Overview
Drift is an open-source decentralized perpetual-swaps exchange built on Solana.

The Solana programs and SDK are public on GitHub. Leverage levels and performance are not verified here.

This is the share of our daily checks that succeeded — not an availability guarantee. A check can fail because the host was down, because our runner timed out, or because the network in between dropped it, and only the first of those is a fact about this project. Failures are split by what we can attribute; anything we cannot attribute is counted, not hidden. 49 of these checks predate 2026-09-01, when the probe counted a bot-block (HTTP 403) as a failure and recorded no reason for any failure. Rates spanning that date mix two definitions. Since then: 100%.
Last 30 days — to 2026-09-09, one point per UTC day
A gap is a day we have no attributable observation — never a zero. Thirty points is the whole shape the free layer carries; the daily rows behind it stay in the snapshot series.
