Exclusive: Saros launches new liquidity model v3 to reform Solana DeFi

Saros, a decentralized finance protocol on Solana, announced on Thursday the launch of its new Dynamic Liquidity Market Maker v3 model.

The upgrade, exclusively reported by crypto.news on April 24, is built to enhance trading efficiency, decentralization, and platform resilience within the Solana (SOL) blockchain ecosystem.

This DLMM upgrade is part of Saros’ 2025 roadmap that focuses on infrastructure and application-level improvements. The new model introduces custom liquidity provision ranges and higher LP fee potential, aligning with strategies that have driven growth in ecosystems beyond Solana.

DLMM arrives amid calls for DeFi reform

The launch is in response to major collapses tied to centralized DeFi exchanges and figures such as Hayden Davis of Kelsier who was on the receiving end of an Interpol “Red Notice” for his alleged role in the Libra (LIBRA) coin fiasco and other scandals.

“Our implementation of DLMM technology aims to strengthen the integrity of the Solana DeFi landscape by providing a more decentralized and robust alternative that reduces systemic risk while fostering genuine free-market competition,” Thanh Le, Saros founder, said in the press relaese.

Saros collaborated with the original creators of v3 from TraderJoe to bring what Le described as “the most well tested, innovative, and robust version of the REAL v3 technology to Solana.”

Fast-tracked launch and early adopter rewards

With Saros working to match Solana’s reputation for speed, development of the DLMM system has been accelerated. A beta version is expected to go live in mid-May 2025, and early tech previews will be shared during the Token 2049 conference.

The company also introduced a $SAROS staking initiative set for launch on April 28. Stakers will gain early access to alpha/beta features, airdrops, and launchpad participation.
