# Introducing DefiTuna

## Our Mission

The team comes from a DeFi centric background where earliest primitives were always pushed to their limits. We've decided to contribute to the space by putting all of our collective experience together to bring about a change to this space!

## How DefiTuna Works

When you trade on DefiTuna, you’re using our Spot Market.

* Traders can place Maker orders (also known as limit orders) or Taker orders (buy/sell instantly). They can also open leveraged spot positions (learn more [here](https://docs.defituna.com/dive-into-defituna/trade/onboarding/how-to-open-a-leveraged-spot-position)).

But behind every trade, there’s Liquidity Pools.

* Liquidity Providers deposit their tokens into these pools.
* The pools automatically execute buy and sell orders, making Liquidity Providers the true market makers.

Behind every Liquidity Provider stands a Lender, fueling deeper markets.

* By supplying assets, Lenders give Liquidity Providers and Traders the ability to add leverage to their positions.
* This makes the market more liquid, more efficient, and gives lenders attractive yields in return.

**This synergy is what makes DefiTuna unique: a complete ecosystem where every participant reinforces the others**

## The Bigger Picture

At DefiTuna, everything comes together in one place: Traders, Liquidity Providers, and Lenders.\
This three-pronged design gives everyone a seat at the market — whether you’re trading, farming, or lending.

By combining a Spot Market with Liquidity Provision and a Lending layer, we create a complete, self-reinforcing ecosystem.

* Traders get the most efficient and reliable DEX experience.
* Liquidity Providers gain powerful tools to farm, hedge, and leverage.
* Lenders enjoy attractive yields while enabling deeper liquidity.

**All of this serves one ambition: to deliver the most efficient and reliable AMM on Solana. And if we’re not delivering the best User Experience — we’ve failed.**
