A comprehensive guide to understanding and building on Solana's DeFi ecosystem, covering AMMs, lending protocols, yield farming, and tokenomics.

Overview

The Solana DeFi Handbook provides a thorough introduction to decentralized finance on Solana, explaining both the concepts and technical implementation details. This resource is ideal for developers and protocol designers looking to understand or build DeFi applications on Solana's high-performance blockchain.

The handbook covers:

• Core DeFi primitives on Solana
• Automated market makers, liquidity pools, and orderbooks
• Lending and borrowing protocols
• Staking and yield farming strategies
• Tokenomics design principles
• DeFi protocol security considerations

Unlike Ethereum-based DeFi, Solana's low transaction costs and high throughput enable more capital-efficient protocols with different design considerations, which this handbook thoroughly explores.
