In a bid to bring institutional‑grade trading tools to onchain markets, decentralized exchanges ArbiDex and BaseSwap have jointly relaunched their user interfaces and integrated Orbs’ flagship dLIMIT and dTWAP protocols. The upgrade equips Arbitrum and Base users with sophisticated order types that were once exclusive to centralized platforms, all without disrupting the intuitive experience traders have come to expect.
Since the relaunch, anyone swapping assets on ArbiDex or BaseSwap can now choose between “dLIMIT” and “dTWAP” directly from the familiar swap screen. Ever wished you could snag that perfect price? That’s exactly what dLIMIT does—your trade only fires off when the market hits (or beats) the number you’ve picked.
And if you’re tackling a hefty order, dTWAP quietly slices it into smaller bites over time so you don’t end up driving the price up yourself. By embedding Orbs’ advanced order capabilities into its front ends, ArbiDex is giving DeFi users tools that rival the best in TradFi. And because the UIs remain essentially the same, there’s zero learning curve—just better outcomes.
Gold Standard for Decentralized Algorithmic Orders
Behind the scenes, both exchanges tapped into Orbs’ Layer‑3 (L3) scaling technology. Operating as a supplementary execution layer, Orbs employs a Proof‑of‑Stake consensus to handle complex scripting and logic that would otherwise bloat base smart contracts. Over the past year, Orbs’ dLIMIT and dTWAP have seen dozens of integrations across EVM networks, swiftly earning a reputation as the gold standard for decentralized algorithmic orders.
On the upgraded platforms, switching to a dLIMIT or dTWAP swap brings up a clear, step‑by‑step interface. An “Order History” tab neatly logs all past trades, giving users transparent visibility into each execution. Traders can customize the number of slices for dTWAP orders and set precise time intervals, whether they wish to scale into a position over minutes, hours, or days.
Whether you’re managing a multi‑million‑dollar treasury or deploying yield‑farming proceeds, precise control over execution timing and price is critical. Integrating Orbs’ tech allows BaseSwap to meet that demand head‑on.
Beyond advanced orders, the relaunch also brings fresh visual designs and incentive programs tailored to each network’s community. ArbiDex has rolled out liquidity‑mining rewards for Arbitrum pairs that utilize dLIMIT and dTWAP, while BaseSwap is offering fee discounts to early adopters of the new order types. The dual focus on usability and rewards underlines both teams’ strategies to cement their positions at the heart of onchain trading.
Innovation Beyond Traditional Models
Orbs itself has been on a rapid ascent. In addition to dLIMIT and dTWAP, its ecosystem includes Liquidity Hub—an aggregator for cross‑chain liquidity—and Perpetual Hub, which enables onchain perpetual futures. Together, these protocols showcase how a dedicated L3 can expand the native capabilities of smart contracts, marrying the flexibility of DeFi with the execution quality of CeFi.
While DeFi becomes more mature, the lines between decentralized and centralized trading is expected to blur. We’re moving into an era where users want not just permissionless access, but also sophisticated order routing and risk management. Integrations like these show that decentralized exchanges aren’t just catching up, they’re innovating beyond traditional models.
The relaunch comes amid a broader wave of upgrades across the DEX landscape. With gas costs on Arbitrum and Base networks remaining competitive, and interoperability improving rapidly, more traders are willing to shift mountains of capital onchain. By aligning with Orbs’ protocol suite, ArbiDex and BaseSwap aim to capture that flow, offering a next‑generation trading experience built for both newcomers and seasoned professionals.
Users of ArbiDex and BaseSwap can look forward to further enhancements. Both teams have hinted at upcoming integration with onchain perpetual futures, leveraging Orbs’ Perpetual Hub, as well as deeper analytics dashboards to help traders optimize strategies. For now, though, the addition of dLIMIT and dTWAP marks a significant milestone—one that brings professional‑grade execution firmly into the decentralized realm.
