SOL/USD price feed

Every pool in this feed's composition lives on Solana itself. Not most of them: all of them, from the deepest USDC venue down to the last pool in evaluation. Other majors spread their on-chain markets across many networks; the ETH/USD feed in this catalog draws from more than a dozen chains. SOL concentrates everything at home.

For a consumer of the rate that purity is convenient. One chain means one block clock, one fee regime, one settlement path behind every input. There is no bridged variant to reconcile, no wrapped version trading at its own small premium somewhere else. The number describes a single market, whole; nothing needs to be stitched in from anywhere else.

The market itself is anything but quiet. Turnover in these pools runs far ahead of what sits parked in them: SOL changes hands constantly, venue by venue, block by block. A feed here cannot lean on a stale snapshot of one exchange; the composition has to keep pace with a market that never slows down for it.

Dollar-stablecoin pools have long formed the backbone of the book: where SOL trades straight against on-chain dollars, no intermediate step is needed, so the rate in the pool is the rate on this page.

The accent is what makes SOL distinctive: part of the book trades SOL against its own liquid staking tokens. Those venues price the relationship between SOL and staked SOL continuously, so whenever they carry weight the feed holds a live read on Solana's staking economy alongside the dollar rate.

For anyone running staking products the accent cuts both ways: pools of that kind expose the exchange rate between SOL and its staked forms even as they help price SOL, so a drift in one shows up against the other. Two economies, spot plus staking, cross-checking each other inside a single composition.

Honesty about concentration: Solana's liquidity has a habit of piling into a handful of very deep venues; at times a single market has carried a striking share of this feed's weight. When that is the case, pretending otherwise, by force-flattening the weights, would misdescribe the market to make a chart look better.

What keeps any giant honest is everything around it. Dozens of other pools across Orca, Meteora plus Raydium stand beside the deepest venue, so a distortion in one place surfaces as disagreement rather than as truth. The floors push in the same direction: venues that pass discovery holding sizable reserves yet almost no usable depth near the market price stay outside the number. Reserves alone do not make a market.

Concentration is also not destiny. The weights recompute continuously; if Solana's liquidity ever disperses across venues the way Ethereum's dispersed across chains, this page will simply show it happening, week by week. The composition is a mirror, not a monument.

The method in plain terms. Every candidate pool on Solana is discovered, then continuously evaluated. Pools holding real, usable depth enter the composition; each one's influence follows the liquidity it proves at the market price, block by block. Quotes in stablecoins read as dollars directly; quotes in staked SOL resolve through their own markets. What comes out is one rate per block, with the full pool-level breakdown behind it.

The same response carries how much size the rate can absorb on both sides, which turns a price into something a desk can act on. And because every input is a public pool, any number this feed has ever published can be traced back to on-chain state: the venues, the weights, the block. That trace is the difference between quoting a price and standing behind one.

A note on choosing: Solana has no shortage of price sources, from exchange averages to on-chain oracle updates. The question that separates them is not speed but provenance: can the number be decomposed into venues you can inspect? This page is built so that the answer here is always yes.
