Securing DeFi Execution: Venn Network and Orbs Join Forces

Securing DeFi Execution: Venn Network and Orbs Join Forces

Orbs has integrated Venn Network into the execution flow of dLIMIT and dTWAP protocols. Now, every advanced Orbs-powered trade is screened in real-time by Venn.

This upgrade instantly benefits major DEXs already using Orbs - including PancakeSwap, SushiSwap, QuickSwap, SpookySwap, Thena, and ArbiDex - covering over one million daily transactions. For these platforms, Venn adds a CeFi-grade security layer that can be proudly offered to their users.

Crypto Crime Hits New Highs in 2025

2025 Theft Volume Surges: Over $2.17B stolen in just six months, surpassing all of 2024. Nearly 70% came from a single exploit (ByBit), with Safe wallets and direct attacks on individuals making up a growing share.

‍

According to Chainalysis, in the first half of 2025 alone, over $2.17B was stolen from the crypto ecosystem - already surpassing all of 2024. The ByBit exploit, attributed to North Korea, made up nearly 70% of those losses. Direct wallet thefts, including “wrench attacks”, now account for 23% of total stolen value.

‍

The threat is no longer limited to high-value protocols — Safe wallets are increasingly targeted. Platforms and asset custodians alike need one thing: assurance that malicious transactions are stopped before they ever reach the chain. That’s exactly the gap Venn fills.

Orbs is Bringing CeFi-Level Precision to DeFi Trades

Orbs is a decentralized Layer-3 (L3) blockchain infrastructure focused on enhancing on-chain trading. It provides advanced trading functionality for decentralized exchanges (DEXs), delivering features traditionally found in centralized finance (CeFi) venues. Notably, Orbs has developed protocols like dLIMIT and dTWAP, which enable limit orders and time-weighted average price (TWAP) orders directly on DEX platforms. These sophisticated order types – previously unavailable in DeFi – allow traders to set specific execution prices or gradually execute large orders over time, all while staying fully on-chain.

‍

Over the past years, Orbs has partnered with numerous prominent DEXs to bring these capabilities to users. For example, PancakeSwap (BSC's leading DEX) integrated Orbs’ dLIMIT and dTWAP, following similar integrations on QuickSwap (Polygon), SpookySwap (Sonic), Thena (BSC), ArbiDex (Arbitrum), SushiSwap, and others. Through Orbs’ L3 technology, traders on these platforms can now trade like professionals – setting limit orders to buy/sell at desired prices, or using TWAP strategies to minimize price impact by breaking big trades into smaller chunks over time. All of this is achieved without moving liquidity to a new chain; Orbs acts as a decentralized backend that augments existing smart contracts, truly bringing CeFi-level trading execution and user experience to DeFi.

‍

However, with greater functionality comes a new challenge: ensuring these advanced trades execute fairly and securely in the wild west of DeFi. This is where the Venn Network comes into play, adding a layer of security to Orbs’ trading infrastructure.

‍

Venn Network is the Gatekeeper of Blockchain Transactions

Venn is an on-chain firewall that screens transactions before execution. Powered by a distributed network of security operators, it identifies and blocks suspicious activity in real time - from exploits and abnormal parameters to any deviation from expected behavior.

‍

When integrated with a protocol or Safe wallet, transactions are routed through Venn’s validator network for pre-execution review. Legitimate transactions pass seamlessly; malicious ones are stopped cold. This preventive layer removes threats before they touch the blockchain.

‍

What It Means for DeFi

This collaboration merges powerful execution with proactive defense. Venn ensures that Orbs’ infrastructure enables smarter trades, safer. DEXs and users now have advanced trading functionality with built-in, decentralized security.

Together, Orbs and Venn are delivering on the true promise of DeFi: open, powerful, and, now, safer than ever.

Why It Matters Now

As threats evolve, prevention is no longer optional. Venn is already securing leading DeFi protocols and Safe wallets in real time. Whether protecting millions in protocol liquidity or safeguarding multisig-held assets, Venn ensures malicious transactions never become the next headline.
