A Mix of Security, Profitability, and Interoperability

OpenOcean wants to exploit its capabilities fully. Their smart contracts are safe following audits by CertiK and SlowMist.

By connecting DEXes launched in various high-value blockchains and individual CEXes like Binance, end-users enjoy unparalleled levels of liquidity and the best pricing options in a non-custodial environment.

Besides interoperability, the project is also banking on its easy-to-use interface, specifically designed to enable fast client onboarding.

At the moment, OpenOcean has integrated DEXes from Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain (BSC), Ontology, Solana, and Solana.

Additionally, they have completed Loopring Layer-2 DEX aggregation. Incorporating more blockchains brings more choices for users who can spread out seamlessly, enjoying various exciting projects across multiple protocols.

In the days ahead, OpenOcean will plug in Polygon. The latter aims to scale Ethereum and have become one of the most active public ledgers differentiated by competitively low transaction fees in a scalable setup. Other blockchains OpenOcean purposes of linking with are Polkadot—which is interoperable, featuring a dense array of DeFi projects—and xDAI.

Besides OpenOcean, Huobi Ventures Blockchain Fund was, on June 23, the lead investor of the Seoul-based Beyond Finance. They have also invested in Lithium Finance, dForce, and nine other projects.
