Ionex, a newly launched decentralized exchange (DEX) by DefiZoo, has announced the integration of Perpetual Hub Ultra, powered by Orbs, to deliver institutional-grade perpetual futures trading to Plasma. The integration positions Orbs’ Layer-3 technology as the go-to solution for DEXs seeking plug-and-play perpetuals infrastructure to expand their trading capabilities.
With Orbs’ Perpetual Hub Ultra, Ionex users gain access to deep liquidity, customizable leverage, and efficient execution through a fully managed, modular perps stack. The integration marks another milestone in Orbs’ growing ecosystem, following numerous successful deployments of Perpetual Hub, and further establishes Orbs as the leading decentralized infrastructure for turnkey derivatives in DeFi.
“Perpetual Hub Ultra makes it possible for any DEX to offer customized, high-performance perps trading experience, with full white label stack out of the box,” said Ran Hammer, Vice President of Business Development at Orbs. “By integrating with Ionex, we are enabling a new standard for decentralized markets that rivals centralized trading in both speed and efficiency.”
Perpetual Hub Ultra: A Scalable Solution for Decentralized Derivatives
Built on Orbs’ Layer-3 infrastructure, Perpetual Hub Ultra is developed in collaboration with Symm.io. It provides everything DEXs need to launch a high-performance perps platform, including hedging, liquidation, oracles, and a professional-grade user interface. Designed for scalability and capital efficiency, Ultra enables liquidity routing from both onchain and offchain sources, including major centralized exchanges such as Binance. This allows DEXs and aggregators to offer deep execution without the need for specialized chains or complex integrations.
As intent-based trading continues to dominate decentralized spot markets, Perpetual Hub Ultra brings the same model to perps, empowering a new generation of decentralized trading venues to compete with centralized exchanges in performance, flexibility, and user experience.
Ionex: Unifying Spot and Perpetual Markets
Ionex, operating entirely on Plasma, is more than a DEX. It is a liquidity marketplace and trading hub that offers seamless token swaps, liquidity provision with $INX rewards, and DAO-driven governance for emission control. The platform’s MetaDEX module unifies spot and perpetual markets into a secure, all-in-one trading experience. At its core is the MetaPerp, a new category of self-custodial perpetuals powered by Orbs’ Perpetual Hub, offering CeFi-grade execution with up to 60× leverage and sub-100ms fills.
The integration of Perpetual Hub Ultra with Ionex strengthens Orbs’ position as the leading provider of Layer-3 decentralized infrastructure for trading, accelerating the transition of complex financial products to the blockchain.
