Orion Protocol
The Orion Protocol is an interesting new decentralised trading platform that is chain agnostic, that is it doesn’t matter what chain the token is on that you are trading. As long as the platform supports it, you will be able to trade it depending on the amount of liquidity for trading.
It is quite an interesting platform and Orion are looking at integrating Cardano natively to their trading terminal platform. This will allow for a huge update in different token trading pairs on Cardano.
