Exploring the Future of DeFi: Orderly Network Co-founder Discusses Liquidity Challenges and Solutions
Voice of Builders in the Encryption Industry: In-depth Exploration of the Future Development of Decentralized Finance
In the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency industry, numerous innovators and pioneers are shaping the landscape of Web3. To gain deeper insights into the stories and perspectives of these industry builders, a dialogue series focusing on outstanding leaders in the cryptocurrency field has emerged. This series will explore the technological innovations of mainstream cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as the applications of other emerging technologies, analyzing how these innovations are transforming the global economic system and the cryptocurrency market. At the same time, it will also address the regulatory challenges faced by the industry, market trends, and how to cope with volatility.
This article is part of the series of dialogues, featuring a special guest, Ran Yi, co-founder of Orderly Network. Below are the main points of the conversation:
Host: Ran, could you please briefly introduce the value proposition and grand vision of Orderly Network?
Ran Yi: The vision of Orderly Network is to become the liquidity layer in the Web3 ecosystem. We are committed to supporting thousands of cross-chain asset transactions, building a fully decentralized platform, and promoting the democratization of governance and revenue sharing. The core goal of Orderly is to address the issue of liquidity fragmentation in the DeFi market while providing users with a seamless trading experience similar to that of centralized exchanges.
Host: What are the key challenges currently facing the DeFi field, and how is Orderly Network addressing these challenges?
Ran Yi: DeFi currently faces significant challenges such as fragmented liquidity, high transaction costs, and complex user experiences. These issues hinder the widespread adoption of Decentralized Finance. Orderly Network significantly enhances user experience by reducing friction for users switching between different blockchains through cross-chain liquidity sharing. In addition, we are committed to lowering transaction costs and providing efficient transaction speeds, making decentralized platforms comparable to centralized platforms in terms of experience.
Host: What efforts has Orderly Network made to make Decentralized Finance more user-friendly and acceptable to mainstream users?
Ran Yi: We have made significant innovations in technology, especially in user experience and cross-chain interoperability. Orderly aims to become the "CME" of Web3, allowing all decentralized applications to share liquidity and reduce the liquidity fragmentation issues caused by insufficient cross-chain connectivity. Our goal is to provide users with a consistent trading experience on any chain without worrying about liquidity or technical complexity.
Host: The competition between Decentralized Exchanges (DEX) and Centralized Exchanges (CEX) is becoming increasingly fierce. How does Orderly Network position itself in this competition?
Ran Yi: Centralized exchanges hold a significant market share in terms of liquidity. However, we believe that decentralized and open ecosystems possess stronger long-term viability. Orderly's advantage lies in its decentralized liquidity aggregation model, which gathers liquidity from various market participants, allowing us to surpass existing centralized platforms in terms of liquidity and user experience. Our positioning is to become the infrastructure that supports the liquidity of any asset, ultimately surpassing centralized exchanges at all levels.
Host: Partnerships are crucial in the DeFi ecosystem. What strategies does Orderly Network have in this regard, and are there any particularly exciting collaborations to look forward to?
Ran Yi: Cooperation is crucial for us. Orderly is not just an independent platform, but also an open liquidity ecosystem that allows other decentralized platforms and applications to build and share resources on it. We place great importance on collaboration with other platforms, as this enables us to jointly promote the development of the Decentralized Finance ecosystem. For example, our partnerships with multiple decentralized platforms allow us to provide better liquidity support and user experience.
Host: What do you think is the biggest obstacle to the true mainstream adoption of Decentralized Finance? How will Orderly Network help overcome these obstacles?
Ran Yi: I believe that the biggest obstacle to the mainstream adoption of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) lies in user experience and the regulatory environment. Although DeFi offers unique advantages such as decentralization and transparency, the complex user experience and uncertain regulatory environment remain significant barriers to its widespread use. Orderly Network addresses these challenges by lowering technical barriers and enhancing user experience, while we are also actively engaging in dialogue with regulators to ensure that our platform can meet future compliance requirements.
Host: Looking ahead, what are the key milestones and development plans for Orderly Network?
Ran Yi: Our future plans include further expanding cross-chain interoperability, supporting more blockchains, and launching new trading products, such as spot and options trading. Our goal is to make Orderly the core platform supporting liquidity for any asset within the next 12 to 18 months. We believe that through continuous technological innovation and ecosystem development, Orderly Network will play a key role in promoting Decentralized Finance to mainstream applications.
Host: Finally, do you have any advice for those listeners who are not very familiar with Decentralized Finance or wish to get involved?
Ran Yi: For beginners, I recommend first understanding the basic concepts of Decentralized Finance and risk management. At the same time, it is very important to choose a platform with a good user experience, as this can reduce the friction you encounter during the learning and usage process. Orderly Network is committed to providing an easy-to-use and powerful platform, making it a reliable choice for both beginners and experienced traders.
Host: Thank you for Ran's wonderful sharing, today's interview was very substantial. The future of Decentralized Finance is full of possibilities, and I look forward to more breakthroughs from Orderly Network in the future.
