What is Serum?
Serum is the token that is used on the Serum DEX that allows the exchange of tokens without adhering to strict privacy norms. However, there is one major difference between the Serum platform and other DEXs. The order book of Serum is just like any other centralised exchange so it provides a decentralised experience but without the confusion that prevails on the user interface of DEX platforms.
Serum tokens are SPL tokens that run on Solana but are also fully interoperable with other chains such as Ethereum. Cross-chain support is tricky to implement and offers buyers/sellers huge liquidity making SRM an attractive token to invest in.
