Introduction
Orbit Finance DLMM, short for Dynamic Liquidity Market Maker, is the engine that powers trading and liquidity on Solana and the Orbit App ecosystem.
If you have ever traded on a decentralised exchange and wondered what actually happens behind the scenes, this is it. DLMM is the system that matches buyers and sellers, sets prices, and moves assets, all without a central order book or middleman.
Instead of relying on traditional order books like centralised exchanges, or older AMM models that spread liquidity too thin, Orbit Finance DLMM uses a structured liquidity system built for efficiency. Liquidity comes from users who deposit their tokens into pools, and these pools make it possible for anyone to trade directly on-chain.
Think of it like running a shop. You do not stock the same amount of inventory at every possible price. You stock more where customers are likely to buy and less where they are not. Orbit Finance DLMM lets liquidity behave the same way.
Orbit Finance DLMM is designed to make trading smoother for traders and more rewarding for liquidity providers. It adapts to market conditions, manages risk intelligently and helps capital work harder instead of sitting idle.
Whether you are making your first swap or managing serious liquidity, Orbit Finance DLMM is built to feel predictable, efficient, and fair.
How Orbit Finance DLMM Thinks About Liquidity
At the core of Orbit Finance DLMM is directional liquidity positioning. Instead of treating all liquidity the same, pools can be configured as:
- Ask-heavy pools
These pools are designed for sellers. More liquidity is positioned on the sell side. This is useful for token distributions, product releases, or situations where supply is expected to come online over time.

- Bid-heavy pools
These pools are designed for buyers. More liquidity sits on the buy side. This is useful when demand is expected to increase, such as during accumulation phases, buyback programs, or early access periods.

- Balanced pools
These pools are neutral. Liquidity is distributed evenly on both sides of the price. This is ideal for active markets where trading flows in both directions and stability is preferred.

- Bid-ask
These pools are neutral and liquidity is distributed evenly on both sides of the price. This is ideal for active markets where trading flows in both directions and stability is preferred.
Bid-ask pools emphasise clear separation between buyers and sellers. They make spreads visible and predictable, which helps traders understand where demand ends and supply begins, and helps issuers maintain orderly price formation.

- Spot
These pools are neutral and liquidity is distributed evenly on both sides of the price. This is ideal for active markets where trading flows in both directions and stability is preferred.
Spot pools concentrate liquidity tightly around the current price. As long as trades remain within the active range, execution is highly precise and price movement is minimal, making this setup well suited for integrations and high-frequency activity.

- Curve
These pools are neutral and liquidity is distributed evenly on both sides of the price. This is ideal for active markets where trading flows in both directions and stability is preferred.
Curve pools spread liquidity gradually across a wider range instead of clustering near spot. This allows the market to absorb larger moves smoothly over time and supports more passive, long-term liquidity strategies.

This simple framing makes pool behaviour easier to reason about. Traders understand how liquidity is positioned. Liquidity providers understand what kind of flow they are exposed to. Companies understand how markets will behave over time.
Key features of Orbit Finance DLMM
Orbit Finance DLMM is not just a trading system. It is infrastructure for building real financial products on-chain.
- Bin-Based Architecture
Liquidity with structure and control. Orbit Finance DLMM organises liquidity into discrete price bins. Each bin represents liquidity available at a specific price and trades move through bins instead of reshaping the entire pool. This reduces unnecessary price impact and makes execution more predictable. For liquidity providers, bins make strategy explicit. You choose where to participate and how aggressive you want to be. For applications, bins make markets easier to model and explain.
- Adaptive Fees
Fees respond to market conditions. When markets are calm, fees stay low and trading stays efficient. When volatility increases, fees adjust upward to compensate liquidity providers for increased risk. This encourages liquidity to stay in the pool during stressful moments instead of disappearing when it is needed most. It works similarly to insurance pricing. Riskier periods cost more, but they also pay more.
- Predictable Execution
Less surprise, more confidence. Older AMMs shift prices with every trade. This leads to slippage and uncertainty. Orbit Finance DLMM executes trades at defined price levels as long as liquidity is available in the active bin. This makes prices easier to anticipate and trades easier to trust. For traders, the price you see is much closer to the price you get. For products, this creates cleaner market behaviour.
- Built for Permissioned and Public Markets
Orbit Finance DLMM supports both open pools and permissioned pools.
Permissioned pools allow:
Verified issuers
Controlled access
Clear pool rules that do not change unexpectedly
This is essential for companies, structured products, and regulated use cases that cannot rely on fully open markets.
Public pools remain available for permissionless trading and experimentation. Both live on the same underlying system.
Why Orbit Finance DLMM Exists
Most DeFi liquidity systems are built only for trading but we build Orbit Finance DLMM for products.
That includes:
Funding rounds
Token releases
Yield periods
Buybacks
Controlled exits
Investor protection
By making liquidity programmable, directional, and verifiable on-chain, Orbit Finance turns liquidity into infrastructure instead of speculation.
