Solrise DEX Pro 🌞
Solrise DEX Pro is our way of bridging the world of institutions to DeFi without resorting to centralization. With Solana already being the most familiar DeFi ecosystem for traditional finance, we expect to become one of the primary hubs for institutions that wish to jump into the ecosystem. This permissioned DEX allows us to establish a parallel ecosystem of permissioned protocols.
