About Serum

Serum was a decentralized exchange protocol on Solana built by the FTX team that used a central limit order book (CLOB) — rare in DeFi, which typically uses AMMs. Serum's on-chain order book allowed other Solana DEXes like Raydium to plug in and access shared liquidity. SRM was the utility and governance token, with MSRM (mega SRM) providing reduced fees for high-volume traders. Following the collapse of FTX in November 2022, the community forked Serum into OpenBook, as the original Serum admin keys were compromised. SRM and Serum effectively became legacy tokens after the FTX collapse.
