Global access to major centralized exchanges. No account.

We’re increasingly seeing countries clamp down on CEX usage in their jurisdictions, preventing access to major centralized exchanges in certain regions. As the decentralized gateway to the digital asset market, Orion Terminal allows users global and decentralized access to major centralized exchange liquidity - regardless of their jurisdiction. 

As the only platform to decentralize access to centralized liquidity, users can access major centralized exchanges such as Binance and KuCoin securely from their wallet, regardless of where they reside. Orders can even be split across multiple exchanges and liquidity sources, both centralized and decentralized, to achieve the best possible price every time. 

In volatile markets, ownership of assets is more important than ever. Having your assets held by a third-party centralized exchange limits your control of your own funds. At any point, your access can be denied and withdrawal of funds remains unavailable. Regularly, trading and withdrawals are halted or limited across several major exchanges, preventing traders access to both their assets and trading opportunities.

On Orion Terminal, trade across major exchange liquidity from anywhere, without the need to compromise assets or set up an account.

How does Orion Terminal provide global + decentralized access to centralized liquidity?

This is all made possible through Orion's proprietary governance mechanism, Delegated Proof of Broker. This functionality is unique to Orion Protocol: while other liquidity aggregators exist, none have been able to offer decentralized access to centralized liquidity, requiring users to have an account for access. Orion Terminal is the first and only in market to provide global and decentralized access to the digital asset market. 

Brokers with exchange accounts (or exchanges themselves, such as AscendEX, Kucoin, MXC, Mettalex, and Injective) run Orion Broker Software and automatically execute trades routed from the liquidity aggregator via their trading accounts. Brokers are chosen to execute trades based on how much ORN they stake, and receive a portion of fees from each trade they execute.

Brokers conduct KYC so traders don't have to. Although brokers are executing the trade on a trader’s behalf, they never get access to traders’ accounts or funds as smart contracts enforce secure conditions of exchange. Only if the order is filled by a selected broker will the transfer of assets occur atomically within the smart contract: the trader gives the sold asset in exchange for the bought asset. 

It’s through these brokers that we’re able to decentralize centralized liquidity for the first time, and allow traders to access both centralized and decentralized liquidity regardless of their jurisdiction - without ever needing to give up, share, or compromise their private keys, assets, or information.
