Key highlights:
- QuickSwap has replaced its previous perpetual futures infrastructure after 81.8% of participating QUICK token holders backed the proposal.
- Orbs’ Perpetual Hub Ultra 2.0 delivers execution, settlement, pricing, liquidation, and liquidity through a single Layer-3 infrastructure.
- The integration expands an existing partnership between QuickSwap and Orbs, which has already deployed multiple trading tools across Polygon PoS and Base.
Community vote paves the way for expanded Orbs integration
QuickSwap has adopted Orbs’ Perpetual Hub Ultra 2.0 as the default infrastructure for perpetual futures trading across all of its supported blockchain deployments. The decision follows a community governance proposal titled “Full Shift of Decentralized Perpetuals to Orbs Network,” which received 81.8% approval from participating QUICK token holders.
The upgrade replaces the exchange’s previous Orderly-powered Falkor deployment on Polygon PoS while expanding on an Orbs-powered perpetual futures platform that launched on Base during the fourth quarter of 2025. The two projects have collaborated for several years, with QuickSwap already using Orbs-powered products such as dTWAP, dLIMIT, and Liquidity Hub on Polygon PoS and Base.
Perpetual Hub Ultra 2.0 brings a complete trading infrastructure
Perpetual Hub Ultra 2.0 combines execution, settlement, pricing, liquidation, hedging, and a trading interface into a single platform running natively on Orbs’ Layer-3 infrastructure. According to the companies, the system is designed without third-party infrastructure dependencies and provides immediate access to liquidity by sourcing it from multiple external venues rather than relying on liquidity bootstrapping after launch.
“This is what the next phase of DeFi looks like: a top-tier DEX running a complete perps stack natively on Layer-3, with liquidity from day one and execution quality that rivals centralized venues. An 81.8% community vote says it all – decentralized markets are ready to compete with traditional finance on its own terms.”
—Ran Hammer, VP of Business Development at Orbs
The infrastructure includes a trusted execution environment (TEE) that progressively executes transactions using cryptographically signed price feeds, while state roots are committed on-chain through rollup settlement. It also supports market, limit, stop-loss, take-profit, and bracket orders, alongside one-click trading, account abstraction, and gasless transaction flows.
QuickSwap has operated since 2020 and has become one of the longest-running decentralized exchanges within the Polygon ecosystem. Governed through the QUICK token, the protocol now operates across Polygon PoS and Base while continuing to expand its decentralized trading services.
Orbs serves as a decentralized Layer-3 blockchain that extends the capabilities of smart contracts by providing an additional execution layer for advanced trading logic. Its delegated Proof-of-Stake network is secured by more than 1.12 billion ORBS tokens staked, supporting a range of decentralized trading protocols focused on improving execution quality.
The bottom line
By making Perpetual Hub Ultra 2.0 the default perpetual futures infrastructure across its deployments, QuickSwap is deepening its long-standing relationship with Orbs while consolidating its perpetual trading services under a single Layer-3 framework. The integration is intended to provide institutional-grade trading functionality, broader liquidity access, and more advanced order execution while maintaining the transparency and self-custody associated with decentralized finance.
