QuickSwap is asking its community to approve a full migration of its decentralized perpetual trading platform to Orbs Network. The proposal, posted on Snapshot for QUICK token holders to weigh in on, would move perpetuals infrastructure across all supported chains to Orbs’ Perpetual Hub.
QuickSwap would remain the front-end brand and trading venue, but the underlying execution and liquidity aggregation for perpetual contracts would run on Orbs’ Layer-3 infrastructure. The two projects would split revenue 50/50.
From Falkor to Orbs: the backstory
QuickSwap originally launched its perpetuals DEX, called Falkor, back in 2024. The broader partnership with Orbs stretches back even further, to September 2023, when the two teams deployed a Liquidity Hub designed to tackle liquidity fragmentation across chains and protocols.
Since then, the collaboration has expanded to include zero-gas swaps and MEV protection. MEV, or maximal extractable value, is the practice where validators or bots reorder transactions to extract profit at traders’ expense.
