About Vector Protocol Vector Protocol is a next-generation decentralized exchange (DEX) built natively on Starknet to solve DeFi's biggest challenges: liquidity fragmentation, cross-chain risk, and poor performance.
Our mission is to create a single, unified hub for all of DeFi, serving everyone from first-time swappers to professional trading firms. We achieve this through two core innovations:
Hybrid Liquidity Engine: A seamless integration of a capital-efficient Automated Market Maker (AMM) and a high-performance Central Limit Orderbook (CLOB). This ensures deep liquidity and the best possible price execution for any trade size or style.
Native Asset Supremacy: We are architecting the protocol to support the trustless trading of native Bitcoin and Ethereum, eliminating the systemic risks of wrapped assets and custodial bridges.
By building on Starknet, we leverage the power of ZK-STARKs for unparalleled security, scalability, and an exceptional user experience powered by native Account Abstraction.
Core Repositories This organization houses all the components of the Vector Protocol ecosystem.
contracts: The heart of the protocol. Contains all the Cairo smart contracts for the AMM, CLOB, and cross-chain verifiers.
sdk: A comprehensive TypeScript SDK for easily integrating with and building on top of the Vector Protocol smart contracts.
ui: The official web interface for Vector Protocol, providing a clean, intuitive, and powerful trading experience.
docs: All developer documentation, guides, and API references for the protocol and SDK.
