Our verdict on Serum

Serum may interest readers researching Solana DEXs or the SRM token, but its current trading status is unclear. Its main identifiable feature is its Solana DEX positioning; the project does not publish current fees, and no audits are listed. Before using any interface associated with Serum, verify that it is official and active, and review its markets and transaction details. Without those checks, it is difficult to assess whether Serum is suitable for trading today.

How Serum works
