What is OpenOcean (OOE)? All about OOE token

What is OpenOcean?

OpenOcean is the world's first full aggregation protocol for crypto trading that sources liquidity from DeFi and CeFi, and enables cross-chain swaps. 

How does OpenOcean work? 

OpenOcean searches across DEXes and CEXes to find and optimize the best trading options for various crypto assets on different public blockchains. It supports cross-chain swaps between the aggregated public chains via cross-chain protocols and will support direct cross-chain transactions once the infrastructure is mature. Users only need to pay the normal blockchain gas fees and exchange fees for the trades, which are charged by the exchanges and not OpenOcean.

Normally when doing a trade on OpenOcean, the protocol will execute these 3 steps:

• Price quotation from DEXes and CEXes.
• Optimize and find the best trading routes for the best price with low slippage.
• Communicate the prices to users and execute trades.

What are OpenOcean’s features?

• Swap with the best price and lowest slippage possible on the market.
• Arbitrage between DEXes and CEXes.

Take the case as an example illustrating the Arbitrage feature on OpenOcean:

• A user has 1000 LINK on Binance account.
• The LINK/USDC price on a DEX is 12.5987.
• At the same time, the best price found by OpenOcean for that trading pair is 12.293 → LINK/USDC currency pair on CEX (Binance) has a better price compared to the price on DEXes.
• Traders can exchange 1000 LINK for 12293 USDC on Binance and then exchange that 12293 USDC for 1024.8 LINK on OpenOcean at the same time. The net gain of the arbitrage transaction is 24.8 LINK, and the net profit ratio for the transaction is 2.48%.

Why is OpenOcean unique? 

• Offers the best price to users by comparing the prices on DEXes with the best price on CEXes.
• Transparent pricing mechanism: OpenOcean does not charge additional protocol transaction fees rather than the normal blockchain gas fees and exchange fees which are charged by the aggregated exchanges.
• Cross-chain support: OpenOcean supports cross-chain swaps between the aggregated public chains via cross-chain protocols and will support direct cross-chain transactions once the infrastructure is mature.
• Derivatives, lending, and insurance products aggregation: Based on user needs the protocol will expand product scope into derivatives, both from DeFi and CeFi. In terms of the aggregation of derivatives, traders in the future can trade both long and short on multiple exchanges simultaneously. In addition, OpenOcean will also aggregate lending and insurance products, as well as provide intelligent investment services to help users participate in the DeFi & CeFi ecosystem easily.

Is OOE a good investment?

Below are some highlights for your consideration:

• All OpenOcean public contracts have passed security auditing executed by Certik on March 9, 2021, and SlowMist on February 18, 2021, without any issues. The team also has done a pretty good job catching up the roadmap and finishing their goals on time.
• Lower fees: The trading fee for swapping with OpenOcean Liquidity Pools is a flat 0.2% - which is lower than the industry standard of 0.25% or higher (0.3% for Uniswap and 0.25% for Pancake Swap). 0.15% goes back to the liquidity providers and 0.05% to the treasury.
• Even though the project has a good idea and it has a good mechanism, it has not attracted a lot of attention yet. Since OpenOcean acts as an aggregator, sources liquidity from DeFi and CeFi, and enables cross-chain swaps, the more Dexes and Cexes it can aggregate, the better. During this week, OpenOcean has announced the aggregation of Fantom and its leading DEXes: SpookySwap, SpiritSwap, SushiSwap, and Curve. OpenOcean’s plan is to continue to integrate other public chains as well as centralized trading platforms such as Coinbase, Bitfinex, Bitmex, etc.
• OpenOcean will implement limit order functions by integrating Chainlink’s price feeds.
