# Archer Exchange
|
|
|
|
Archer Exchange is a Solana-based market making infrastructure protocol that implements fully on-chain matching through dedicated order books for each market maker. Co-founded by Dhrumil (@mmdhrumil), Archer solves the state contention problem in on-chain order books by giving each MM exclusive write access to their own book while enabling permissionless execution across all books for best quote discovery.
|
|
|
|
The architecture was inspired by the observation that "prop AMMs did extremely well"—suggesting that giving liquidity providers dedicated, controlled state produces better outcomes than shared liquidity pools. This design philosophy positions Archer as infrastructure for the MetaDAO ecosystem and other protocols requiring liquid secondary markets for governance tokens and conditional tokens.

## Relationship to KB
|
|
- Provides market making infrastructure for [[MetaDAO is the futarchy launchpad on Solana where projects raise capital through unruggable ICOs governed by conditional markets creating the first platform for ownership coins at scale|MetaDAO's conditional token markets]]
|
|
- Implements mechanism design pattern of dedicated state per participant (similar to Uniswap v3 concentrated liquidity)
|
|
- Supports [[permissionless leverage on metaDAO ecosystem tokens catalyzes trading volume and price discovery that strengthens governance by making futarchy markets more liquid|permissionless leverage infrastructure]] for governance tokens |
