Key Features of Orion Protocol

The platform claims that they are one of the platforms that charges the lowest trading fees compared to other crypto platforms in the market. Additionally, to address the common issues that traders have during trading related to security, liquidity and costs, here are some of the features that eases the problems:

  • Liquidity aggregator. This enables customers to access many exchanges from a single location. Traders can get an accurate price for every supported cryptocurrency because the built-in aggregator helps to reflect the best services offered by all centralized and decentralized platforms.
  • Freedom. Orion Protocol is a non-custodial platform that supports direct external transfers. It means that Orion’s users will still have the full control of their funds and they are free to transfer funds after the purchase. This is one of the biggest advantages Orion has compared to most other traditional platforms.
  • Price matching. In order to reduce the execution time of trading orders and the risks of depending on third-party brokerage for matching, Orion’s users can use its internal DEX with the use of internal database to match orders within a short time.

The Creation of ORN Tokens & Reward System

To create a network between brokers and stakers, Orion Protocol uses a delegated proof-of-broker consensus mechanism. By putting the token to a shared liquidity pool, this technique enables token holders to lend and borrow. Smart contracts are being used to secure trading and related activities. Like traditional paper contracts, smart contracts define the conditions of an agreement between parties.

On the contrast, unlike a traditional contract, smart contracts automatically carry out the conditions when they are satisfied without the need for any form of mediator or for either party to be aware of the other party’s identity. The token owner (lender) is compensated with ORN tokens after this transaction is finished.
