This section evaluates how Raydium allocates its token supply compared to leading Exchange projects. It measures deviation across key stakeholder groups and determines whether the allocation aligns with proven benchmarks. The analysis helps assess whether RAY follows a fair and balanced distribution structure or introduces concentration risks.
This section analyzes who holds actual control over the Raydium circulating supply year over year, with a focus on early stages where governance risk is highest. It assesses whether the governance power of RAY is centralized or decentralized, and flags any dominance by insiders or investors.
This section analyzes whether RAY token inflation is sustainable over time. We assess how balanced the vesting and unlock schedules are, and evaluate how inflationary pressure may affect long-term token value, circulating supply growth, and investor dilution.
This section tracks every RAY token unlock and dilution event across the full vesting timeline. We quantify the size and timing of each release, classify dilution risk levels (low, medium, high), and highlight the largest unlock event by date and percentage of total supply. Charts help understand emission pressure and anticipate potential supply shocks.
This section evaluates the circulating supply and emission schedule of RAY, focusing on its initial float at TGE, its dilution profile over time, and how these levels compare with top-performing projects.
This section analyzes whether the RAY token has a clear economic role within the ecosystem, and more importantly, why users would hold it over time instead of treating it as a purely speculative asset. We evaluate what utility the token provides, which functions it enables, and how it solves real problems across the network.
Utility Type | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Governance | RAY enables on-chain governance (via Solana Realms). | |
| Staking (DPoS) | RAY can be staked to earn portion of protocol fees | |
| Access / Feature Unlock | Required for AcceleRaytor IDO participation and LaunchLab access | |
| Gas Fee | Not used for network gas fees | |
| Medium of Exchange | Not used as primary trading pair or internal protocol currency |
Value Accrual | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Staking Rewards | Inflationry coming from mining emissions | |
| Token Buyback | 12% of trading fees are used to buy RAY on the market. | |
| Fee Redistribution | Fees go to LPs (84%) and buybacks (12%), not directly to holders | |
| ve-Token Models | No veRAY or similar model is currently implemented. | |
| Revenue Share | No direct revenue share, revenue is accrued to RAY via buybacks. |
This section is one of the most important layers: it analyzes whether Raydium (RAY) captures and retains on-chain value and how effectively that value flows back to the token. We examine fee redistribution, staking rewards, buyback mechanisms, burn models, and whether the protocol creates real token sinks that reduce sell pressure over time.

Raydium is a pioneering decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol built on the high-speed Solana blockchain. Central to the Raydium ecosystem is its native $RAY token, which unlocks a host of utilities and benefits for users within its innovative platform. Raydium’s Automated Market Maker (AMM) connects directly to OpenBook's central limit order book, offering unprecedented access to decentralized liquidity and enabling optimum pricing through advanced swap route determination. By integrating with Solana's scalable infrastructure, Raydium ensures seamless, low-cost, and ultra-fast transactions for users. The $RAY token plays a crucial role in the ecosystem, serving both as a governance token for protocol-level decisions and a utility token for staking rewards. Holding and staking $RAY allows users to earn additional rewards through liquidity mining and participation incentives, fostering a mutual alignment of interests among community members. The platform empowers other DeFi projects by enabling the permissionless creation of liquidity pools and farms. This feature allows project teams to launch and bootstrap liquidity in a decentralized and efficient manner, solidifying Raydium’s position as a launchpad and liquidity provider within the Solana ecosystem. Raydium has positioned itself as a key player in the DeFi space by focusing on efficient capital allocation and liquidity management. Its integration with OpenBook ensures its liquidity pools benefit from Solana's growing ecosystem, granting access to extensive order flow and deeper market liquidity. The platform's cutting-edge routing algorithms ensure that users always receive the best possible trade execution and price discovery. By staking $RAY or participating in liquidity pools, users contribute directly to the overall health and functionality of the Raydium network while earning competitive APY rewards. Furthermore, as Solana scales its blockchain solutions, Raydium remains primed to leverage the enhanced throughput and lower fees, further boosting its market positioning as an innovative DeFi protocol. Raydium continues to evolve, with $RAY acting as a backbone for governance, network incentives, and ecosystem dynamics. With permissionless accessibility and integration into Solana's rapidly growing DeFi landscape, Raydium remains a cornerstone of decentralized liquidity provisioning, presenting immense potential for projects and individual users alike.
