QuickSwap, a well-established decentralized exchange in the DeFi sector, has adopted Orbs' Perpetual Hub Ultra—a modular infrastructure platform aimed at delivering institutional-level perpetual futures trading to Base, an Ethereum Layer-2 scaling network.
Created in partnership with Symm.io, Perpetual Hub Ultra gives QuickSwap users access to substantial liquidity, flexible leverage settings, and streamlined trade execution through a fully managed, modular perpetuals framework. Utilizing Orbs’ decentralized validator network, the platform merges on-chain openness with the high-speed performance typical of centralized finance (CeFi), delivering a smooth trading experience for both individual and institutional users, according to a CryptoSlate report
What sets Perpetual Hub Ultra apart is its modular design, which empowers exchanges, aggregators, and user interfaces to roll out institutional-grade trading features with minimal technical effort and quick deployment. By consolidating the entire perpetuals infrastructure into a single integration layer, Ultra lowers the technical hurdles for DEXs to introduce high-performance trading services. This strategy fits with Orbs’ broader mission to bridge decentralized and centralized trading, allowing new platforms to achieve CeFi-like speed and adaptability while upholding decentralization and security, as highlighted in reports on the integration.
This integration also brings intent-driven trading to perpetual futures, letting users define trade parameters and automate their strategies. Such functionality addresses a major challenge in DeFi by enabling sophisticated order types and risk controls commonly found on centralized platforms. For QuickSwap, this collaboration broadens its product suite beyond spot trading, establishing it as a versatile platform for both everyday and professional traders. Since its 2021 launch to tackle Ethereum’s high gas fees and slow processing times, QuickSwap has utilized Polygon’s Layer-2 solutions to offer quicker and more affordable transactions.
Orbs, operating as a Proof-of-Stake Layer-3 blockchain, has previously launched its Perpetual Hub across various DeFi protocols, powering solutions like dLIMIT, dTWAP, and Liquidity Hub. The company’s emphasis on sophisticated on-chain trading infrastructure has made it a significant force in the ongoing development of decentralized derivatives markets.
