Archer Exchange
Archer Exchange is a Solana-based market making infrastructure protocol that implements fully on-chain matching through dedicated, writable-only-by-you order books for each market maker. Co-founded by Dhrumil (@mmdhrumil), Archer's architecture separates write authority (exclusive per MM) from execution authority (permissionless), creating a competitive quotes model where the protocol routes to best execution across isolated MM order books. The design was inspired by the observation that "prop AMMs did extremely well," suggesting dedicated liquidity venues produce superior execution compared to shared order book or pooled liquidity models.
