OpenBook

OpenBook V2 is a ground-up rebuild of the OpenBook DEX that sets the new standard for order book performance and composability. In fusing soaring technical achievements with a grounded, community-led and permissionless vision of DeFi, V2 unleashes the true power of Solana. 🧵👇

Just insane watching you all discover CLOBs in 2025

Tales of my demise have been greatly exaggerated….

No one manages concentrated liquidity on Solana better than @AphelionTrading.

People don't understand @openbookdex : this is not a swap TX. Oh and this is an edited screenshot anyway, screenshotted the original below I see some of my friends follow this account. Should probably unfollow.

BTC trading on OpenBook with a casual 28,171% capital efficiency, no incentives necessary. The boys at Aphelion are dealing!

Repping @openbookdex

I read the Manifest design whitepaper –– the latest "Modular" orderbook on Solana. Probably very few would shill @ManifestTrade due to no-bag bias, but I think it's really cool for Solana DeFi. Some notes on why 🧵

@yashhsm The V1 and V2 smart contracts are immutable and will exist and be tradable forever. But we anticipate that, given its advantages, liquidity will migrate to @ManifestTrade relatively quickly.

@openbookdex so, openbook will evolve into manifest now?

It’s been quiet here, dark, almost ominous... But in the shadows, a new vision was being brought to life. A fully on-chain, third generation orderbook to meant to power Solana DeFi into the future. Welcome to Manifest:

Manifest is the intellectual successor of OpenBook; an open source and feeless central limit orderbook and public good. Manifest maintains the spirit of OpenBook while pushing the technological bounds of on-chain trading.

DropCopy is humming along just fine. What global outage? @openbookdex let’s go #defi

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.

@openbookdex just got a little ZEXy @ZetaMarkets

@dReaderApp @DegenApeAcademy @notjohnlestudio @toly Solana is for comics 🫡

Have you ever dreamt of being accepted into Hogwarts?

The wizards at @arcanamarkets have been cooking!
