ORC, The Dark Horse in OPEN Eco-Layout

Published

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.”

Caladan Launches API Liquidity: Institutional Access to Aggregated Digital Asset Liquidity Across 100+ Tokens

Published

May 26, 2026

By

Singapore, May 26th, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Institutional counterparties can now access executable streaming prices and RFQ liquidity for spot and perpetuals on 100+ digital assets through the Caladan API, launched today by Caladan, the largest Asia-headquartered market maker for digital assets.

Built on nearly a decade of active trading, Caladan continuously aggregates pricing and depth from 20+ on-chain protocols, 47+ centralised exchange integrations, and bilateral relationships. The result is a single pricing feed that delivers tighter spreads, higher fill rates, and full depth on long-tail tokens.

“Fragmentation is the defining liquidity challenge in digital assets today. A single exchange, a single counterparty, or a single OTC desk will always have an incomplete view of price and depth. We have spent nine years building the infrastructure to see the whole market simultaneously, and API Liquidity makes that infrastructure available to institutional participants through a single API connection.” – John Gu, CEO, Caladan

Why aggregation produces better pricing

Digital asset liquidity is highly fragmented across centralised exchanges, decentralised protocols, regional venues, bilateral broker-dealers, and OTC desks. Caladan’s sourcing model is the commercial differentiator. The firm facilitates over $170 billion in annual trading volume across more than 100 assets, which means its pricing engine is continuously calibrated against a wider range of market signals. The more heterogeneous the sourcing — on-chain, off-chain, bilateral, and platform-routed simultaneously — the tighter the spread and the deeper the available size at any given price point.

The broadest token coverage of any market maker

API Liquidity provides access to the top 100 tokens — the widest token coverage available from any market maker globally. Coverage spans spot and perpetuals.

For institutional participants managing diversified digital asset portfolios or building crypto-embedded products, this breadth eliminates the need to maintain multiple liquidity provider relationships to cover the full token universe.

Flexible connectivity and settlement

API Liquidity is designed for immediate integration with minimal development overhead. Counterparties can connect through the channel that fits their existing workflow:

  • Direct API: Native FIX connectivity (4.2, 4.4, 5.0) for firms that prefer a direct bilateral connection

  • Platform partners: Desks already connected to Talos, Finery Markets, or CrossX can access Caladan liquidity with no additional integration work

Settlement is handled through institutional partners, with options for fiat and stablecoins:

  • Hidden Road and BitGo Go Network for custodial settlement

  • Customers Bank CUBIX for fiat settlement in USD

  • USDT and USDC settlement available directly

Competitive credit and margin terms are available for qualifying counterparties. Fiat currency pairs including EUR and JPY are in development, with additional currencies in the pipeline.

About Caladan

Caladan is Asia’s largest digital asset market maker, headquartered in Singapore with teams across seven global offices. Since 2017, Caladan has facilitated over $170 billion in annual trading volume, operating across 65+ exchanges worldwide. The firm provides market-making, OTC trading, DeFi expertise, and investments to institutional participants globally.

AI Studios Launches Context-Aware Expressive TTS with 1,000+ AI Voices

Published

Emotionally intelligent text-to-speech engine reads context automatically — no manual tags required 

Palo Alto, Calif, May 26th 2026, AI Studios, the AI video and voice synthesis platform by DeepBrain AI (CEO Jay Jang), today announced a significant upgrade to its expressive text-to-speech (TTS) engine, delivering emotionally intelligent AI voices that automatically adapt tone, pacing, and delivery to match the context of any content.

The global TTS market is projected to surpass $104 billion by 2034, driven by surging demand for AI voices that sound human — not synthetic. AI Studios’ upgraded engine addresses this directly, moving beyond flat narration to produce voices that interpret meaning, carry emotion, and perform with the nuance of a trained voice actor.

The system requires no manual instruction tags. Rather than relying on preset emotion labels, the AI reads punctuation, sentence structure, and semantic context to automatically apply the most fitting tone and delivery. A sentence that builds dramatic tension sounds different from one that announces breaking news — even without any additional prompting. Subtle vocal textures like whispers, laughter, and breath are also rendered with precision, adding depth and realism that standard TTS cannot replicate.

To serve a wide range of creators and use cases, AI Studios offers more than 1,000 AI voices organized by content category — news, audiobooks, short-form video, live commerce, and education. Each category is tuned for its context: news voices carry authority and clarity, audiobook narrators build emotional arcs, short-form and live commerce voices drive engagement and urgency, and education voices balance warmth with precision. Creators can find the right voice immediately, without recording sessions or audio editing.

The expressive TTS engine integrates with AI Studios’ custom avatar and AI voice cloning services. Combined with the platform’s digital human technology — which replicates a person’s face, expressions, and gestures — the result is video content nearly indistinguishable from a real person on camera. Brands and educators can also clone a specific speaker’s voice and personality, building a consistent AI voice talent that scales across every piece of content without additional studio time.

“We’re moving past AI that recites text,” said Jay Jang, CEO of DeepBrain AI. “Expressive TTS that reads context and performs accordingly is the new baseline — and it changes what’s possible across audiobooks, short-form video, AI avatars, and beyond.”

AI Studios serves clients across finance, education, media, public services, and marketing, providing tools for AI avatar creation, AI voice synthesis, dubbing, and text-to-video production. The platform is developed by DeepBrain AI, a South Korean generative AI company.
