Arkham launches hybrid DEX on Solana

Arkham launched a hybrid decentralized exchange integrated into its Intel platform on Solana. The platform lets users discover, filter and trade Solana tokens and execute orders without leaving Arkham.

The trading functionality is built exclusively for the Solana ecosystem and links Arkham’s investigative token intelligence with order execution. Arkham says the integration supports low-latency, high-frequency activity by keeping discovery and execution in one interface.

Arkham first moved into trading in late 2024 with Arkham Exchange, which offered centralized services including spot and perpetual trading but recorded limited volume. Earlier this year the company shifted from a centralized exchange model to a decentralized approach and folded execution into its existing Intel product.

On the platform, traders can search for tokens, apply filters based on on-chain indicators and execute trades directly on Solana. The architecture is intended to reduce latency compared with cross-chain or off-platform workflows by relying on Solana’s fast block times for order processing.

Market data show Solana had about $921 million in 24-hour spot DEX volume on the most recent day of available reporting and led seven-day DEX volume, approaching $46 billion on a monthly basis. Active DEXs on the network include Orca, Raydium, Manifest Trade, Meteora and Pump.

Developer activity on Solana has grown in recent years. Reports indicate Solana’s share of active developers rose from roughly 6% in 2020 to about 23% in 2026. In 2025 Solana represented 28% of hobbyist developers and added around 4,100 new developers, compared with about 3,700 for Ethereum and 2,500 for Base. The Solana dApp store lists more than 700 applications. In March, the Solana Foundation launched a developer platform used by early adopters including Mastercard, Worldpay and Western Union.

Arkham did not disclose trading volume targets or a broader rollout timeline beyond the initial Solana integration. The company integrated execution into its intelligence tools to place Arkham directly in the on-chain trading workflow for Solana tokens.
