Today, Orbs, the decentralized Layer-3 blockchain infrastructure dedicated to sophisticated on-chain trading, unveiled Orbs Institutional, a new offering that gives trading desks, OTC companies, treasuries, custodians, and financial platforms direct access to its on-chain execution infrastructure.
The rollout expands upon technology that, since 2023, has handled over $2.5 billion in spot trade volume across over 10 blockchain networks and over 30 decentralized exchange integrations. The infrastructure, which was previously accessible via well-known decentralized trading platforms like PancakeSwap, SushiSwap, QuickSwap, and THENA, is now being made directly available to institutional market players.
Businesses are increasingly investigating on-chain execution as a component of their trading operations as institutional acceptance of decentralized finance keeps expanding. However, while operating in decentralized markets, many institutions continue to encounter difficulties with regard to execution quality, custody requirements, and transparency.
“Institutions shouldn’t have to choose between the efficiency of decentralized markets and the standards they expect from professional trading infrastructure,” said Ran Hammer, Chief Business Officer at Orbs. “We’ve spent years building and refining execution technology that now powers some of the most active trading venues in DeFi. With Orbs Institutional, we’re making that infrastructure directly accessible to trading desks, treasuries, custodians and platforms looking to execute on-chain with greater transparency, competitive pricing and full control over their assets.”
Liquidity Hub, Orbs’ liquidity aggregation protocol, which sources liquidity from professional market makers and decentralized exchanges via a private RFQ layer intended to enhance execution quality while lowering exposure to MEV and front-running, is at the core of the offering. Additionally, Orbs’ execution tools, like as dTWAP, dLIMIT, and dSLTP, are made available to institutions.
Orders may be signed using current custody, treasury, or MPC infrastructure that meets the EIP-712 standard, and assets stay under client control throughout the execution lifecycle. Since 2017, the protocol has been operational in production with no known vulnerabilities thanks to audited smart contracts that don’t need admin keys.
There are two main integration routes that Orbs Institutional offers. While wallets, custodians, exchanges, MPC providers, and prime brokers may include Orbs’ execution capabilities into their current products via white-label or co-branded installations, institutional customers can connect directly using APIs to access the execution stack.
Orbs anticipates a rise in demand for transparent, self-custodied, and automated execution infrastructure as institutional involvement in digital asset markets continues to grow. According to the business, professional market players looking for direct access to on-chain liquidity and execution tools will spearhead the next stage of DeFi adoption.
A decentralized Layer 3 blockchain Orbs, was created for advanced on-chain trading. Orbs functions as an additional execution layer using a Proof-of-Stake consensus, allowing sophisticated logic and scripts that are not possible with traditional smart contracts. CeFi-level execution is brought to decentralized markets with Orbs-powered protocols such as dLIMIT, dTWAP, Liquidity Hub, and Perpetual Hub. Orbs continues to develop at the cutting edge of blockchain infrastructure with a worldwide staff spread across many locations. Visit www.orbs.com to find out more.
