ORC, The Dark Horse in OPEN Eco-Layout

Published

5 years ago

on

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 

  1. 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.”

July 21, 2026

By

London, United Kingdom, July 21st, 2026, FinanceWire

Austen Little, Head of Product Development at withholding tax reclamation experts TaxTec, has released a summary guidance note on the deployment of AI in highly regulated financial services applications.

The guidance draws on TaxTec’s historical and recent product and service development experience to highlight several areas of risk when using or implementing artificial intelligence in capital markets financial services. Mr Little’s guidance note builds on advice from authorities such as the OECD [1], The World Economic Forum [2] and the International Monetary Fund [3], amongst others, urging caution over the risks of machine learning in financial services processes and decision making.

Mr Little highlights the fact that many financial markets processes, many of which are in the throes of regulatory digitalization, still present challenges for effective AI deployment, including:

  • Data quality issues – especially where processes are international and span multiple legislatures
  • The rate of digital evolution of the sector and changing regulatory regimes
  • The requirements for ‘explainability’ of client decisions (risk, approvals, entitlements)
  • The nature and scale of ‘harms’ possibly resulting from AI agent mistakes, and their likely impact on financial institutions
  • The AI-generated tension between financial services risk appetite and client service standards/reputation
  • Data governance and privacy considerations in data-hungry AI-driven world

Striking a balanced argument, however, Mr Little’s guidance note also highlights where the power and efficiency of AI can be safely deployed and generate substantial value. He points out specific examples from the world of withholding tax reclamation in order to give precise examples that readers can recognize and which are drawn from TaxTec’s real life experience. These include:

  • Document management
  • Data extraction
  • Data quality enhancement
  • Research assistance
  • Workflow management
  • Status monitoring
  • Analytics & forecasting

Dubai, UAE, July 21st, 2026, FinanceWire

  • 1inch now supports Maple’s syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT, giving users and builders another route into tokenized lending positions 
  • At launch, 1inch supports syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT on Ethereum, with more chain integrations coming in the future
  • 1inch provides routing and swap infrastructure only; minting, redeeming and lending stay with Maple

1inch, a leading DeFi ecosystem, today announced its integration of Maple’s syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT, two tokens tied to onchain institutional lending. As a routing and swap layer for the tokens, 1inch makes them tradable across its dApp and Swap API.

Maple is an onchain digital asset manager that connects institutional borrowers with lenders. Borrowers take stablecoin loans against overcollateralized crypto, while lenders supply USDC or USDT and receive syrupUSDC or syrupUSDT, tokens that represent their position in Maple’s lending system. Those tokens currently see around $8.5 billion in monthly transfer volume, highlighting the demand for infrastructure capable of supporting RWA markets at scale.

At launch, 1inch supports syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT on Ethereum, with more chain integrations coming in the future. On 1inch.com, users can access the tokens through Swap, Trade or Terminal. Through the 1inch Swap API, builders and institutional teams can integrate Maple swaps directly. Minting, redeeming and lending remain with Maple, while 1inch provides the routing and swap infrastructure.

RWA token liquidity can be fragmented across venues, chains and pools. 1inch routing facilitates efficient access to available liquidity and supports intent-based execution. For users moving between stablecoins and syrup tokens, this means less manual route hunting and a simpler path to execution.

“Tokenized private credit is one of the clearest signs that real-world assets are moving onchain for good, and syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT are among the most active tokens in that category,” said Sergej Kunz, co-founder of 1inch. “Our role is to remove the friction when swapping assets and enable users to move them freely. That’s the infrastructure 1inch has spent years building.”

“Our focus at Maple is building institutional-grade lending that performs onchain, but access is what turns that into adoption,” said Sid Powell, co-founder and CEO of Maple. “Working with 1inch gives users and builders a direct, efficient route into syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT on Ethereum. We manage the credit and deployment strategies; 1inch makes the tokens effortless to trade.”

Users can access on 1inch and explore Maple tokens across supported networks.

July 21, 2026

By

Custom shredding machines for tire, metal & plastic recycling, proven cost-cutting 25% at Sao Paulo Brazil waste tire recycling plant

Nanjing, China, 21st Jul 2026 – Nanjing Luma Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd., an established industrial shredder manufacturer founded in 2015, today announced the global launch of its upgraded full line of industrial shredding solutions, led by its heavy-duty dual-shaft shredder series.

The upgraded product line integrates wear-resistant interchangeable alloy blades, low-speed high-torque dual-shaft drive systems and automated hydraulic spiral feeding controls, directly solving global recyclers’ top pain points: low throughput, frequent blade replacement and frequent jamming downtime across tire recycling, scrap metal processing, plastic reclamation, construction waste and agricultural residue treatment. The flagship tire shredder model stably handles 10+ tons of whole truck, OTR and passenger tires daily, with customizable output tonnage from 3 tons to 20 tons based on client factory demands.

The series has already been successfully deployed in a waste tire recycling project in Sao Paulo, Brazil, boosting the client’s processing capacity by 40 percent. With this launch, the company seeks to expand its presence across South America, Southeast Asia and other global markets. All products are available for global ordering effective immediately.

Core Technical Features

The upgraded shredder line incorporates four key design upgrades, refined based on 11 years of industrial equipment manufacturing experience:

High-torque dual-shaft shredding technology

The low-speed, high-torque dual-shaft structure crushes intact steel-belted tires, heavy scrap metal and rigid construction debris in one pass, eliminating secondary pre-cutting procedures and cutting extra labor costs for recycling factories.

Replaceable high-wear alloy blades

Alloy blades undergo cryogenic heat treatment, boosting wear resistance by 65% and extending service cycles by over 2 times compared with standard blades. Quick disassembly design shortens blade replacement downtime by 70%, compatible with tire, metal, plastic, wood and construction waste shredder equipment.

Spiral feed and hydraulic control system

The integrated spiral feed structure and hydraulic system improve feeding efficiency and reduce material jamming risks, supporting stable continuous operation for heavy-duty shredder units.

High-precision shaft and heavy-duty chassis 

Precision-machined cutter shafts and fully welded steel chassis ensure equipment stability under high-load conditions, extending overall machine service life.

Field-Proven Performance in Brazil Project

The heavy-duty dual-shaft tire shredder was deployed at a waste tire recycling facility in Sao Paulo, Brazil, for a client processing passenger, truck and construction machinery tires.

After installation, the client’s daily tire processing volume increased by roughly 40 percent, while overall operating costs dropped by 25 percent. The equipment has run without major malfunctions during continuous operation, and its uniform shredding output improves efficiency of downstream steel wire separation and rubber granule production.

Product Portfolio and Customization Services

Luma offers a full range of industrial shredder models, including metal shredders, plastic shredders, rubber shredders, construction waste shredders, wood shredders, small shredders and spiral shredders, plus matching shredder blades, chassis and cutter shaft components.
Beyond standard models, the company provides tailored shredding solutions based on client material properties, required output capacity and site layout. Services cover full system design, equipment assembly, remote installation guidance and operator training.

Global Compliance Standards

All Nanjing Luma shredder equipment is manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 full quality control system and carries complete CE certification per EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC for global EU market access. All electrical, hydraulic and mechanical safety structures comply with Brazil NR-12 industrial machinery safety standards, Indonesia SNI, Thailand TISI and other mainstream regional certification norms for South American & Southeast Asian recycling markets. Full certification documents, safety operation manuals and conformity declarations are delivered with every machine shipment.

“The global launch of our upgraded dual-shaft shredder line reflects our focus on delivering reliable, cost-effective waste processing solutions to clients worldwide,” said Jiangshui Tao, general manager of Nanjing Luma Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd.“We aim to support more businesses in improving recycling efficiency and advancing circular economy goals, while expanding our global service footprint.”

“Our R&D team optimized every core component based on real-world project feedback, from blade material to control system logic,” said Heping Xia , technical director at Nanjing Luma Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd.“These upgrades directly address the most common pain points our clients report: jamming, fast blade wear and unstable long-term operation.”

Industry Context

According to Grand View Research, the global industrial waste recycling equipment market is projected to reach $12.8 billion by 2030, driven by tightening national waste disposal regulations, bans on illegal waste tire stockpiling, and surging demand for reclaimed rubber, scrap steel and recycled plastic materials across manufacturing and construction sectors.

In South America, Brazil introduced strict national waste tire management laws in 2023, mandating full centralized recycling of end-of-life truck and construction tires and imposing heavy fines for illegal landfilling. The policy pushes local recyclers to upgrade high-efficiency shredding systems, creating strong sustained demand for heavy-duty tire shredders. Meanwhile, Southeast Asian countries including Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand are accelerating waste recycling infrastructure construction, leading to year-on-year growth in orders for industrial shredding machinery.

Future Plans

Looking ahead, Luma will continue investing in R&D for industrial shredding technology, expanding its product range to cover more niche material processing needs.

The company also plans to build localized spare parts warehouses and sign regional authorized service partners across Brazil, Vietnam and Indonesia within the next two years, to deliver faster after-sales service, on-site machinery maintenance and real-time local-language technical guidance for global recycling clients. Nanjing Luma will also attend major regional waste recycling expos including Brazil FEIRA RECICLAGEM each year to provide on-site equipment demonstration and customized solution consultation for Latin American recyclers.

Media and Business Inquiries

Global tire, metal and plastic recycling factory owners looking for high-efficiency shredding equipment for South America or Southeast Asian production lines can contact Luma’s dedicated overseas sales team directly via WhatsApp to receive free customized capacity design drawings, equipment quotation and Brazil local compliance solution documents.
