Archer Exchange
Archer Exchange is a Solana-based market making infrastructure protocol that implements fully on-chain matching through a novel architecture: each market maker gets a dedicated order book that only they can write to, while execution remains permissionless. Co-founded by Dhrumil (@mmdhrumil), the design was inspired by observing that "prop AMMs did extremely well" — translating proprietary AMM control into a permissionless infrastructure primitive.

Relationship to KB
Archer provides the market making infrastructure layer that could enable permissionless leverage on metaDAO ecosystem tokens catalyzes trading volume and price discovery that strengthens governance by making futarchy markets more liquid. The dedicated-book-per-MM model represents a novel mechanism design pattern sitting between pure AMM pooling and traditional centralized matching.
