How OpenOcean benefits traders

OpenOcean is dedicated to developing an ecosystem that’s beneficial to all types of traders in the current fragmented market. It empowers all individual traders and investment institutions to trade at the best prices and be able to apply their own investment strategies to various crypto asset classes.

OpenOcean offers crypto traders the best possible price with the lowest slippage. It makes use of an optimized version of the Dijkstra algorithm called D-star, which splits routing between different protocols for better rates. OpenOcean then compares the best prices on DEXs and CEXs before enabling traders to have their orders executed at the best possible rate.

The benefits of trading on OpenOcean can be summarized into:

  • OpenOcean offers the best price to traders by comparing the prices on aggregated DEXes with the best price on CEXes.
  • Provides traders with two Trading User Interface (Classic & Pro versions) to choose their preferred option of trading to suit both users of DEXes and CEXes.
  • Ability to perform cross-chain swap transactions via Binance Bridge and send it to any chain supported on your OpenOcean account.
  • Access to instant spot trading at the best possible prices with the lowest slippage possible across both DeFi and CeFi platforms.
  • Making use of OpenOcean APIs to customize your personal investment strategy.
  • Arbitrage between DEXes and CEXes at low costs

Comparison with other aggregators

There’s no other cryptocurrency aggregator that can be compared to OpenOcean. The ones that come close are 1Inch Exchange and Matcha which are also aggregators in the space but with low support for other blockchains networks and no support for centralized exchanges. 1Inch Exchange is currently focused on Ethereum Network and Binance Smart Chain Network for its DEX aggregation but OpenOcean supports more blockchain networks especially all mainstream public chains (which makes it multichain and interoperable between different blockchain networks).

OpenOcean will also offer full aggregation of derivatives, lending, and insurance products which will overcome Yearn Finance’s suite of products when it’s launched.
