While traditional finance (TradFi) has long been the standard for financial services, the emergence of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) has since brought many flaws in the industry to light.

With DeFi, traders have the ability to manage their own security through non-custodial wallets. Users also have access to more innovative financial opportunities in DeFi than their TradFi counterparts. DeFi breaks through limitations in TradFi to deliver more tools for freedom and opportunity in any given trading experience.

Transitioning from TradFi to DeFi is, therefore, necessary to use the best tools in finance at its disposal. Orion facilitates this transition by aggregating the largest sources of liquidity in the industry on a versatile cross-chain trading platform. The result is a simplified trading experience to access all that DeFi has to offer.

Managing Security

When adopting from TradFi to DeFi, security becomes particularly important. A crucial aspect of decentralized technology is the self-custody of assets. With the use of digital wallets, DeFi traders can optimize the security of their funds through clear ownership.

The importance of asset ownership is especially highlighted in different emergency situations a user may face. For instance, in a recent turn of events, many financial institutions faced insolvency due to opaque operations. Clients’ assets from companies such as Celsius, Voyager Digital, and Three Arrows Capital could not be withdrawn. Clients had to comply with the insolvency of those institutions because the latter had custody over said assets.

With Orion Protocol, users can leverage DeFi self-custody to connect to a variety of centralized exchanges (CEXs) and decentralized exchanges (DEXs) without compromising the security of their assets. Orion’s non-custodial wallet integration allows users to withdraw their funds at any time.

Orion Protocol functions under a decentralized node (server) structure. This optimizes the efficiency of the protocol. Minimizing the risk of network downtime as nodes/servers function independently and are located in different geographies.

Orion Protocol Security Features

Orion provides all the security features at the core of DeFi’s competitive advantage while allowing compatibility with CEXs, DEXs, and cutting-edge DeFi protocols. It is a one-stop DeFi solution; thus making Orion a great bridge for transitioning from TradFi to DeFi.

Opportunities

Trading in unregulated markets can be a daunting, but rewarding experience. DeFi traders can tap into incredible opportunities and never-ending innovation facilitated by new technologies.

On the one hand, TradFi values the preservation of intellectual property and competitive advantage. This is to the detriment of pure innovation as each institution must incubate innovation internally. Additionally, TradFi users must go through lengthy processes of profile creation due to private databases.

On the other hand, DeFi’s open-sourced nature, coupled with composability and interoperability features, allow for new technologies to blossom at a rapid rate. This allows users to go in and out of multiple protocols with a single digital wallet.

Through a code-centric approach to financial services, decentralized innovations can scale at a significant pace. Human input is optimized and supported by algorithms, software functions, and databases.

Orion implements the interoperability of DeFi into its protocol so traders can seamlessly navigate from one exchange to another while staying on the same platform. The protocol continues to grow through its novel liquidity aggregator, which allows access to new assets, swap pools, and order books.

Shifting from TradFi to DeFi with Orion is synonymous with shifting your financial exposure toward opportunities fostered by the open, composable, and interoperable environment of DeFi.

From TradFi to DeFi with Orion

DeFi has grown dramatically to improve financial services, but the shift from TradFi is not yet an intuitive process. In order to bridge the gap between TradFi and DeFi, Orion Protocol has leveraged its advanced liquidity aggregator and versatile trading platform to address those issues.

Traders are incentivized to gain exposure to DeFi for the security, freedom, and trading opportunities unmatched by TradFi. DeFi improves on TradFi by prioritizing secure ownership and access to funds so traders can engage with financial services in a programmatically decentralized manner at all hours of the day.

DeFi also allows users to tap into new opportunities due to the composability, interoperability, and accessibility inherent with decentralized technology. Orion Protocol helps bring DeFi’s broad scope into focus by providing a single platform where the best resources in DeFi are easily accessible.

With non-custodial trading, exchange aggregations, and unlimited possibilities for cross-chain functionality, Orion offers the best of DeFi for any trader looking to make the transition away from TradFi.

Orion’s industry-first technology made this possible, enabling global access to centralized liquidity once again. Furthermore, Orion Protocol is building the decentralized gateway to the crypto market by aggregating multiple CEXs and DEXs into one place through Orion’s advanced liquidity aggregator.

Orion Protocol Flagship

The Orion Terminal, Orion’s flagship solution, combines each of these previously siloed exchanges into one deep order book, forming ultra-tight spreads and minimal slippage. Orion provides its users with the best prices for digital assets across any connected chain through its smart routing over several of the most elite exchanges in blockchain, including OKX and Binance.

Aggregating CEX’s and DEX’s

Combining this vast liquidity into one place also opens up unique and lucrative arbitrage opportunities for users due to the fluctuations in prices across multiple exchanges. With the complexity involved in aggregating CEXs and DEXs together, Orion’s developers must find unique and intricate ways of tackling any challenges faced. There is no manual to read, there is no other project to learn from. Every part of the development process is another step on the path of innovation for Orion.

“There were several developers involved, with the integration process totaling around a week but this can take longer depending on the tasks involved. Areas to be covered during integration include studying the API documentation, working with spot and margin swaps, configuration of assets and pairs in each network and finally developing the list of assets.”— Orion Dev Team

Easier To Add New Assets

The dev team comprises specialist areas including back-end and front-end teams and depending on what is involves in each of the objectives a certain number of developers may be assigned to the tasks whilst other work is ongoing elsewhere. Work allocates to handle the tasks as smoothly and effectively as possible. Ensuring the best progress in integrating the new CEX.

“It is easier to add new assets since CEX integration allows for access to liquidity on new pairs traded on this exchange. Besides this, the obvious benefit is deeper liquidity on existing asset pairs. We continue to keep adding new assets to the terminal and also to Orion Bridge, so people can make sure they are trading tokens with low gas fees. Orion Bridge is an important part of Orion.”

Adding new CEX liquidity sources opens up several choices for bringing new assets and pairs to Orion. Orion is naturally a decentralized liquidity aggregator as opposed to an exchange. These new OKX pairs have the ability to combine with assets from CEXs already implemented (Binance, KuCoin, AscendEX, and more). The result is deeper. A more robust order book of which small or large trading sizes is processing with far less slippage. Supremely tight spreads, compared to a regular exchange.

“Interestingly, OKX does not separate spot and margin accounts. This is not conventional, however, it improves flexibility and consistency of operations since there is no need to block/freeze assets on different accounts.”

Each CEX brings its own challenges and will require different attention. It depends on what it presents to the dev team. Sometimes the elements allow for a smoother workflow. Whereas, other times it needs careful analysis so it fits with Orion’s general work structure. Any integration is a thorough quality test. Through different phases before rolling out internally, to the VIP group, and then to the public.

In the past, arbitrage was only possible across multiple interfaces and accounts. The time spent switching between siloed markets meant an increased risk of losing out on time-sensitive prices. Nowadays, automated trading systems (bots) perform lightning-fast transactions that quickly capitalize on lucrative arbitrage. That’s why the savvy arbitrage trader needs to be quick to adapt to emerging opportunities.

Orion is changing the arbitrage game by merging access across multiple siloed markets. Instead of transferring between different interfaces and accounts, Orion’s advanced liquidity aggregator integrates prices across multiple major CEXs, DEXs, and swap pools into one deep order book. The result is the best prices for digital assets gathered together on a single interface across multiple chains. This has planted the seeds for arbitrage opportunities never seen before in crypto thanks to Orion’s flagship solution, Orion Terminal.

What is arbitrage?

Arbitration (arbitrage) is a strategy that exploits price differences for identical products from one market to another. For example, someone may notice grapes on sale for $5 per pound in market A, but $6 per pound in market B. This person can exploit an arbitrage opportunity by buying grapes in market A, and earning $1 per pound by selling them in market B. Price variations across markets occur due to what is known as “imperfect information.” Imperfect information refers to the inherent non-ubiquitous access to up-to-date market information across participants. This is a fundamental concept in business. Prolific businessman, Aristotle Onassis, once said, “the secret to business is to know something that nobody else does.” Arbitrage is often referred to as “riskless profit” given that no price speculation is involved.

Arbitrage plays an important role in any market. Lower prices for the same products in one market translate into lower demand and increased supply in a competing market, which is then forced to lower their prices to remain competitive.

How Orion creates arbitrage opportunities

Orion is changing the way the crypto market organizes price information. This is because Orion’s ground-breaking technology aggregates prices from across the market to compete against one another. The most competitive prices in crypto are thereby created along with the emergence of entirely new pools of liquidity that service unique trading pairs and DeFi possibilities.

As liquidity from new exchanges tap into Orion, their assets are opened up to unique pairs that were never possible before. Orion’s cross-chain trading functionality further enhances the ability for pools of liquidity to form around these new pairs. Arbitrage traders can anticipate inconsistent pricing across these new and existing pools, and exploit them accordingly. These are opportunities that could never have been possible before Orion.

Risks of arbitrage trading

Arbitrage traders often make profit on small margins, and not paying attention to fees can make the difference between trading profitably or not. Users on Orion Terminal can ensure they trade with the lowest fees by paying with Orion’s native token, ORN.

The volume of a market will play a role in whether a user’s trades will execute in a timely fashion. Low-volume markets often present lucrative prices for arbitrage. But insufficient liquidity for finalizing trades quickly enough to capitalize on time-sensitive opportunities.

Slippage occurs when trades are executed at a price that is different from the quoted price. This typically occurs when the market is highly volatile or also during periods of low-liquidity. Again, since arbitrage is often conducted on small margins. It is important for users to ensure their trades are being executed within a profitable price range. This can be done by always placing limit, or stop-loss orders when making trades.

Create trading bots with Orion’s SDK

As mentioned above, trading bots are common practice for implementing lightning-fast trades on arbitrage opportunities. This is one reason why Orion provides the Software Development Kit (SDK). With the Orion SDK third parties can implement their own DeFi solutions on top of the most advanced liquidity aggregator ever developed.

The Orion SDK is the framework upon which all DeFi solutions on Orion are built. Now anyone can utilize this open-source repository to build their own powerful financial tools.  From arbitrage trading bots to DEXs, the Orion SDK is the toolkit for building on Orion. The gateway to the deepest liquidity in crypto.

Orion Protocol’s aggregation of CEXs, DEXs, and swap pools is marking the first time that liquidity across the whole market can be accessed in one place. The ripple effect of this leap is birthing new markets that present new opportunities for arbitrage trading, and limitless DeFi possibilities.
