Orbs Boosts Xpanse's Perps Trading on Mode

Orbs Perpetual Hub, a decentralized abstraction layer provided by blockchain infrastructure provider Orbs, has been integrated with Xpanse, the leading perps trading protocol on Mode network. This integration aims to enhance liquidity and advanced trading features for Mode users, improving the trading experience on Xpanse's onchain perpetual markets.

Mode, operating as an EVM Layer 2, is focused on scaling DeFi applications with lower costs and faster transactions. Xpanse, with its futures exchange offering over 340 markets and up to 60x leverage, exemplifies this objective. The integration of Orbs' Perpetual Hub further bolsters Mode's capabilities, providing optimized order execution and liquidity management.

Orbs' Proof-of-Stake L3 blockchain specializes in augmenting base-layer networks like Ethereum or Mode with advanced execution capabilities. The Perpetual Hub joins tools like dLIMIT and dTWAP, which mimic centralized finance functionalities within a decentralized framework. By aggregating liquidity pools and streamlining order matching, the Perpetual Hub ensures Mode traders experience tighter bid-ask spreads and more efficient capital use, critical for high-leverage perpetual contracts.

Xpanse, meanwhile, has been praised for its multi-layered liquidity model, blending intent-based, oracle-based, and order book systems. Beyond liquidity, Xpanse offers AI-driven tools such as Viper AI for momentum prediction, Minima/Maxima for real-time peak detection, WaveML for trend analysis, and a Fear & Greed Index for sentiment tracking. These tools provide traders with powerful data-driven insights. The addition of Orbs' infrastructure enhances these features, enabling smoother execution and potentially lowering the cost of leveraged positions.

Mode network, launched to optimize DeFi scalability, has gained traction for its low-latency transactions and compatibility with Ethereum's tooling. Its use cases extend beyond trading to include tokenized real-world assets, a growing sector projected to reach $16 trillion by 2030. Xpanse's presence on Mode already supports such innovation, and Orbs' integration could amplify this by enabling cross-chain liquidity aggregation, connecting Mode to broader DeFi pools, and supporting automated trading strategies.

For traders, the integration offers practical benefits such as reduced transaction costs via smart liquidity routing and the potential to explore Mode's ecosystem, which may include future
