About Orca (ORCA)
Orca is a Solana automated market maker known for concentrated-liquidity pools, and one of the venues new tokens trade on before or after graduating from a bonding curve.
Trading Orca on Axiom
Axiom does not run a spot order book of its own. Its documentation describes ORCA swaps being routed across Solana's AMMs, naming 
Raydium, 
Meteora, Orca, and 
PumpSwap for tokens still on a bonding curve, with an execution layer on top: Pulse discovery, MEV protection, wallet and X tracking, and limit orders. The same documentation, read August 2026, puts the base fee at 1%, reduced to as low as 0.75% through SOL cashback tiers. On top of that sits whatever fee the underlying AMM charges on that specific pool. See the full fee breakdown for how the tiers and the referral discount stack.
What should you know before trading ORCA?
Orca's concentrated-liquidity design is the detail that matters when you trade ORCA itself, because it also shapes how your swaps in other tokens behave. Concentrated liquidity means depth is clustered around a price band rather than spread evenly, so a pool can look deep and still deliver poor execution once price moves outside where the liquidity actually sits.
For ORCA the token, that translates into good depth near the current price and thinner conditions during fast moves. Set slippage from the live liquidity figure above rather than from a default, particularly during a volatile session. Axiom routes across Orca among other AMMs, so a swap in almost any Solana token may touch an Orca pool whether or not you hold the token. The design detail is worth understanding for that reason alone.
One more thing specific to Orca. Because the protocol earns from pool fees, ORCA is loosely a claim on Solana swap volume, which puts it in the same broad bucket as RAY. If you hold both, you are holding two versions of the same trade rather than two independent positions. That is worth knowing before sizing either one.
