While the roll-out of layer 2 solutions for combating the issues of speed and gas fees on the ETH network is on course, layer 1 chains are also becoming competitive. Avalanche has possibly caught the eye of many developers since it has onboarded over 320 projects. Some of these projects are popular DeFi solutions like Chainlink and SushiSwap.

Away from the blue-chip projects, Avalanche has also amassed $3.6B in total locked value. It has also seen an increase of over 1900% in the last two months. The Avalanche foundation has also raised about $230 million from its Avax tokens to Three Arrows capital and Polychain.

The reliability of Avalanche in its speed and innovative approach to DeFi result in attracting over 140 ecosystem partners and hundreds of new projects. Therefore, the excellent management by Avalanche has also caught the attention of Orbs resulting in a cross-chain partnership.

Since the launch and opening of the ORBS native token to the public in March 2019, the Orbs team has had many partnerships with major DeFi platforms. Some of these partners include AnySwap, Balancer, SushiSwap, Kyber networks, and UniSwap.

As an advantage, the Orbs network is EVN-compatible, allowing it to integrate with ETH virtual machine-compatible chains easily.
