Orion, a company founded with the ambitious goal of addressing a fundamental challenge in the DeFi sector—the dispersion of liquidity across the ecosystem—has undergone a significant transformation. Initially, Orion tackled this issue through its platform, Orion Terminal, which successfully consolidated liquidity from both decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and centralized exchanges (CEXs). As the DeFi sector evolved, it became clear that the potential of the underlying technology extended beyond a single platform.
Enter Lumia: The Web3 Liquidity Layer. This protocol merges Layer 1 and Layer 2 solutions, harnessing extensive liquidity from both CEXs and DEXs. Lumia represents an evolution of Orion’s DeFi offerings, focusing on enhancing user experiences.
Lumia aims to be the premier source of liquidity not just for exchanges but for any application or business, regardless of its nature, be it web2 or web3. It strives to increase the openness, accessibility, and resilience of the financial ecosystem by combining the vast liquidity of leading CEXs with the innovative features of decentralized exchanges (DEXs) into a powerful decentralized network. This shift marks a significant milestone in the company’s journey from Orion to Lumia, signifying a broader vision for the future of DeFi solutions.
