Raydium is an automated market maker and liquidity provider built on the Solana blockchain. It provides on-chain liquidity to a central limit orderbook. This allows liquidity providers to access order flow and existing liquidity on the Serum decentralized exchange.

Buying RAY requires attention to the network used. The token exists on both Solana and the BNB Smart Chain (BEP20). Sending tokens to the wrong network address can result in a permanent loss of funds. We recommend verifying the contract address through official sources before any transfer.

Step-by-step buying checklist

Follow these steps to reduce the risk of errors during the purchase process.

Select a verified exchange from the list above.
Check the KYC requirements for your specific country. For example, BitMart, WEEX, and MEXC have specific lists of supported and banned countries.
Confirm which network the exchange uses for RAY. If you are moving tokens to a private wallet, ensure the wallet supports either Solana or BEP20.
Verify the contract address. For BNB Smart Chain, the address is 0x13b6A55662f6591f8B8408Af1C73B017E32eEdB8. For Solana, it is 4k3Dyjzvzp8eMZWUXbBCjEvwSkkk59S5iCNLY3QrkX6R.
Perform a small test transfer before moving a large balance.

Fees, liquidity, and withdrawal checks

Trading costs vary by platform. MEXC and WEEX list 0 fees for RAY/USDT pairs. BitMart lists a trading fee of 0.25.

Liquidity is verified for the routes listed in this guide. However, deposit and withdrawal support is not verified for most of these exchanges. You should check the current status of the wallet on the exchange's deposit page before sending funds.

Before buying: route and token risks

There are specific risks associated with Raydium that you should consider.

Our research shows that Raydium was exploited for $1.34M. This occurred via fake LP tokens on deprecated Solana pools. This event suggests that outdated or unmaintained pool configurations in the ecosystem can create vulnerabilities.

Other risks include:

Network confusion. Users often mistake the BEP20 version of a token for the native Solana version.
Contract fraud. Using a lookalike contract address can lead to total loss of funds.
Withdrawal limits. Many exchanges have internal limits or temporary suspensions of withdrawals that are not listed in public API data.

Sources and methodology

The routes in this guide come only from verified market-pair rows in our database. We use web research and news reports to provide background on exploits and risks. Information from CoinMarketCap pages is treated as low-confidence context and is not used as proof of fees or contract safety.

We omit live market values, such as price and 24h volume, because these figures change too frequently to remain accurate in a static guide.
