Quickswap adopted Orbs' Perpetual Hub Ultra 2.0 as its default infrastructure for perpetual futures trading following a community governance vote with 81.8% support from QUICK token holders. The vote, titled 'Full Shift of Decentralized Perpetuals to Orbs Network,' replaces Quickswap's previous Orderly-powered Falkor deployment on Polygon PoS and expands the Orbs-based perpetuals platform the exchange launched on Base in late 2025. The transition aims to enable decentralized exchanges to compete with centralized platforms on execution quality and capital efficiency while maintaining on-chain transparency and self-custody.
Quickswap Approves Orbs Infrastructure with 81.8% Community Vote
The governance vote saw 81.8% of QUICK token holders approve the shift to Orbs' Perpetual Hub Ultra 2.0 across all chains supported by Quickswap. The new infrastructure replaces the exchange's existing Orderly-powered Falkor deployment on Polygon PoS. Quickswap and Orbs have collaborated for several years, with the decentralized exchange running Orbs-powered features such as dTWAP, dLIMIT, and Liquidity Hub across Polygon and Base.
Perpetual Hub Ultra 2.0 Delivers Full On-Chain Trading Stack
Perpetual Hub Ultra 2.0 provides a complete perpetual futures stack including execution, settlement, hedging, liquidation, pricing, and a professional trading interface. The system runs entirely on Orbs' Layer 3 infrastructure without third-party dependencies. Liquidity is available immediately through integrated routing across multiple deep venues, removing the need for bootstrapping at launch. The platform uses a TEE-secured execution environment and relies on cryptographically signed price feeds. State roots are committed on-chain through rollup settlement.
Ran Hammer: Execution Quality Rivals Centralized Venues
Ran Hammer, vice president of business development at Orbs, stated the upgrade signals a shift in how decentralized derivatives platforms compete. "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," Hammer said. "An 81.8% community vote says it all — decentralized markets are ready to compete with traditional finance on its own terms."
Quickswap and Orbs Platform Background
Quickswap, launched in 2020, is one of DeFi's longest-running exchanges and the leading trading venue in the Polygon ecosystem. QUICK token holders govern the platform, which operates on Polygon PoS and Base. Orbs is a decentralized Layer 3 network secured by delegated proof-of-stake, with more than 1.12 billion ORBS staked across its permissionless validator set. Both teams state that making Perpetual Hub Ultra 2.0 the default infrastructure positions decentralized exchanges to compete more directly with centralized platforms on execution quality, capital efficiency, and user experience.
