+# Raydium Provider
+
+The Raydium provider fetches prices from the Raydium dex via JSON-RPC requests to Solana nodes. 
+
+## How It Works
+
+For each ticker (i.e. RAY/SOL), we query 4 accounts:
+
+* BaseTokenVault
+* QuoteTokenVault
+* AMMInfo
+* OpenOrders
+
+To calculate the price, we need to get the base and quote token balances, subtract PNL feels, and add the value of open orders.
+
+With the above values, we calculate the price by dividing quote / base and multiplying by the scaling factor.
