What is it?
This is a project designed to aggregate the liquidity of various crypto exchanges into a decentralised platform that can provide a singular, non custodial gateway into crypto. It also provides access towards the digital asset market, this allows them to hold a protocol to bridge the worlds of crypto, traditional finance and real world assets. Orion helps to solute issues of liquidity, scalability and accessibility. This project focuses on building a unique ecosystem of DeFi products to its users whilst taking a new approach onto crypto accessibility.
Their protocol will aggregate the liquidity and order book depth and price discovery from each centralised and decentralised digital assets. This ensures the creation of Orion Terminal.
The Orion terminal provides access to the liquidity of the crypto market on one decentralised platform, without users having to give up their private keys.
By aggregating the liquidity and depth of major centralised exchanges, Orion protocol will be the first project to ensure high margin trading isn’t seen as a decentralised platform, this means that Orion users can lend their assets through the decentralised margin solution in order to
earn passive income on assets.
Their Orion developer kit is an open source repository to allow anyone to build decentralised apps to the protocol. The protocols functionality will be accessible to developers and businesses, thus enabling you to build powerful financial tools for a financial gain.
Their protocol also enables the market leading price oracle that is resilient towards price manipulation. This is a huge advantage for the project as many external DeFi products have been regularly exploited because of price oracles being inefficient.

How does it work?
Brokers with exchange accounts run on the Orion Broker software, this executes trades routed from the liquidity aggregator. Brokers are also chosen to execute trades depending on how much ORN they stake. Non brokers stake ORN in order to vote for their choice of Broker, brokers are then incentivised to offer them “attractive rates” to increase their chance of being picked.
Traders assets are also protected by smart contracts and broker collateral held during the brokers tenure. For example, if bad activity is reported about the brokers they would lose their collateral, and that collateral can be used to reimburse traders.

Recent and Upcoming news.
Development update: BSC has been successfully integrated on the Orion terminal as the “ latest chain”. This means that wider access will be provided to those who have signed up for access into the terminal.
Furthermore, more pairs have been added to the terminal:
• BTC • BNB • ADA • LTC • DOT
In addition, more developments are in process to ensure that more pairs will be added. The team will continue to aim for more developments in optimisation and improvement on the terminal ahead of main net launch by the end of the quarter of 2021.
The development team have also completed their work on Orion Swap, they focused on complex swaps. Recently, trading tokens with no direct trading pairs occurred through two orders through USDT. Fortunately, now all users can just sign one trade for complex swaps. This results in lower fees and faster executions.

The team are now working on terminal developments, for example, broker onboarding and developments with backend order routing. There’s also further development on B2B solutions, this also includes the launch of Orion launchpad liquidity.
