As of now, Orbiter Finance’s cross-chain solution has served the asset transfer needs of over 3 million users. Additionally, the recent protocol secured a strategic funding agreement from OKX Ventures, although the specific investment details were not disclosed.

Orbiter stated in the announcement:

Orbiter Rollup is preparation for a future omni-connection. This means that by accessing the interface, users can not only transfer assets but also all data across all layer-2.

Through Orbiter Rollup, the protocol hopes to become a central hub connecting with all other layer-2 solutions. Accordingly, Orbiter’s new solution will compete with ZK layer-2 projects such as Manta Pacific, zkSync, and Polygon zkEVM.

In the end, we believe that in the overall layer-2 landscape, users will only need an EVM-compatible account to explore the entire Ethereum ecosystem.
