built Yooru on Solana for practical reasons. Speed, cost, and ecosystem maturity. Let us break down why these matter for AI agents specifically.
Speed Is Everything for AI Agents
An AI agent that takes 30 seconds to execute a trade is nearly useless in crypto markets. By the time your transaction confirms, the arbitrage opportunity is gone, the price has moved, the alpha has disappeared. Solana processes transactions in about 400ms with sub-second finality. That is fast enough for an AI agent to actually be effective.
Low Costs Enable Micro-Actions
On Solana, a typical swap costs around $0.00025. Your agent can make small moves, test hypotheses, rebalance frequently, compound rewards often, and interact with protocols liberally without worrying about fees eating into returns.
Mature DeFi Ecosystem
Solana has the infrastructure AI agents need. Jupiter for DEX aggregation with best price execution. Raydium and Orca for concentrated liquidity. Kamino for automated vault strategies. Marinade for liquid staking. The primitives are all there and they are battle-tested.
- •Jupiter: $2B+ daily volume, best price aggregation across all DEXs
- •Raydium: $500M+ TVL, concentrated liquidity pools
- •Orca: Whirlpools with efficient capital deployment
- •Kamino: Automated concentrated liquidity strategies
- •50+ Integrated Protocols: Lending, DEXs, perps, vaults, bridges
