Meteora primary sources — 2026-04-28

Project

  • Name: Meteora
  • URL: https://www.meteora.ag/
  • Category: Solana liquidity infrastructure / AMM suite / token-launch and anti-sniper tooling / LP control plane
  • Whitepaper status: No canonical standalone Meteora whitepaper or litepaper found in this pass.

Primary sources reviewed

  1. Docs homepage: https://docs.meteora.ag/

    • Presents Meteora as a broad product suite, not a single liquidity primitive.
    • Shows core products including DLMM, DAMM v2, DAMM v1, and DBC.
    • Also shows wrapper/helper products including Presale Vault, Alpha Vault, Stake2Earn, Dynamic Vault, Meteora Lock, Dynamic Fee Sharing, and Zap.
    • Highlights Quick Launch and Invent / Metsumi tooling for launching and managing pools.

  2. Documentation index: https://docs.meteora.ag/llms.txt

    • Exposes a very broad docs corpus spanning product explainers, developer guides, APIs, analytics endpoints, SDK integration pages, and anti-sniper features.
    • Useful evidence that the docs themselves are the canonical primary-source surface.

  3. DLMM overview: https://docs.meteora.ag/overview/products/dlmm/what-is-dlmm

    • Says DLMM organizes liquidity into discrete price bins with zero-slippage swaps inside each bin.
    • Emphasizes dynamic fees during volatility, flexible liquidity-shape strategies, and launch-pool usage for new token launches.
    • Important for understanding Meteora as a specialized liquidity-and-launch stack rather than a generic AMM.

  4. DAMM v2 overview: https://docs.meteora.ag/overview/products/damm-v2/what-is-damm-v2

    • Describes DAMM v2 as a concentrated-liquidity constant-product AMM with custom ranges, fee modes, NFT-backed positions, built-in farming, liquidity vesting, and anti-sniper controls.
    • Includes concrete deployment addresses and explicit mechanics for swaps, position locking, and farming rewards.
    • Strong evidence of a full LP control-plane surface.

  5. Invent / Actions docs: https://docs.meteora.ag/developer-guide/invent/actions

    • Shows Meteora packaging launch and operational flows into a toolkit called Meteora Invent.
    • Covers actions across DLMM, DAMM v1/v2, DBC, Alpha Vault, and Presale Vault.
    • Makes clear that Meteora is also shipping operator-facing launch tooling, not just onchain programs.

  6. GitHub organization: https://github.com/MeteoraAg

    • Verified to control the meteora.ag domain.
    • Pinned repositories include DAMM V2, Dynamic Bonding Curve, DAMM v1 SDK, DAMM v2 SDK, DLMM SDK, and docs.
    • Strong evidence of an active multi-repo developer and protocol stack.

  7. Docs repository README: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MeteoraAg/docs/main/README.md

    • Lightweight, but confirms the docs repo is first-party and actively maintained.

  8. DAMM v2 SDK README: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MeteoraAg/damm-v2-sdk/main/README.md

    • Documents the SDK as the integration surface for creating pools, managing positions, adding/removing liquidity, swapping, and claiming rewards.
    • Includes deployment addresses for mainnet-beta and devnet.

Takeaways

  • Meteora is best cataloged as a multi-product Solana liquidity-and-launch control plane rather than a single AMM brand.
  • The broad product family matters: discrete-bin liquidity, concentrated-liquidity AMMs, bonding curves, vault wrappers, anti-sniper tooling, analytics APIs, SDKs, and launch tooling all sit under one first-party surface.
  • No classic whitepaper was necessary to understand the stack; the docs + GitHub corpus are the real source of truth.
