Kyle Samani Is Back: This Time, We're Outperforming CEX in Efficiency!
Kyle Samani, former co-founder of Multicoin Capital, has returned to advocate for PropAMM, a breakthrough in market microstructure innovation on Solana. He argues that PropAMM could surpass traditional centralized exchanges (CEXs) in efficiency by hosting market maker algorithms directly on the blockchain, eliminating latency from bidirectional communication between exchanges and market makers.
In CEXs, market makers co-locate servers and constantly exchange data with the exchange, leading to delays. In contrast, PropAMM runs algorithms on the same physical hardware as the Solana blockchain, allowing price updates to occur almost instantaneously within the same silicon chip. This reduces latency significantly compared to traditional systems.
Currently, PropAMM already offers narrower spreads for SOL-USDC spot trading than major CEXs. Samani expects it to dominate on-chain trading this year, including spots, perpetuals, and prediction markets. Challenges remain in ensuring best execution for takers due to private algorithms and non-deterministic routing, but solutions from aggregators like Jupiter and dFlow are anticipated.
Upcoming Solana upgrades—such as higher compute limits, reduced slot times, and lower network latency—will further enhance PropAMM performance, solidifying its advantage over CEXs.
