human-computer interaction from Stanford, and Yutaro Mori (@rawfalafel), a former contributor to Ethereum<br />
2.0 with experience building across the entire crypto stack. They saw an opportunity to leverage the Solana<br />
blockchain’s superior performance to create a core “DeFi lego”: A user-friendly toolkit that enables anyone to<br />
bootstrap their own token economy quickly and easily.<br />
Another of the founders’ goals in creating Orca was to lead the charge among web3 protocols with respect to<br />
broader positive impact. A portion of all trading fees on Orca go to charities working on climate change and<br />
sustainability, and the majority of mint revenue from the Orcanauts NFT launch went to non-profit Aflatoun<br />
International to create a crypto education program for youth.<br />
For more info on Orca’s origins, check out this interview with Ori in Yahoo! Finance and their conversation with<br />
Solana founder Anatoly on the Solana Podcast.<br />
What comes next for Orca?<br />
Orca will soon be launching Community Listings, allowing users to list their own Whirlpools for tokens they love<br />
in the Solana ecosystem!<br />
Further, Orca’s journey towards full decentralization continues. The ORCA community has always been vital to<br />
the protocol’s success, and active community governance proposals are shaping the future of the protocol as<br />
we speak.<br />
