Kamino Finance Introduces Kamino Swap Feature for Solana Users
The team behind Kamino, the largest decentralized exchange on Solana, has announced the launch of Kamino Swap, a feature designed to provide optimal price execution for token swaps on Solana.
Kamino Swap Now In Beta Testing
Currently in beta testing, Kamino Swap addresses issues such as network congestion, account lock limits, and slippage within the Solana exchange ecosystem. The protocol aims to enhance utility in a market primarily influenced by memecoins.
Described as an “intents-based” platform, Kamino Swap allows users to request specific app interactions like bank transfers or trade executions. It will utilize real-time data from Pyth Network to ensure competitive pricing and fees for Solana-based assets, benefiting both liquidators and traders.
The initiative was originally intended to improve the efficiency and profitability of Kamino Lend. The new limit order mechanism enables liquidators to earn more while minimizing borrowers' losses. Previously, liquidators faced high costs due to complex onboarding requirements.
KamiLimit Orders allow Solana users to place orders that exceed their asking rate. This system broadcasts trades to a network of searchers via Pyth Express Relay, avoiding limitations associated with DEXs or aggregators, such as liquidity issues and protocol fees.
Searchers, sophisticated market participants, seek arbitrage opportunities across cryptocurrencies. When a swap is broadcast, an auction occurs where searchers compete to execute the transaction, with the winning searcher providing the best execution price and the highest tip.
This approach transforms the trading landscape by enabling users to outbid each other for trades, ensuring optimal prices. The beta version currently supports #SOL and #USDC, with plans to expand to additional tokens.
Kamino Finance Expands Lending Capital
The launch of Kamino Swap follows a recent decision to raise the global borrowing cap for PYUSD to $20 million, reflecting growing demand for lending services in the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) sector.
Kamino aims to enhance its PYUSD lending capabilities within the Ethena Labs market, maintaining a competitive borrowing rate of 2.07% while doubling the market borrowing maximum to $10 million.
This strategy highlights the platform's growth ambitions and commitment to addressing rising demands for lending solutions in DeFi, achieved without compromising stability and reliability.
