L3 for Advanced On-chain Trading, Orbs, has announced the integration of its Liquidity Hub with SwapX, a concentrated liquidity AMM (CLAMM) on the Sonic EVM blockchain. The move will significantly enhance the trading experience on SwapX, enabling users to access deep liquidity sources and advanced trading capabilities. Powered by Orbs’ Layer 3 technology, Liquidity Hub optimizes DEX trading by aggregating liquidity from on- and off-chain sources. For SwapX users, this means seamless access to better execution prices, enhanced capital efficiency, and protection against issues like miner extractable value (MEV). The integration represents the first time Liquidity Hub technology has been deployed on Sonic, a high-performance EVM blockchain with 10,000 TPS and sub-second finality. As Sonic’s ecosystem continues to grow, the addition of Liquidity Hub positions it as a leader in efficient and secure DeFi solutions. Ran Hammer, Vice President of Business Development at Orbs, said: “We’ve been collaborating with SwapX for over a year, and I’m absolutely thrilled to see our partnership come to life. Sonic is one of the most innovative and promising new chains in the space, and with Orbs L3 powering SwapX, we’re excited to witness its exponential growth and the groundbreaking advancements it will bring to DeFi.” Liquidity Hub by Orbs operates as an L3 protocol, layering advanced functionality atop traditional automated market maker (AMM) architecture. This technology uses an innovative combination of onchain solver auctions and decentralized APIs to source liquidity. Third-party solvers compete to fill swap requests using AMM liquidity or private inventory, ensuring optimal price discovery. Utilizing decentralized APIs, Liquidity Hub allows professional traders and market makers to submit bids enhancing the liquidity pool and ensuring competitive pricing. This decentralized and composable system allows traders to enjoy improved swap execution while liquidity providers benefit from enhanced capital utilization. SwapX is Sonic’s premier decentralized exchange, its CLAMM delivering advanced liquidity management for liquidity providers and the best possible user experience for traders. By integrating Orbs’ Liquidity Hub, SwapX gains access to aggregated liquidity sources beyond its native pools, offering traders a competitive edge and further solidifying its position as Sonic’s leading DEX. The SwapX integration marks Liquidity Hub’s tenth deployment across multiple blockchain ecosystems. With a growing presence that includes platforms like Quickswap and THENA, Orbs is driving the adoption of advanced trading technologies and setting a new standard for DeFi efficiency.
