Orbiter Finance is a Liquidity Router Instead of a Bridge

Bridges were originally created for transferring assets from Chain A to Chain B. However as the Web3 Ecosystem matured, we learned that many of the applications using Bridges were doing far more than simply transferring between two chains. Instead of simply transferring, there is also a Routing component in the Web3 Asset Ecosystem. Users today require Routing of Assets, and this is what Orbiter Finance provides.

Limitations of Traditional Bridge

Traditional (classical) bridges were designed and created for a simpler time: Transfer assets from Chain A to Chain B, Then wait, Then repeat again. In DeFi today, the original classic bridge solution introduces friction. Users don’t want to have to think about, On which chain am I currently located on, and What type of bridge should I be utilizing And then figure out which route (chain-native) is the best to get there. Instead, they just want to be able to access where liquidity and opportunities already are located.

Activity dictates liquidity flow.

Liquidity is not a function of any narrative, but of efficiency.

Therefore: Stablecoins are most commonly traded on the TRON Network. Layer 2 (L2) protocols provide a faster platform for transactions. Thus, new cryptocurrency ecosystems require significant investment immediately. In this situation, the actual transaction path is a more relevant criterion for determining the direction of a transaction than the actual network(s) on which the transaction occurs.

The Real Purpose of Orbiter

Orbiter Finance is not solely a bridge. @Orbiter_Finance is becoming a liquidity router. It accomplishes this by:

1. Abstracting the chains involved from the user;
2. Optimizing all routes automatically; and
3. Moving assets directly to where they need to go.

The critical difference with Orbiter versus other bridges is that Orbiter selects the route for you automatically as opposed to allowing you to select the route. This represents a significant departure from how existing bridges operate.

The Importance of This Development Today

It is evident that the recent advancements have demonstrated Access directly to high-volume blockchains, such as TRON Synchronized flows using a bridge and a swap service. An on-ramp to support a native token. This is not to add new chains. Connecting tangible liquidity to tangible ecosystems is what this is all about.

The Endgame: Hidden Infrastructure

The most effective user experience occurs when it is not visible to users. Users NEED to stop asking, “What is my chain?” “Am I using the right bridge?” Once they only think about results of doing something — That is when Web3 evolves to scale. Orbiter appears to be headed towards that evolution.

Final Thought

Bridges move assets. Liquidity routers move ecosystems. And that difference defines the next phase of DeFi.
