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.”

General Compute has opened its production inference cluster to developers building agent applications, running SambaNova SN40 and SN50 dataflow silicon that posts the fastest independently benchmarked speeds on the MiniMax M2.7 model family.
San Francisco, California, United States, 22nd May 2026 – General Compute today announced the general availability of General Compute Cloud, the first ASIC-native neocloud purpose-built for the next generation of autonomous AI development tools. Where existing neoclouds rack incumbent GPUs, General Compute has designed its serving stack around its inference-optimized ASICs.
Unlike traditional cloud platforms designed around human operators clicking through dashboards, General Compute Cloud is also the first major cloud to treat AI agents as first-class users. Coding agents can complete the entire onboarding flow themselves, creating an account, claiming the launch credit, and retrieving a working API key, without requiring a developer to step in. The result: a developer can ask their AI agent to “switch its inference to General Compute,” and minutes later be looking at running infrastructure they never had to provision by hand.
Agentic workloads issue dozens or hundreds of model calls per task, which means even small per-token gains compound into dramatic differences in developer experience and unit economics. By optimizing the silicon, runtime, and API surface for inference rather than retrofitting general-purpose accelerators, General Compute aims to push down both first-token latency and sustained token throughput on the open and frontier models developers use most.
Agent-native signup is supported out of the box. When invoked through OpenCode, OpenClaw, or any compatible client, the agent can complete account creation, verify the workspace, claim launch credit, and return a scoped API key back to the developer’s environment — turning what was historically a multi-step onboarding into a single natural-language instruction.
“Our goal is simple: we want General Compute to be the fastest inference provider on the market, and we want to ship the fastest inference API any developer or AI agent can call,” said Jason Goodison, CTO and co-founder of General Compute. “Optimizing the silicon is how we get there. The $200 in launch credit is our way of inviting builders, and their agents, to put us up against anyone else and see the numbers for themselves.”
General Compute Cloud is available immediately to customers globally at generalcompute.com. The launch credit is automatically applied to new accounts created between May 20 and May 27, 2026. OpenCode and OpenClaw users can begin a General Compute session directly from within their agent by asking it to “sign me up for GeneralCompute.com”
About General Compute
General Compute is the first ASIC-native neocloud, building custom inference silicon and the cloud platform that runs on it. The company’s stated goal is to operate the fastest inference provider and the fastest inference API for AI agents and the developers who deploy them. Founded in 2025 and headquartered in San Francisco, General Compute is backed by leading technology investors. Learn more at generalcompute.com.

Post Oak Group, recently named the Top Middle-Market Investment Bank in Texas, is reporting a meaningful acceleration in transaction activity across the middle market
Houston, Texas, United States, 22nd May 2026 – As broader M&A markets continue to navigate shifting macroeconomic conditions, interest rate normalization, and evolving buyer behavior, the middle market has emerged as the strongest and most active segment of dealmaking in 2026. Post Oak Group, recently named the Top Middle-Market Investment Bank in Texas, is reporting a meaningful acceleration in transaction activity across the middle market, a trend the firm sees as reshaping the broader M&A landscape heading into the second half of the year.
While large-cap M&A has remained selective and mega-deal volume has been uneven, the middle market is demonstrating a level of consistency, resilience, and deal momentum that distinguishes it as the most reliable segment of the 2026 cycle. Founders, family-owned businesses, sponsor-backed companies, and institutional buyers are all returning to the table with renewed conviction, driving a broad-based resurgence in middle-market deal activity.
Post Oak Group, a leading middle-market investment bank headquartered in Houston, Texas, attributes this strength to several converging dynamics:
A Narrowing Bid-Ask Spread
After two years of valuation disconnects between buyers and sellers, expectations are aligning. Sellers have adjusted to the current rate environment, and buyers, particularly private equity, family offices, and strategic acquirers, are showing increased willingness to transact at levels that work for both sides. This is one of the most significant unlocks for middle-market deal flow in 2026.
Renewed Buyer Appetite Across Multiple Channels
Private equity firms with record levels of dry powder are deploying capital aggressively into the middle market, where competition for high-quality assets remains intense but more rational than during the 2021 peak. At the same time, family offices have emerged as a dominant force, often outcompeting traditional sponsors on founder-led deals where cultural fit, longer hold periods, and operational alignment matter as much as price.
Strategic Acquirers Returning to the Table
Corporate buyers are increasingly active in the middle market as they pursue tuck-in acquisitions, sector consolidation, and capability-driven deals. With many large public companies focused on disciplined growth, the middle market has become a primary source of strategic optionality.
Sector Breadth Driving Sustained Activity
Unlike prior cycles concentrated in a handful of sectors, 2026 middle-market activity is broad-based, spanning industrial services, healthcare services, energy transition, business services, technology-enabled services, and consumer-driven verticals. This diversification is one of the key reasons the segment is proving more durable than the broader M&A market.
A Shift Toward Quality and Certainty
Buyers and sellers alike are placing a premium on certainty to close, disciplined diligence, and well-prepared processes. This favors middle-market transactions, where senior-led advisory, structured execution, and relationship-driven dealmaking continue to outperform.
As the Top Middle-Market Investment Bank in Texas, Post Oak Group has been at the center of this resurgence, advising founders, shareholders, and institutional clients across complex M&A and capital markets transactions throughout 2026. The firm’s partner-led model, institutional-grade execution, and deep sector coverage have positioned it as a trusted advisor in a market environment where preparation, precision, and process integrity are more important than ever.
“The middle market has consistently demonstrated its ability to perform across cycles, and 2026 is proving to be one of its strongest years in recent memory,” said David Chua, Managing Partner of Mergers & Acquisitions at Post Oak Group. “We are seeing renewed confidence from buyers, recalibrated expectations from sellers, and a meaningful expansion in transaction activity across nearly every sector we cover.”
“What makes this cycle different is the breadth of activity,” Chua added. “Founders are coming to market with stronger businesses, sponsors are deploying capital with greater discipline, and strategic acquirers are returning in force. The middle market is where most of the meaningful dealmaking is happening right now, and we expect that momentum to continue through the back half of the year.”
About Post Oak Group
The Post Oak Group is a prominent middle-market investment bank headquartered in Houston, Texas. As the Top Middle-Market Investment Bank in Texas, the firm advises founders, shareholders, and institutional investors across M&A advisory and capital markets transactions. With approximately 300 professionals, a leadership team representing more than 250 years of combined investment banking experience, and more than $82 billion in completed transactions across 12 countries, Post Oak Group combines institutional-quality execution with senior-led, partner-driven engagement across industrial services, healthcare, energy, business services, technology-enabled services, and consumer sectors.
