DRIFT Swap

What is DRIFT token

Trading the governance and utility asset of the premier Solana derivatives protocol starts by pulling up the correct mint address. The contract is DriFtupJYLTosbwoN8koMbEYSx54aFAVLddWsbksjwg7 on Solana. That exact string protects you from copycats. It trades at $0.0126 today. That price reflects a modest +3.63% gain over the last twenty-four hours. Market capitalization sits at $7.72M right now.

That valuation comes from a circulating supply of 611,515,824 tokens. Total supply maxes out at 999,998,416 units. The asset uses 6 decimals for precise math. It officially listed around 2024-05-14, which was about 802 days ago. Category-wise, it spans Solana Ecosystem, Decentralized Finance, Derivatives, and Prediction Markets.

DRIFT tokenomics and safety

Security checks on this asset show reassuring parameters. Mint authority is disabled, meaning no new supply can ever enter circulation. Freeze authority is also disabled, so balances cannot be frozen by any deployer. Top holders control 54.1% of the total supply. That concentration requires attention before you swap. Jupiter assigns it a low organic-activity rating alongside full verification status.

Verixia issues a Safety Read grade of C with a score of 71 out of 100. That designates medium risk overall. The verdict highlights solid safety checks alongside thin liquidity. Verified receipts behind that grade include revoked minting, missing freeze authority, and the verified status. Unverifiable items include the exact dev wallet and launch bundling patterns. A clean read never confirms price action.

Liquidity venues and fill quality

Market depth for this token is split across multiple automated market makers. Orca holds the deepest pool for the DRIFT/SOL pair at $25.8K. Another Orca pool for DRIFT/JITOSOL adds $7.3K in depth. Meteora handles the DRIFT/USDC pair at $6.0K of liquidity. Meteora also hosts a DRIFT/SOL pool with $5.4K. Seventeen smaller pools make up the remainder of the ecosystem.

Total tracked liquidity across these venues rests at $63.9K. That shallow depth means large orders will suffer from noticeable slippage. You should check routing carefully before submitting a major transaction. Thin order books amplify price impact instantly. Smaller size executes cleanly without moving the book too far.

Price action and trade flow

Volume over the last day reached $8.5K across all connected pools. Recent trade flow recorded 139 buys versus 114 sells. Buys accounted for 55% of the total recorded transactions. Short-term price action moved +0.32% over the last hour. Across the six-hour window, the asset climbed +1.78%. The twenty-four-hour trajectory shows a steady +3.20% gain.

That steady buy pressure drives the current upward drift in price. Buyers currently outpace sellers on the order books. Momentum remains positive across all tracked intraday windows. Market participants continue accumulating through active routing venues.
