Animoca Brands Japan joins Orbs as a validator

Orbs (ORBS) network, a fast-growing layer-three (L3) permissionless blockchain, has announced the addition of Animoca Brands Japan, a subsidiary of Animoca Brands, as a guardian node operator. The deliberate choice made by the Orbs team to work with Animoca Brands Japan will enhance the network’s overall security.

Orbs works in conjunction with existing L1 and L2 solutions such as Ethereum, TON, Polygon, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Fantom, and others, acting as a “decentralized backend” to enhance the functionality of EVM and non-EVM smart contracts, enabling new possibilities for applications such as Web 3.0, DeFi, NFTs, GameFi, etc.

In Orbs, the operators of validator nodes are called “Guardians” and are essential to secure the Orbs network’s Proof-of-Stake mechanism and innovative L3 technology. Leveraging these backbones, Orbs provides CeFi-level services to DeFi platforms and supports many DEX projects such as Sushiswap and PancakeSwap.

Solutions provided by Orbs:

  • dTWAP and dLIMIT: Advanced trading order solutions
  • Liquidity Hub: Aggregating DEX liquidity
  • Perpetual Hub: Comprehensive functionality and services for futures trading

Animoca Brands Japan offers a partner program that provides multifaceted support for marketing, token design, and exchange listing to support the global expansion of Japanese Web3 projects and the entry of Web3 projects into Japan, and is taking various steps to promote mass adoption of Web3.

By participating as a validator, Animoca Brands Japan will support the sound operation of the Orbs blockchain network, thereby promoting the further development of Orbs and the growth of Web3 projects that utilize Orbs.
