ORC, The Dark Horse in OPEN Eco-Layout

Published

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 OCs 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.”

MultiHopper Partners with TRM Labs on Compliant Private Digital Asset Routing

Published

on

The integration brings TRM’s blockchain intelligence to power sanctions screening, AML controls, and wallet risk scoring into MultiHopper’s private programmable on-chain routing layer for digital asset transfers.

Singapore, Singapore, 26th Jun 2026 – MultiHopper, the programmable privacy routing protocol for digital assets, today announced a partnership with TRM Labs, the blockchain intelligence company trusted by leading financial institutions, crypto businesses, governments, and public sector agencies.

Through the partnership, MultiHopper is integrating TRM’s risk intelligence into its routing architecture to prevent OFAC-sanctioned, stolen, illicit, high-risk and otherwise restricted funds from using MultiHopper’s rails.

MultiHopper believes this creates an innovative architecture for regulatory-ready private programmable onchain routing: digital asset movement with privacy protections and compliance controls built into the network state itself. The solution is live today on Solana.

The announcement comes at a critical moment for crypto privacy.

Legacy privacy systems such as mixers, tumblers and shielded pools have repeatedly created regulatory and enforcement risk. Mixers, tumblers and pooled privacy systems became the defining example after being sanctioned by OFAC, which alleged that it had been used to launder billions of dollars of digital assets, including funds stolen by North Korea’s Lazarus Group.

Other privacy systems have attempted to address this problem with proof-of-innocence style mechanisms. But these approaches still generally sit around privacy pools or shielded environments, protocols or APIs, where funds enter a shared privacy system and compliance assurances are layered around that structure.

Unlike other protocols and layers trying to solve the “privacy trilemma”, MultiHopper differentiates by having no offchain components and no commingling. It also does not rely heavily on specialized cryptographic systems, which can create challenges when scaling across multiple assets and may be costly to develop, audit and maintain..

MultiHopper instead focuses on delivering a primitive which enables compliant onchain private programmable routing infrastructure. 

This unique approach differentiates significantly from existing approaches which make significant trade-offs in terms of compliance, legality, centralization, expense, and scalability. 

In most of the aforementioned solutions, the core regulatory risk is that sanctioned, stolen or illicit funds may enter a shared privacy environment and benefit from its anonymity set. In general, regulators do not approve of commingling activity. 

MultiHopper is designed so that this failure mode should not occur. MultiHopper is designed to screen transfers against TRM intelligence and block identified high-risk funds before they enter or exit the rails. Furthermore, assets cannot commingling as each transfer is a unique wrapper which will never be repeated, by design.

“Situations like infamous mixers and tumblers happened because privacy infrastructure allowed tainted funds and bad actors to use the same privacy environment as legitimate users,” said Enigma, the CEO and founder of MultiHopper and EnigmaFund Venture Capital. “That is not the model we are building. MultiHopper is compliance-gated private programmable routing. Part of our focus is to ensure that bad actors and their funds should not be able to enter the rails, exit the rails or use the rails. Privacy should protect legitimate users, not sanctioned actors, stolen funds or illicit finance.”

MultiHopper also differentiates in that it is onchain, never taking assets offchain, while remaining permissionless and non-custodial. 

Most crypto compliance today exists outside the protocol: in the exchange, the backend, the app, the interface, the custodian or the compliance department. MultiHopper is taking a different approach by adapting TRM’s stack into the routing layer itself.

The result is a new category of infrastructure: regulatory-ready private programmable onchain routing.

For developers, this means APIs for private digital asset movement without inheriting the regulatory dangers of other existing approaches.

For AI agents, it means private programmable payment rails with compliance controls designed into the architecture.

For wallets, protocols and institutions, it means a privacy routing layer that can reduce public exposure while defending against sanctioned addresses, stolen funds, illicit proceeds and AML risk.

MultiHopper’s compliance architecture is designed around a simple principle: privacy should not require pooled ambiguity, regulatory blindness or post-facto damage control.

The rails should defend themselves at the network level. 

By integrating TRM’s risk intelligence into the architecture, MultiHopper is building private programmable money infrastructure that can be used by serious developers, businesses, agents and institutions.

“Currently over $21TN USD of the world’s FIAT money passes through SWIFT every day. Double that if you count securities and RWAs. These all use private, compliant and secure rails. For that kind of volume to come to crypto we need an approach to having clean money in the system… especially for private transfers and DeFi. TRM gives us the intelligence we need to enforce that standard.”

Compliance-locked private programmable routing for digital assets is available immediately on Solana both via APIs for developers and AI agents at https://business.multihopper.com as well as for consumers at https://www.multihopper.com.

Toss Brings 30 Million Users Into the AI Data Economy in Partnership With Poseidon

Published

on

Palo Alto, United States, June 26th, 2026, Chainwire

Toss users can now contribute real-world data to train AI and get paid for it, in a first-of-its-kind model launching in Korea ahead of global expansion.

Poseidon, the data infrastructure built to source and license real-world data for AI, today announced a partnership with Toss, the mobile financial platform operated by Viva Republica, to let everyday users contribute to AI training and be paid for what they provide. It is Toss’s first move into AI data, and it opens that market to its roughly 30 million users.

Frontier AI has run out of internet to scrape. The next generation of models depends on real-world data, the kind that captures how people actually speak, move, and react, which does not exist on the open web and has never had a clean way to be sourced, licensed, or paid for. Poseidon is building the infrastructure to change that, and Toss brings the reach to do it at scale.

Through the partnership, Poseidon’s contributor app, Numo, launches inside the Toss app. Toss users can help build Korean-language training data across voice, image, and video, and receive payment tied directly to what they contribute. Poseidon provides the infrastructure that tracks each contribution and its value, while Toss provides the user base and the financial experience that turns participation into payment. Together they offer a working answer to a question the AI industry has struggled with, which is how to compensate the people whose data makes models better.

Every contribution made through Numo is registered on DATA, the AI data network that Poseidon refines data for. DATA gives each record a verifiable provenance trail through Trace, its public audit layer, so a buyer can see where a piece of training data came from and a contributor can see that their work was counted and paid. DATA Foundation, which launched this week from the rebrand of Story, is building this layer alongside integration partners including the human data marketplace Kled, and Poseidon is one of the largest sources of refined data flowing into it.

What Numo collects is first-person data, recorded by real people in real environments, which is among the hardest and most valuable categories to obtain. It is the raw material for physical intelligence, the AI that has to operate in the physical world across robotics, autonomous vehicles, and other applications. Demand from global AI labs for this kind of data is climbing, and Korea is positioned to supply it, with its dense real-life data and Toss’s user base. Poseidon and Toss intend to prove the model in Korea, then expand to global markets.

Changhoon Seo, Executive Director of New Business at Toss, said: “As the AI industry grows, demand for high-quality data is rising just as fast. Toss plans to build an environment where users can take part in the data economy more easily and naturally, and to expand a structure in which the value they contribute is rewarded transparently.”

SY Lee, Chief Strategy Officer and Chairman of Poseidon, said: “Korea is one of the few markets where the strategic importance of AI data, a mature financial system, and world-class mobile experience all exist at once. Toss is the right partner to turn user-contributed AI data from an early idea into a standard the rest of the world can adopt.” Lee previously founded the web-novel platform Radish and sold it to Kakao Entertainment, co-founded Story, the IP infrastructure that recently rebranded as DATA Foundation, and was named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum this year.

About Poseidon

Poseidon is the data infrastructure for AI, built to source, refine, and license the real-world data that frontier models need and the open internet cannot supply. Incubated by the team behind The DATA Network, Poseidon bridges the gap between data supply and AI demand by enabling access to high-quality, IP-safe, and composable training datasets. Poseidon raised a $15 million seed round led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). Poseidon’s contributor app, Numo, has recorded more than 711,000 data registrations worldwide and is available and is now available on the Toss app.
