QuickSwap Adopts Orbs Perpetual Hub Ultra 2.0 as Default Perps Infrastructure

QuickSwap is making a significant bet on the future of decentralized derivatives.

Following an overwhelming community vote, one of DeFi's longest-running decentralized exchanges has selected Orbs' Perpetual Hub Ultra 2.0 as its default perpetual futures infrastructure, replacing its previous Orderly-powered solution and consolidating all future perpetual trading on Orbs' Layer-3 network.

The governance proposal, titled "Full Shift of Decentralized Perpetuals to Orbs Network," passed with 81.8% support from QUICK token holders, signaling strong community backing for the transition.

A Community-Driven Upgrade

The integration replaces the Falkor perpetuals platform previously running on Polygon PoS while expanding on the existing partnership between QuickSwap and Orbs.

The two projects are already closely connected. Over the past several years, QuickSwap has deployed Orbs-powered products including dLIMIT, dTWAP and Liquidity Hub across Polygon PoS and Base. In late 2025, the companies also launched an Orbs-powered perpetual futures platform on Base.

The latest vote takes that relationship a step further by making Perpetual Hub Ultra 2.0 the exchange's standard perpetual trading infrastructure across all supported networks.

Building a Complete Perpetual Trading Stack

Rather than relying on multiple third-party providers, Perpetual Hub Ultra 2.0 delivers an end-to-end infrastructure stack covering execution, settlement, pricing, liquidations, hedging and liquidity management.

One of its biggest advantages is immediate access to deep liquidity through integrated liquidity sources, allowing new perpetual markets to launch without the lengthy bootstrapping process many decentralized exchanges face.

The platform also supports features more commonly associated with centralized exchanges, including:

• Market and limit orders

• Stop-loss and take-profit orders

• Advanced bracket orders

• One-click trading

• Account abstraction

• Gasless transactions

Execution is secured through Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) technology, while price data is verified through cryptographically signed feeds before settlement is finalized onchain.

Bringing CeFi Trading to DeFi

For both teams, the integration is about narrowing the gap between centralized and decentralized trading experiences.

"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," said Ran Hammer, Vice President of Business Development at Orbs.

"An 81.8% community vote says it all—decentralized markets are ready to compete with traditional finance on its own terms."

QuickSwap's Next Chapter

Since launching in 2020, QuickSwap has grown into one of the Polygon ecosystem's flagship decentralized exchanges, expanding beyond spot trading into perpetual futures while maintaining community governance through the QUICK token.

By standardizing on Orbs across its perpetual trading infrastructure, the exchange is positioning itself to offer faster execution, deeper liquidity and a more professional trading experience while preserving one of DeFi's defining advantages: self-custody.

As competition between decentralized and centralized exchanges intensifies, infrastructure is increasingly becoming the differentiator.

QuickSwap's latest move suggests the next generation of decentralized derivatives won't simply compete on decentralization—they'll compete on execution quality, liquidity and user experience as well.
