Open Finance Network Launched on Matic Network by OroPocket

OroPocket, in collaboration with Matic Network, has announced the arrival of Open Finance Protocol or OpFi so that the users can seamlessly invest in real-world assets.

Open Finance is a fintech protocol that allows the user possession of the real-world assets on the blockchains. It also allows the developers to build applications on top of it. Since it is open, the protocol enables seamless integration of the other on-chain apps. The OpFi will allow the institutional investors to participate in the blockchain crypto and DeFi economy as it offers high liquidity and instant settling. The OpFi protocol successfully bridges the gap between Decentralized Finance or DeFi and traditional finance. Open Finance encourages participation through the creation of yield on Gold and stocks. The long term investors are thus able to create added value on their assets. 

What are the five principal components of the Open Finance Protocol?

Tokenization of the real-world assets

Assets and commodity trading is a multi-million dollar market, and blockchain plays a key role here. OpFi allows the tokenization of the real-world assets, so they are easily traded and transferred anywhere globally. 

Instant trade

The protocol allows the immediate exchange of assets without any counterparty risks or price slippage. The user is allowed to trade directly with the smart contract of the asset. 

Low-cost loans

The OpFi protocol allows users to collateralize loans at a low-interest rate of 2 to 5%. The users get encouraged to hedge their bets. 

Universal chain support

Since it is open, the protocol will allow the sharing of assets between the different chains, and the users get the best of both the worlds. They get access to more assets and can transact at a low fee. 

Earn the yield on real-world assets

The majority of real-world assets like Gold and Silver do not earn a person any interest or revenue just by holding them. However, Open Finance will change all that. One can stake his assets as collateral and earn the yield from it.

OKEx has recently launched support for the trading of perpetual swaps. OKEx is an intuitive UI that lets professionals trade tokens with fiat currencies easily.

It also offers Spot or Margin Trading for up to 100 tokens such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, etc. It also supports leverage options like Futures Trading arbitrage and convenient risk hedging, Stabilizing income, etc. It also has support for fully integrated OK Blockchain Capital services for the stalwarts of blockchain and their teams or projects.

The official website announces the news as:

Dear valued customers,

We are pleased to announce that NEOUSD & NEOUSDT Perpetual Swap trading is officially live on the OKEx website and API from 07:00 Mar 5, 2020 (UTC).

The OKEx Perpetual Swap is a well known virtual derivative commodity that is operated in digital tokens like Bitcoins or BTC. Every swap contract is worth a 100 USD Face Value. Traders can attain a stance to benefit from the growth in the price of a digital asset, or find a position that helps it gain through the decline of the price of digital assets. The accessible limit of the Leverage ranges around 1-100x.

It has quite a few similarities to the futures contract of OKEx, and it also has some differences. OKEx Perpetual Swap differences:

Delivery: Perpetual Swap doesn’t have a delivery date or expiration date.

Funding: Since there are no deadlines for the delivery, mechanism of funding is employed to make sure that the price of Perpetual Swap is consolidated with the spot market;

Mark Price: The marked price is employed to find out the Unrealized Profits and Losses (UPL) of the users in an effort to minimize the unwanted liquidation under the volatile conditions of the market.

Daily Settlement: Everyday settlement process moved Unrealized PnL to Realized PnL, growing the capital utilization flexibility.

Tiered Maintenance Margin Ratio System:

Maintenance Margin Ratio (MMR) is the minimum margin ratio required to fix the current position of a user. When the Margin Ratio and fee rate for Forced-Liquidation goes below the MMR, enforced liquidation happens.

Forced Partial Liquidation:

While the margin ratio and the rate of Forced-Liquidation Fee is less than the margin ratio maintenance of the tier, the system will attempt to bring the users with bigger positions and 3 or higher tier below to a minimum MMR tier by liquidating the position of user, till the Margin Ratio, as well as the rate of Forced-Liquidation Fee, aligns with the requirements for MMR of the level.
