Drift is the governance token of the Solana perpetual futures exchange that launched as Drift Protocol and, since July 1, 2026, trades under the name Velocity. The exchange runs onchain: orders are stored as Solana accounts in a decentralized limit order book, an offchain network of keepers and market makers watches them, and anyone can submit the transaction that fills one.
DRIFT itself is a plain SPL token. Reading its mint account directly on Solana on 2026-09-11 returns 6 decimals with both the mint authority and the freeze authority set to null. That is a verifiable property rather than a marketing claim: no new DRIFT can be issued, and no holder balance can be frozen by the issuer.

The older drift.trade marketing site is still online but describes the pre-2026 product. The application address app.drift.trade now redirects to velocity.exchange.
Drift was founded in 2021 by Cindy Leow and David Lu, with Chris Heaney among the early engineers. The first product, launched in November 2021, was a pure virtual AMM. Drift v2, released in November 2022, replaced that with the order book and auction design the protocol still uses.
The DRIFT governance token was announced on April 16, 2024 with an issuance of 1,000,000,000 tokens scheduled over five years: 53 percent to the community, including a 10 percent launch airdrop and 43 percent for ecosystem and trading incentives; 25 percent to protocol development, with core contributors under an 18 month lock followed by 18 month vesting; and 22 percent to strategic participants.
On April 1, 2026 the protocol suffered one of the largest incidents in Solana's history. Independent analyses place losses between roughly 280 and 295 million dollars and describe the method as social engineering of multisig signers combined with Solana durable nonces, allowing an attacker to take admin control, whitelist a worthless token as collateral, and withdraw real assets. Published accounts agree it was not a smart contract flaw. The team rebuilt and relaunched under the Velocity name on July 1, 2026, moved the quote asset from USDC to USDT, and reported a credit facility from Tether as part of a user recovery program.
Decentralized limit order book Orders are onchain accounts rather than rows in an operator database. There is no central matching engine, and fills are permissionless transactions.
Dutch auction on entry A new order carries a short auction where the price starts favorable to the taker and walks toward the limit price while makers compete to fill it.
Three parallel liquidity sources Resting book orders, just in time quotes from market makers, and the protocol's own AMM can each fill an order, operating alongside one another rather than in sequence.
Cross margin plus a money market Collateral sits in one account that backs every position, and spot markets double as a borrow and lend market with utilization based interest rates.
Program identity is worth checking before interacting with anything. The Drift program is dRiftyHA39MWEi3m9aunc5MzRF1JYuBsbn6VPcn33UH and the Velocity program is vELoC1audYbSYVRXn1vPaV8Axoa9oU6BYmNGZZBDZ1P. Both were confirmed as deployed, executable programs on 2026-09-11. Velocity is documented as a separate deployment rather than an upgrade: no onchain state was carried over, every derived account address differs, and the Drift program is described as paused.
This section needs plain language rather than a feature list. Under Drift, DRIFT governed protocol parameters through a multi branch DAO: a Realms DAO for general development, a Security Council for risk parameters, fees, leverage, listings and upgrades, and a futarchy DAO that used conditional markets to fund grants. Staked DRIFT, known as sDRIFT, granted trading fee discounts and a share of revenue.
Under Velocity that picture has narrowed. The published fee schedule is purely volume based, quoted in USDT, and makes no reference to token staking. The insurance fund is documented as fully staker owned with no protocol share. As of a documentation sitemap check on 2026-09-11, the Velocity documentation contains no DRIFT or sDRIFT page at all. Readers should treat the token's role in the relaunched exchange as undocumented rather than assume the older utility carried across, and confirm current governance scope through the Drift Foundation directly.
Compared with other derivatives venues, the structural choices are distinct. Hyperliquid runs a purpose built Layer 1 with its own matching engine. dYdX moved to a dedicated Cosmos application chain with validator run order books. Drift instead remained a program on a general purpose Layer 1, inheriting Solana's block times, fees and composability, and also Solana's congestion and outage history.
Security rests on the Solana validator set, on the audited program code, and on the administrative controls around that code. The v2 codebase carries earlier audits from Trail of Bits and Neodyme, which the forked Velocity codebase inherits. The April 2026 incident is the clearest available lesson: the failure was not in the contracts but in privileged access, a low multisig threshold and the absence of a timelock. Any assessment of this protocol should weigh the current signer set, threshold and delay policy more heavily than an audit count.
Drift was for a long period the largest open source perpetual futures venue on Solana, and its combination of an onchain order book with auction and AMM liquidity influenced how onchain derivatives are built. It now also matters as a case study: a protocol whose contracts held up while its human key management did not, and which is attempting a documented rebuild rather than a quiet shutdown.
DRIFT trades on centralized exchanges and on Solana decentralized exchanges. Availability, pairs and eligibility vary by jurisdiction and by venue policy following the 2026 incident.
DRIFT has been listed on venues including:
Always confirm the mint address before trading a Solana asset, because tickers are not unique.
Verify that you are holding the SPL mint with 6 decimals and a revoked mint authority rather than a look alike token.
