In yet another trailblazing integration, we’re partnering with decentralized crypto gateway Orion Protocol!
Orion is now the first decentralized aggregator to offer fiat-to-crypto onboarding for its users without having to leave the platform.
About Orion
The Orion Protocol works by combining the liquidity of major crypto exchanges into one decentralized platform, thus providing a single entrypoint to the entire crypto market.
The layer 2 solution, which brands itself as “the first gateway to the entire crypto market”, allows its users to access major centralized exchanges, decentralized exchanges, and swap pools directly from their wallets with no account or Know Your Customer screening required. According to the platform’s website, “we don’t compete with exchanges: we aggregate them.”
Orion Protocol is the first platform to enable decentralized access to centralized exchanges like Binance, Kucoin, and more, without jurisdictional barriers, KYC, or accounts. Users will be able to seamlessly trade across multiple exchanges (both centralized and decentralized) directly from their wallet, and the order will always be routed to the liquidity source with the best price.
By integrating MoonPay, Orion plans to unlock a wealth of new capital into DeFi, enabling support for all major payment methods on Orion Terminal.
To celebrate the announcement, the first $500k in fiat funds on-ramped through MoonPay on Orion Terminal will incur zero fees.
You can now buy ORN and dozens of other digital assets through Orion Terminal via MoonPay.
