Aldrin
Summary
Aldrin (formerly Cryptocurrencies.ai) is a Solana-based decentralized exchange and AMM protocol that launched its RIN utility token via IDO in mid-2021, backed by investors including Alameda Research. The project's original DEX product experienced severe activity decline following the FTX/Alameda collapse in November 2022 and the concurrent implosion of the Serum orderbook infrastructure it relied upon. As of 2025–2026, Aldrin Labs has pivoted to multi-chain Telegram trading bots (RINbot) on Sui and Aptos, while the original Solana DEX is effectively inactive with near-zero TVL and the RIN token has lost approximately 99.98% of its all-time-high value.
