Multicoin Co-founder: PropAMM is Changing the Perception That 'Decentralization is Slower'
Multicoin Capital co-founder Kyle Samani argues that PropAMM (Proactive Automated Market Maker) is one of the most significant innovations in market microstructure in decades, challenging the long-held belief that decentralized systems are inherently slower than centralized ones.
In traditional centralized exchanges (CEXs), market makers co-locate servers and engage in constant bidirectional communication with the exchange, leading to latency due to data transmission delays. In contrast, PropAMM on Solana runs market-making algorithms directly on the blockchain, eliminating the need for inter-server communication. Price updates occur within the same physical silicon, drastically reducing latency.
PropAMM already offers narrower spreads for SOL-USDC spot trading on Solana than major CEXs. Samani predicts it will dominate on-chain trading for spots, perpetuals, and prediction markets this year. Current challenges include ensuring best execution for takers due to private algorithms and non-deterministic routing across multiple PropAMMs, but solutions from aggregators like Jupiter, dFlow, and Phoenix are expected.
Upcoming Solana upgrades—such as higher compute limits, reduced slot times, and improved network latency—will further enhance PropAMM performance, solidifying its advantage over traditional systems.
