anchored·3uF89y…jzybSummary
Lifinity was a proactive market maker and oracle-based decentralized exchange built on Solana, operating from February 2022 until it voluntarily shut down in December 2025 after processing approximately $150 billion in lifetime trading volume. The protocol was notable for its use of Pyth oracle pricing instead of traditional AMM mechanics, a no-VC community-funded launch via a veIDO, and a transparent wind-down that distributed roughly $43.4 million in treasury assets to LFNTY token holders. Risk factors include an anonymous pseudonymous founder operating as 'Durden' or 'durdenwannabe,' a $699,090 pool drainage incident in December 2023 caused by a protocol-level bug, and structural dependence on the Pyth oracle as a single external pricing dependency.
