What it actually costs to sell RAY
Selling $100,000 of RAY into each exchange’s resting bids, measured against the mid price:
| Exchange | Lost | Got back | Measured |

Exchange figures need an account there (and KYC, a permitted country, the tokens already deposited), are before trading fees, and are never averaged with the on-chain figure. Binance is not included: it refuses requests from the region our servers are in. How this is measured →
Watch this number instead of remembering it. A free account keeps RAY on a list, records where it stood the day you added it, and emails you if selling it on these exchanges gets materially harder — one message, not a series. The measurement itself stays public; the account is for being told when it moves without you looking.
What Raydium is
Raydium is an automated market maker (AMM) and liquidity provider built on the Solana blockchain for the Serum decentralized exchange. It was positioned as an early AMM within the Serum ecosystem, intended to act as a bridge for projects expanding onto Solana and Serum, with the RAY token serving as a foundation for that development.
Raydium's distinguishing mechanism, per its own description, is that it supplies on-chain liquidity directly to a central limit orderbook rather than operating a siloed liquidity pool. This means liquidity providers on Raydium are exposed to the order flow of the broader Serum orderbook, rather than only to trades routed through Raydium itself. The stated long-term aim is to hold a leadership position among AMMs on Serum while using Solana's infrastructure to support DeFi activity more broadly.
What this amounts to depends heavily on Serum, the orderbook venue Raydium was built around — the source describes a dependency, not a self-contained design, and says nothing about what happens to that mechanism if Serum's role changes. CoinGecko's classification places RAY across DEX, AMM, yield farming, perpetuals, launchpad and Solana-ecosystem categories, which indicates a protocol that has broadened beyond a single function rather than one with a narrow, fixed purpose — useful to know, but not a guarantee of performance in any of those areas. Raydium is deployed on a single chain, Solana, so its liquidity, uptime and usage are tied to that network's conditions rather than spread across multiple chains. Nothing in the source states token supply, revenue mechanics, or governance rights for RAY holders, and none should be assumed.

RAY can be staked in the Raydium app, and the rewards are paid in more RAY.

RAY does not run applications. It is a token on Solana. A portion of Raydium's trading fees is used to buy it back, and the docs say RAY is not needed to swap or to use Raydium.

RAY has a maximum supply of 555 million, and the authority to create more is disabled. About 1.9 million a year is still released from a reserve set aside inside that total.

Where RAY lives
On Solana, a mint authority can create more of the token and a freeze authority can freeze it in a holder's account; both are read from the token itself, every day. Where a token exists on several chains, one copy's settings say nothing about the original coin.
Always verify a contract address against the project's own site before sending anything. Addresses are shown as published by CoinGecko, not as an endorsement — and identical-looking tokens on other chains are the most common way people lose money here.
