What builders get
- Shared liquidity: Access the same liquidity layer used across the Orderly ecosystem.
- Orderbook infrastructure: Build on top of Orderly’s matching and order management services instead of operating your own engine.
- Omnichain user flows: Support registration, deposits, withdrawals, and trading from supported chains.
- Flexible integration paths: Choose between SDKs, UI components, Python tooling, or direct API access.
- Self-custody model: Users keep control of their wallets while interacting with your application.
High-level architecture
Orderly’s omnichain system is organized into three layers:
- Asset Layer: Lives on each supported chain and handles user-facing actions such as account registration, deposits, and withdrawals.
- Settlement Layer: Lives on a single chain and acts as the transaction ledger behind the scenes.
- Engine Layer: Runs the orderbook and related trading services used for order management and execution.
