Orion Protocol functions as a liquidity aggregator and aims to aggregate the liquidity of all crypto exchanges into one decentralized platform. It also aggregates centralized exchanges. The protocol was launched in 2020 along with ORN, its utility token.

The project was developed with the aim of reducing trading risks associated with the crypto market, as well as making the entire cryptocurrency trading process easier and more intuitive for users.

In line with one of its goals of bridging traditional finance and real-world assets with cryptocurrency, Orion Protocol’s flagship product is Orion Terminal, which aims to provide a singular, non-custodial, gateway to crypto. 

What are Orion Protocol’s key features and how does it work?

Orion Protocol uses a single API to create, essentially, an entire ecosystem for traders. It unites the whole crypto market and offers a complex range of services and tools for traders to capitalize on the crypto market. Its products include a portfolio management application, trading terminals, liquidity boost, DEX Launcher, and enterprise trading, amongst other products.

Orion finds the most optimal trade routes and trading opportunities so that users do not have to go through different exchanges and search themselves. Orion all offers its Orion portfolio app where users can manage all of their assets and access trading data. In this manner, it provides users with access to the digital market in one place at favorable rates.

The protocol is secured with a combination of automation and staking of ORN, which is used for voting and to provide liquidity. ORN tokens are also used as the predominant method of payment on the network and are paid as a reward for staking. 

What can Orion Protocol be used for?

As mentioned, Orion Protocol offers a wide selection of products and uses for traders. Some of the most functional will be explained below.

Orion Terminal is Orion’s decentralized platform which provides access to the liquidity of the entire cryptocurrency market, without users having to give up their private keys.

Additionally, developers can make use of the Orion Developer Kit to create their own decentralized apps directly on the Orion protocol. The Orion DEX Kit also means that blockchains can build their own decentralized exchange specific to their own chain in very little time.
