emulating a currency exchange.
The assets are virtual tokens held by investors who may post order requests to
the exchange. A Swapper monitors the exchange and posts swap requests for
the exchange. A Matcher monitors the exchange and posts swap requests for
matching orders. All the transactions can execute concurrently.

- A request to create a token account
- Token request
- A request to deposit tokens of a particular type into a token account.
- Token pair
- A unique ordered list of two tokens. For the four types of tokens used in
this demo, the valid pairs are AB, AC, AD, BC, BD, CD.
- Direction of trade
- Describes which token in the pair the investor wants to sell and buy and can
be either "To" or "From". For example, if an investor issues a "To" trade
for "AB" then they which to exchange A tokens to B tokens. A "From" order
would read the other way, A tokens from B tokens.
- Asset pair
- A struct with fields Base and Quote, representing the two assets which make up a
trading pair, which themselves are Tokens. The Base or 'primary' asset is the
numerator and the Quote is the denominator for pricing purposes.
- Order side
- Describes which side of the market an investor wants to place a trade on. Options
are "Bid" or "Ask", where a bid represents an offer to purchase the Base asset of
the AssetPair for a sum of the Quote Asset and an Ask is an offer to sell Base asset
for the Quote asset.
- Price ratio
- An expression of the relative prices of two tokens. They consist of the
price of the primary token and the price of the secondary token. For
simplicity sake, the primary token's price is always 1, which forces the
secondary to be the common denominator. For example, if token A was worth
2 and token B was worth 6, the price ratio would be 1:3 or just 3. Price
ratios are represented as fixed point numbers. The fixed point scaler is

- Order request
- A Solana transaction executed by the exchange requesting the trade of one
type of token for another. order requests are made up of the token pair,
the direction of the trade, quantity of the primary token, the price ratio,
and the two token accounts to be credited/deducted. An example trade
request looks like "T AB 5 2" which reads "Exchange 5 A tokens to B tokens
at a price ratio of 1:2" A fulfilled trade would result in 5 A tokens
- A Solana transaction sent by a trader to the exchange to submit an order.

tokens are distributed to the traders' accounts and any overlap or

- Individual investors who hold a number of tokens and wish to trade them on

## Exchange startup
The exchange is up and running when it reaches a state where it can take
investor's trades and Swapper's swap requests. To achieve this state the
investors' trades and Matchers' match requests. To achieve this state the
following must occur in order:
- Start the Solana blockchain
- Start the Swapper thin-client
- The Swapper subscribes to change notifications for all the accounts owned by
- Start the thin-client
- The Matcher subscribes to change notifications for all the accounts owned by
the exchange program id. The subscription is managed via Solana's JSON RPC
interface.
- The Swapper starts responding to queries for bid/ask price and OHLCV
- The Matcher starts responding to queries for bid/ask price and OHLCV
