I. Project Overview

Project Positioning

Meteora is a decentralized liquidity infrastructure protocol built on the Solana (SOL) network. Its goal is to provide a reusable, composable, and efficient liquidity layer for the Solana ecosystem. The project aims to launch products such as the Dynamic Liquidity Market Maker (DLMM), Dynamic AMM Pools, and Dynamic Vaults to address challenges like low capital efficiency, high slippage, and limited yield in traditional AMMs.

Project Vision

Meteora’s vision is to “rebuild confidence in Solana DeFi” and to become Solana’s capital allocation layer.

Core Value Proposition

Enhance LPs’ capital efficiency while reducing risks such as impermanent loss and front-running
Provide a composable liquidity infrastructure for token launches, liquidity pools, and stablecoin markets
Integrate deeply with the Solana ecosystem, leveraging its high speed and low transaction costs

Project Background

Originally launched as Mercurial Finance (MER), the project was restructured and migrated to MET following the collapse of FTX.
Rebranded as Meteora, it began rebuilding its ecosystem in 2023.
By 2025, Meteora manages hundreds of millions in TVL and ranks among the most active DeFi protocols on Solana.

II. Products & Technical Architecture

Core Products

DLMM (Dynamic Liquidity Market Maker)

Combines the advantages of AMMs and order books with concentrated liquidity and dynamic fee adjustments
Automatically optimizes fee rates and liquidity distribution during periods of high market volatility

Dynamic AMM Pools

Idle AMM assets are automatically lent through partner protocols to generate additional yield

Dynamic Vaults

Act as automated asset managers that reallocate liquidity across various DeFi protocols

Multi-Token Stable Pools

Support more than two assets, making them ideal for stablecoin baskets and wrapped tokens

Technical Highlights

Built on Solana, ensuring high throughput and low transaction costs
Modular architecture enables developers to quickly deploy new pools or liquidity campaigns
Features dynamic fees, anti-sandwich protection, and efficient liquidity concentration for a more secure and capital-efficient trading experience.

Risks & Challenges

High smart contract complexity may increase operational risks
Network outages and security concerns on Solana remain potential vulnerabilities
Faces strong competition from platforms like Raydium, Jupiter Exchange, and other Solana-based DeFi protocols

III. Tokenomics

Token Utility

Token Ticker: MET (governance and utility token)
Use Cases: Holders can participate in DAO governance, stake tokens, and enjoy fee discounts
Revenue Sharing: Platform fees—such as those generated from Vaults—may be used for token buybacks or distributed to holders

Supply & Allocation

Total Supply: 1 billion MET
Unlocked at TGE: 48%:

20% to Mercurial stakeholders (15% to stakers, 5% to reserves)
15% to Meteora users through LP incentives
3% to Launchpads and the Launchpool ecosystem
2% to off-chain contributors
3% to Jupiter stakers
3% to CEXs and partners
2% to M3M3 stakeholders

Locked: 52%

18% allocated to the team, released linearly over 6 years
34% reserved for the protocol treasury, released linearly over 6 years

Value Capture

Holders can earn through governance participation, staking, and liquidity provision
Buyback and burn mechanisms help enhance token scarcity and long-term value
Robust LP incentives support sustainable liquidity growth across the ecosystem

IV. Team & Ecosystem

The founding team has previous ties to Jupiter Exchange
The project has released a public roadmap and a “Meteora Plan” migration strategy outlining its long-term vision

V. Roadmap
