ORC, The Dark Horse in OPEN Eco-Layout
Scientific innovations are the driving force for times transformation. Following steam engines, electricity and computer, Blockchain has brought a new revolution to technology and industry of this era.
When it comes to the currently most-talked-about blockchain technology, the decentralized finance (DEFI) deserves a special mention.
As of June 2020, the daily value locked in DEFI has broken the record, now standing at 27.3 billion dollars. It has been nibbling away at the trillion-dollar digital currency market, growing continuously into a giant.
DEFI presents huge market dividends, attracting many industry pioneers to grasp the preemptive opportunities for participation.
OPEN – Bring a wider range of assets to DeFi
OPEN is right among them. OPEN Foundation has started the overall layout of DEFI industry since 2019. After prudent and comprehensive considerations, OPEN chose OnlyChain.
Based on its analysis of OC’s position ratio via its digital asset management company with BTC Grayscale as a benchmark, OPEN has long appreciated OC and set mind to build DEFI ecology on OC system.

Open Finance is a basket of open finance and currency protocol applications developed by OPEN Foundation on OC. Through the protocol matrix with strong composability, it aims to realize a huge financial machine that can run and evolve by itself to replace the current economic operating mode and become a decentralized full-domain world bank.
OPEN is the first team to propose and practice protocol matrix concept in the industry. Its mature and supporting DEFI infrastructure provides one-stop decentralized financial solutions for global users and a unified liquidity space to serve open finance of the future.
Open Swap – Decentralized Exchange
Asset trading and clearing are important parts of traditional economic activities. It is Open Swap that assumes the above responsibilities in the OPEN system.
Open Swap delivers one-stop on-chain trading services for users based on its three core technologies and 20000+ TPS. The transfer speed speaks for itself. Also, the underlying operating system of OC does make Open Swap extremely competitive in processing large and low-frequency transactions, providing users with smooth on-chain trading experiences.

Open Lend – Hybrid Lending Market
Open Lend benchmarked against the lending and financial derivative issuance in the traditional economic activities can automatically calculate interest rates based on supply-demand change.
This benefits borrowers and lenders, making up for the opportunity cost of holding assets in an open financial network and getting rid of the fixed interests from the traditional financial market.
Open Stable – Asset Protocol Aggregation Platform
Open Stable is the center part of OPEN, allowing users to generate the stable assets OUSD (i.e. stablecoin asset protocol) from the secured assets.
OUSD is encrypted assets softly pegged to US dollars as asset collateral. It provides excess backed assets for users so as to effectively withstand vicious inflation.
And thanks to the technical advantages of OC, Open Stable enjoys high-speed asset transfer and delivery.
Open Link Oracle
OpenLink is the first distributed oracle on OC.
It is a vehicle that captures the value of Open Finance and OnlyChain ecosystem. It has defined and realized a new on-chain price generation and digital value capture plan to fix interoperability issues for the smart contract, which significantly enables it to be applied in finance, insurance, supply chain and many other industries.

Since all full eco-applications in OPEN financial system are built on OC, the above applications are exclusively confined to it. However, there exists a shortage in asset diversity on OC. So, how to achieve OC’s interoperability with other blockchains to expand the Open financial ecosystem?
ORC – An ultimate solution to blockchain interoperability.
Open Reactor
Open Reactor – Cross-chain protocol
Open Reactor (ORC) is the first decentralized cross-chain solution on OC system and also the exclusive cross-chain protocol in OPEN system. It serves as a window for financial data and value exchange with external blockchains.

The core mechanism of ORC cross-chain solution is OrcVM, through which users can use BTC and ETH to generate OBTC and OETH on OnlyChain at 1:1 if asset security is guaranteed. Owing to the high-performance blockchain network of OC, users enjoy extremely low handling fees and high transaction speed.
ORC also allows users to transfer digital assets from OC system to other blockchain networks so that on-chain assets can be freely flowed, interacted and aggregated between different blockchains, thus bringing the entire cryptocurrency market back to its root.
The ORC cross-chain solution can be applied to any sub-application in OPEN system. That’s to say, in the years to come, ORC will be the exclusive channel for OPEN sub-protocol to expand its use scope and interact with other public chains. Its importance is beyond any doubt!
The financial sector is a pioneer in exploring the application of blockchain technology, with different institutions having varied blockchain-based layouts and applications. But there also exist some urgent problems of fragmentation.
ORC can realize asset, information and trade interconnectivity and collaboration between different blockchains, which provides broader imagination space for Blockchain’s further application in the financial sector.

ORC Value Analysis
- Provide OPEN with a variety of practical cross-chain assets to make sub-protocol matrix connected.
OBTC and other cross-chain assets acting as a cohesive layer will run throughout the entire open financial ecology to make closer interactions between various sub-protocols, thus achieving a huge and autonomous DEFI ecosystem.
- Integrate value of BTC and other mainstream digital assets into OC system for OC value expansion.
Relying on the digital token of Open Reactor, ORC will bring the value of Bitcoin and Ethereum into OC network so that asset liquidity of more public chains can be locked into it.
- Offer an interactive channel between various OPEN applications and other public chains to expand the ecological layout.
ORC allows users to generate OBTC with BTC. These cross-chain assets can be uses as trade varieties, lending products and synthetic asset reserve resources between Open Swap, Open Lend and OpenStable, which immensely diversify assets in OPEN and promote their operation and deployment on the whole ecosystem.
- Address problems existing in information interaction, asset transfer and business collaboration between the independent public chains and consortium chains of different industries, like banking, securities, insurance and real estate.
The financial sector is a pioneer in exploring the application of blockchain technology, with different institutions having varied blockchain-based layouts and applications. But there also exist some urgent problems of fragmentation.
ORC can realize the asset, information and trade interconnectivity and collaboration between different blockchains, which provides broader imagination space for Blockchain’s further application in the financial sector.
- Push ahead with the rapid establishment of global financial integration or regional economic integration.
Cross-chain enables value to flow between different blockchains. During this process, users, data and scenarios can be well linked to finally build a larger value ecosystem. If cross-chain technology grows into maturity, blockchain in the future will become infrastructures like today’s highways, water and electricity supplies. This will greatly facilitate the free flow of value and promote global financial integration.
Conclusion
If OPEN is a new self-evolving and self-sustaining decentralized financial empire, ORC cross-chain solution will be its “reform and opening-up policy.” Only by embracing a bigger external world can we accelerate the rapid and stable development of ecology and build a “sun-never-set empire.”

ForumPay Expands Payment Infrastructure with New Card and Bank Transfer Acceptance Solution
Milton, Georgia, August 11th, 2026, Chainwire
Businesses are increasingly looking for ways to offer more payment options without adding operational complexity. ForumPay, a crypto payment infrastructure company, enables merchants to accept crypto payments across online, in-store, and in-app channels, with instant conversion and next-day settlement.
ForumPay has recently announced a new payment flow that it says could meaningfully alter how payments are processed. Customers can now initiate purchases using any Visa or Mastercard and bank transfers in selected markets, with funds routed automatically through ForumPay’s infrastructure. Merchants can now offer card and bank payments without registering as a card acceptance businesses, sidestepping chargeback liability and PCI-DSS compliance costs while still receiving precisely the amount invoiced.
This latest ForumPay release represents one of the more ambitious developments yet to bridge the gap between traditional payment rails and crypto infrastructure.
Built for Modern Payment Acceptance
Businesses increasingly want to offer customers greater flexibility at checkout, but additional payment methods tend to bring additional operational and cost burdens. Card acceptance, in particular, can introduce chargeback exposure, compliance requirements, fraud management responsibilities, and more complex settlement processes, challenges that only grow more acute for organizations operating across multiple markets.
ForumPay’s innovative new payment flow is designed to solve these issues. Customers can initiate payments using any Visa, Mastercard, or bank transfer in selected markets, with those funds automatically used to purchase crypto and processed through ForumPay’s existing crypto payment infrastructure, with all of the inherent features and benefits, and converted and settled as per the preferences a merchant has already established on their account. Merchants will receive exactly the amount invoiced. For example, if a customer is billed $100, then $100 is what arrives in the merchant’s preferred bank account.
Critically, ForumPay will pass the additional card and bank transfer costs directly to the payer, meaning merchants pay only their usual crypto acceptance fees that would apply to any transaction processed through the platform. The approach allows businesses to expand the choice of available payment methods at checkout without taking on the compliance architecture, risks and costs that card acceptance would ordinarily require.
More Payment Options, the Same Operational Footprint
Businesses increasingly want to offer customers greater flexibility at checkout, but incorporating additional payment methods tend to bring with it additional operational burdens. Card acceptance, in particular, can introduce chargeback exposure, compliance requirements, fraud management responsibilities, and more complex settlement processes, challenges that only grow more acute for organizations operating across multiple markets.
ForumPay’s new payment flow is being designed to address this friction. Customers will be able to initiate payments using any Visa, Mastercard, or bank transfer in selected markets. Those funds are then automatically used to purchase digital assets and processed through ForumPay’s existing infrastructure, allowing merchants to continue receiving funds according to their established settlement preferences without having to overhaul their operations to accommodate the new options in the process. The approach, ForumPay says, allows businesses to expand what they can offer at checkout without taking on the compliance architecture that card acceptance would ordinarily require.
About ForumPay
ForumPay is a complete cryptocurrency-to-fiat payment technology firm; its core processing technology helps businesses attract new customers, optimize customers’ ability to spend, and increase revenue. ForumPay’s wallet-agnostic solution enables crypto consumers to spend their preferred cryptocurrency, from any wallet for everyday goods and services to luxury goods, automobiles, real estate, and private jets. ForumPay eliminates merchant exposure or risk by processing transactions with instant crypto-to-cash conversion. ForumPay merchants receive payments in the currency of their choice directly into their bank account. The transactional experience is similar to accepting other popular payment methods, including cash, credit cards, and bank transfers, but simpler, faster, and more secure.

Counter-UAS Market Set to Triple by 2030 as Defense Companies Position for Growth
Naples, FL, USA, August 11th, 2026, FinanceWire
Drones have become a growing security problem, and the market to stop them is expanding just as quickly. MarketsandMarkets estimates the global counter-unmanned aircraft systems market will grow from $6.64 billion in 2025 to $20.31 billion by 2030, representing a 25.1 percent compound annual growth rate. Within that forecast, AI-powered counter-UAS is the fastest-growing technology layer, projected to expand from $0.9 billion in 2025 to $6.2 billion by 2030. As governments and critical infrastructure operators look for ways to detect, track, and defeat increasingly sophisticated drone threats, defense companies are racing to build the next generation of counter-UAS technology. Several public companies are already staking positions in counter-UAS, approaching the opportunity from different angles.
Change Agents Corp. (Nasdaq: CHGA) has joined the Institute for Defense and Government Advancement, or IDGA, and will take part in the organization’s Counter UAS Summit. Now in its eighth year, the summit runs August 25 to 26 at the MGM National Harbor in Maryland under the chairmanship of retired General Glen VanHerck, former commander of North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command. IDGA expects more than 500 senior decision-makers, acquisition leaders, and program managers from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Customs and Border Protection, and law enforcement, placing Change Agents in direct contact with the buyers and technology developers shaping counter-drone procurement.
The summit role builds on the company’s August 4 launch of Autonomous Air Defense LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary formed to identify, evaluate, acquire, and develop autonomous air defense and counter-UAS technologies. That announcement also brought retired Major General Malcolm Frost onto the advisory boards of both Change Agents and the new subsidiary. Frost served 31 years in the U.S. Army, retiring as a two-star general after commanding the 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team of the 25th Infantry Division and serving as Deputy Commanding General of the 82nd Airborne Division. He is a West Point and Army War College graduate who deployed to Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan, and he advises public and private companies across the defense and technology sectors.
Change Agents built its business in agentic AI software, pairing an AI search optimization platform called Beacon with an autonomous content creation platform called Catch-Up, both sold on a subscription model. Management frames the counter-drone move as an outgrowth of that work rather than a break from it. Director Michael Mathews called the formation of Autonomous Air Defense LLC “a natural extension of the company’s broader artificial intelligence strategy” and tied the IDGA engagement to positioning the company to “capitalize on the significant long-term opportunities within the global counter-UAS market. ” Frost, in joining, pointed to the convergence of artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and next-generation counter-drone technology as one of the most important developments in modern defense.
That convergence is the opening Change Agents intends to pursue, and the sequence so far has been deliberate. In roughly a week the company has stood up a dedicated subsidiary, added a decorated defense advisor, and secured a place at the sector’s principal U.S. gathering. The company has said Autonomous Air Defense is evaluating multiple acquisition and partnership opportunities involving AI-enabled counter-drone technologies serving defense, homeland security, and critical infrastructure customers, and that it expects to provide further updates as developments occur.
Change Agents is entering a field already populated by well-funded public companies attacking the drone problem from different angles.
Ondas Inc. (Nasdaq: ONDS) is the closest analog to what Change Agents describes. Its Iron Drone Raider is an autonomous net-based interceptor built to neutralize hostile drones without jamming, paired with its Sentrycs platform for cyber and radio-frequency detection and identification, together mirroring the detect, identify, track, and intercept sequence Change Agents has said it wants to reach. Ondas posted first-quarter 2026 revenue of $50.1 million against a pro forma backlog of $457 million and in July raised its full-year 2026 revenue target to at least $525 million. In February its Airobotics subsidiary secured a multi-million-dollar order from a European customer in a NATO country following an Iron Drone Raider deployment at a major international airport, one of the few operational uses of an interceptor drone in a live civil-aviation setting.
AeroVironment (Nasdaq: AVAV) approaches the market as an established contractor. Its acquisition of BlueHalo, valued at roughly $4.1 billion and completed in May 2025, added directed energy, electronic warfare, and counter-UAS capabilities to a portfolio already known for the Switchblade family of loitering munitions. BlueHalo had delivered its 1,000th Titan radio-frequency counter-UAS system before the deal closed and was the first to operationally field a laser weapon system with LOCUST. The combination turned a former drone specialist into a diversified defense technology platform spanning radio-frequency, directed energy, and kinetic defeat, and it marks the scaled version of the category Change Agents is entering.
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (Nasdaq: KTOS) anchors the autonomous systems end of the field. Best known for the jet-powered XQ-58A Valkyrie, Kratos reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of $458.8 million, up 30.5 percent year over year and 19.1 percent organically, and raised full-year 2026 guidance to a range of $1.75 billion to $1.81 billion. Total backlog stood at $2.084 billion against a bid pipeline of $15.0 billion, a measure of how much defense money is now moving through unmanned and autonomous programs, and of the budgets, Change Agents is positioning to reach.
Ondas, AeroVironment, and Kratos map the opportunity from interceptor specialist to diversified prime, and they mark out the market Change Agents Corp. (Nasdaq: CHGA) has chosen to enter. What CHGA has established is a subsidiary, an advisor with two-star command experience, and access to the procurement community setting counter-drone requirements. What remains prospective is the technology itself, and the company has said it expects to report further developments as it works through the acquisition and partnership opportunities in front of it.
