Kodiak Finance integrates Orbs’ dTWAP and dLIMIT into its Blockchain-based DEX

In this post:

• Kodiak Finance has integrated Orbs’ dTWAP and dLIMIT technologies into its Berachain-based DEX.
• The move brings institutional-grade trading tools such as time-weighted and limit orders to over 100,000 users.
• Kodiak has accumulated over $250 million in total value locked (TVL), strengthening its position as Berachain’s leading liquidity hub.

Kodiak Finance has announced today that it is integrating Orbs’ dTWAP (decentralized time-weighted average price) and dLIMIT protocols into its Berachain DEX. The integration will enable institutional-grade trading features for DeFi participants within the chain ecosystem. 

Kodiak has accumulated over $250 million in total value locked (TVL) and has a user base of more than 100,000, establishing it as Berachain’s largest liquidity hub. Adding Orbs’ technology will enable the platform to access advanced order types, such as those found in centralized exchanges (CEXs). These features will include automated time-sliced trades and customized limit orders. 

Kodiak expands trading capabilities on Berachain with Orbs’ tools

Kodiak announced today that integrating Orb’s technologies is expected to increase the firm’s current $4 billion in processed swap volume. The firm added that increased swap volume would provide deep liquidity and improved trade execution across its DEX.

The decentralized time-weighted average price (dTWAP) protocol enables large transactions to be divided into smaller orders, each executed at a desired interval. The protocol reduces price impacts such as slippage, a challenge faced by institutional and whale traders executing high-volume trades on-chain. The dTWAP protocol also creates the possibility of dollar-cost averaging DCA strategies, which allow traders to schedule recurring trades over time to manage exposure and volatility.

The dLIMIT feature, on the other hand, allows traders to set exact entry and exit prices rather than relying on immediate market execution. The feature offers enhanced control and flexibility, enabling traders to automate trades based on predefined conditions. It also removes the need for constant monitoring of trades, bridging the gap between centralized and decentralized markets. 

The Kodiak user interface (UI) has already been integrated with the dTWAP Market and dTWAP Limit orders, enabling adaptive trading that considers current gas fees and market volatility. This addition aligns with Kodiak’s goal of providing an intuitive, non-custodial environment where traders and liquidity providers can operate seamlessly and transparently.

Orbs’ L3 technology reinforces Berachain’s Proof of Liquidity Consensus

The integration revealed Orbs’ growing role as an L3 blockchain that supports advanced execution logic beyond traditional smart contracts. Orbs operates on a Proof-of-Stake consensus model and serves as a supplementary execution layer. It enhances the functionality of decentralized apps without altering the base blockchain. The protocol product suite includes dLIMIT, dTWAP, Liquidity Hub, and Peerpetual Hub, which extend DeFi’s capabilities by allowing for automation similar to TradFi.

Berachain architecture will benefit from enhanced competitiveness against established EVM-compatible chains such as BNB Smart Chain, Avalanche, and Polygon. Cryptopolitan covered a story on BSC’s whitepaper, outlining that it was built with Ethereum compatibility to allow the migration of dApps. The smart chain operates on the Proof of Staked Authority (PoSA) consensus model, which combines Proof of Authority and Delegated Proof of Stake. 

Meanwhile, Berachain utilizes the Proof of Liquidity consensus model, an extension of the Proof of Stake model that incorporates structured incentive mechanisms. The model incentivizes DeFi activities over asset lockup while adding security and decentralization to the network. Kodiak Finance currently serves as the native liquidity hub for the Berachain, allowing users to launch tokens and providing liquidity for various assets. The chain offers capital-efficient trading through concentrated and full-range AMMs, reducing slippage swaps.
