Layer-three liquidity protocol Orbs has launched Perpetual Hub, a comprehensive solution for perpetual futures trading on-chain.
Before now, leading solutions in the market used an order book or virtual liquidity mechanism, which lacked capital efficiency.
Perpetual Hub provides a full suite of tools that empower traders to extract maximum value from on-chain perps using an intent-based model.
Developed in collaboration with SYMMIO and IntentX, Perpetual Hub utilizes Orbs’ advanced layer-three technology to give traders the tools they need to trade perpetual futures on-chain with CeFi-level execution.

Liquidators can earn a liquidation fee as remuneration for providing this service.

Price oracles are essential to provide uPnL (unrealized profit and loss) for accounts, identify liquidations and support accurate order execution.
A reliable and robust price oracle that is fully decentralized is essential for the core functions of Perpetual Hub to run smoothly.
All three software solutions leverage the power of the decentralized Orbs Network, with its ‘guardians’ and proof-of-stake ecosystem, to allow platforms, market participants and other third parties to provide and operate a suite of decentralized services for perpetual…
