Honestly, when talking about RAY coin (the token of the Raydium platform) in the crypto space, you basically can't avoid the Solana ecosystem. Simply put, it is one of the veteran DEX (decentralized exchanges) leaders on the Solana chain. If you have friends playing with memecoins, mining, or various new coins on the Solana chain, chances are they will be using Raydium. A few frequently discussed points: Riding the wave with the Solana ecosystem: When the Solana chain is active and on-chain transaction volume is high (especially during the previous memecoin frenzy), Raydium, as one of the largest market makers and DEXs on the chain, sees its fee income and popularity rise accordingly. This is why when people are optimistic about RAY, the usual logic is "If the Solana ecosystem is good, RAY won't be lonely." Empowerment and tokenomics: What can RAY mainly be used for? The most common uses are staking to earn rewards or participating in platform governance voting. Additionally, part of the platform's fee revenue is used for buybacks or distribution, which provides a basic support force for the coin price. Advantages and strengths: It is not just an ordinary DEX; its greatest strength initially was its deep integration with the order books on the Solana chain (like the former Serum), providing excellent liquidity and fast trading speed
