Key highlights:
The integration enables Lynex users to access diverse liquidity sources, optimizing order execution and reducing slippage.
Orbs’ Liquidity Hub offers enhanced trading features, including improved execution prices, MEV protection, and gasless transactions.
Lynex is the sixth protocol to incorporate Orbs’ Liquidity Hub, reinforcing its role in providing superior DeFi trading experiences.
Orbs Liquidity Hub now accessible through Lynex on Linea
Lynex is a prominent decentralized exchange (DEX) on the Linea blockchain and they have integrated Orbs’ Liquidity Hub protocol. This integration is designed to provide users with broader liquidity access and more efficient order execution. As a leading liquidity marketplace, Lynex facilitates seamless token swaps and empowers its users to influence trading environments through the $LYNX token. The addition of Orbs’ Liquidity Hub introduces advanced features such as better pricing, protection against Miner Extractable Value (MEV), and gasless transactions, making it easier for traders to navigate the DeFi landscape.
Orbs, a decentralized Layer-3 (L3) blockchain infrastructure, optimizes on-chain trading by aggregating liquidity from various sources. The Liquidity Hub functions as an optimization layer over Automated Market Makers (AMMs), allowing Lynex users to access both centralized and decentralized liquidity without altering the DEX interface. This system ensures better price quotes and minimizes slippage during trades by leveraging a mix of on- and off-chain liquidity sources.
This new integration complements Lynex’s existing infrastructure, which already includes Orbs’ dLIMIT and dTWAP protocols, enabling more sophisticated trading strategies. With Orbs' technology, Linea users can now enjoy centralized exchange (CEX) quality trading within a decentralized environment. This integration allows users to engage in non-custodial trading while accessing deeper liquidity than typically available on a DEX.
What's the difference between a CEX and a DEX?
The Liquidity Hub improves the traditional DEX experience by routing trades through a wider range of liquidity pools. These pools include third-party solvers and decentralized orders, enabling professional traders, such as market makers, to fill swaps using on-chain liquidity or private inventory, delivering improved outcomes for all users.
Lynex is now the sixth protocol to adopt Orbs’ Liquidity Hub, following integrations with Quickswap on Polygon PoS and zkEVM, Thena on BNB Chain, and Spooky on Fantom. Powered by Orbs’ L3 technology, the Liquidity Hub has become an industry standard for achieving the best pricing on DEX platforms, benefiting both projects and end-users. This decentralized backend brings centralized finance (CeFi) level execution to decentralized finance (DeFi) trading, enhancing the overall trading experience without moving liquidity to a new chain.
The bottom line
The integration of Orbs’ Liquidity Hub with Lynex will improve the trading experience on the Linea blockchain. By combining deep liquidity access with decentralized trading, users can now execute trades with greater efficiency and less friction. This development solidifies Lynex’s position as a key player in the decentralized finance ecosystem and underscores Orbs' role in optimizing blockchain trading infrastructure.
