Orbs & Ionex: The Blockchain BFFs You Never Asked For 😂

Who asked for another blockchain layer? I didn’t. But here we are, stuck with it. Orbs’ Layer-3 infrastructure-because nothing says “scalable” like adding more layers to a cake that’s already crumbling.

Ran Hammer, Vice President of Business Development at Orbs, said, “Perpetual Hub Ultra makes it possible for any DEX to offer customized, high-performance perps trading experience, with full white label stack out of the box.” Translation: “We’ve made it so complicated, even your grandma’s toaster can’t mess it up.” 🤡

Features and Scope of the Integration

Developed in collaboration with Symm.io, Perpetual Hub Ultra offers a modular trading infrastructure that includes systems for hedging (risk offsetting), liquidation (automatic closing of over-leveraged positions), and oracle integration (real-time data feeds for asset pricing). Because who doesn’t want a system that’s as reliable as a toddler’s promise to clean their room?

The system pulls in liquidity from both onchain and off-chain sources, including major centralized exchanges like Binance. Because nothing says “decentralized” like relying on a centralized exchange. 🧠

It also uses an intent-based trading model, where traders state the kind of trade they want to make, and a group of participants called solvers carry it out by finding the best available prices across different markets. Like hiring a personal shopper, but for crypto. 🧩

On the Plasma blockchain, Ionex functions both as a decentralized exchange and as a liquidity marketplace. Because who needs a single platform when you can have two? 🤯

Ionex’s MetaDEX module brings together spot and perpetual trading within a single platform. At the heart of the platform is MetaPerp, a perpetual trading product that lets users keep full control of their own assets while they trade. Wait, isn’t that the point of a wallet? 💸

Built on Orbs’ Perpetual Hub Ultra, it supports leverage of up to 60 times and can execute trades in under 100 milliseconds, according to the project’s technical specifications. Because nothing says “safe” like risking it all in a blink. 🚀

The move is seen as part of a broader effort to improve the infrastructure behind decentralized trading. By integrating Orbs’ system, platforms like Ionex could handle more complex financial products with performance levels that come closer to those of centralized exchanges. Because nothing says “progress” like making things 10 times more complicated. 💰
