This article is part of the Q&A series with Ran Yi, co-founder of Orderly Network.

Host (Karen Tang): Ran, thank you for joining us today. Could you please briefly introduce the value proposition and vision of Orderly Network to our audience?

Ran Yi (Co-founder of Orderly Network): I am very pleased to participate in this discussion. The vision of Orderly Network is to become the liquidity layer in the Web3 ecosystem. We are committed to supporting the trading of thousands of cross-chain assets, building a fully decentralized platform, and promoting the democratization of governance and revenue sharing. The core goal of Orderly is to address the issue of liquidity fragmentation in the DeFi market while providing users with a seamless trading experience similar to that of centralized exchanges.

Host: What key challenges is the DeFi space currently facing, and how is Orderly Network addressing these challenges?

Ran Yi: DeFi is currently facing significant challenges such as fragmented liquidity, high transaction costs, and a complex user experience. These issues hinder the widespread adoption of DeFi. Orderly Network significantly enhances the user experience by reducing the friction users face when switching between different blockchains through cross-chain liquidity sharing. In addition, we are committed to lowering transaction costs and providing efficient transaction speeds, making decentralized platforms comparable to centralized platforms in terms of user experience.

Host: What efforts has Orderly Network made to make DeFi more user-friendly and accessible to mainstream users?

Ran Yi: We have made significant innovations in technology, especially in user experience and interoperability between chains. Orderly aims to become the "CME" of Web3, allowing all decentralized applications to share liquidity and reduce the problem of liquidity fragmentation caused by insufficient interoperability between chains. Our goal is to provide users with a consistent trading experience across any chain, without worrying about liquidity or technical complexity.

Host: The competition between decentralized exchanges (DEX) and centralized exchanges (CEX) is becoming increasingly fierce. How does Orderly Network position itself in this competition?

Ran Yi: That's a good question. Some centralized exchanges hold a significant market share in terms of liquidity. However, we believe that decentralized and open ecosystems have stronger long-term viability. The advantage of Orderly lies in its decentralized liquidity aggregation model, which allows us to surpass existing centralized platforms in liquidity and user experience by gathering liquidity from various market participants. Our positioning is to become the infrastructure that supports the liquidity of any asset, ultimately surpassing centralized exchanges on all levels.

Host: Partnerships are crucial in the DeFi ecosystem. What strategies does Orderly Network have in this regard, and are there any particularly exciting collaborations to look forward to?

Ran Yi: That's right, collaboration is crucial for us. Orderly is not only an independent platform but also an open liquidity ecosystem that allows other decentralized platforms and applications to build and share resources on it. We highly value cooperation with other platforms, as this approach enables us to jointly promote the development of the DeFi ecosystem. For example, our collaboration with multiple decentralized platforms allows us to provide better liquidity support and user experience.

Host: What do you think is the biggest barrier to the true mainstream adoption of DeFi? How will Orderly Network help overcome these barriers?

Ran Yi: I believe that the biggest obstacles to mainstream adoption of DeFi are user experience and the regulatory environment. Although DeFi offers unique advantages such as decentralization and transparency, the complex user experience and uncertain regulatory environment remain major barriers to widespread adoption. Orderly Network addresses these challenges by lowering technical barriers and improving user experience, while we are also actively engaging in dialogue with regulatory agencies to ensure that our platform can meet future compliance requirements.

Host: Looking ahead, what are the key milestones and development plans for Orderly Network?

Ran Yi: Our future plans include further expanding inter-chain interoperability, supporting more blockchains, and launching new trading products such as spot and options trading. Our goal is to make Orderly the core platform supporting liquidity for any asset within the next 12 to 18 months. We believe that through continuous technological innovation and ecosystem development, Orderly Network will play a key role in driving DeFi toward mainstream applications.

Host: Finally, do you have any advice for those listeners who are not very familiar with DeFi or wish to get involved?

Ran Yi: For beginners, I recommend that you first understand the basic concepts of DeFi and risk management. At the same time, choosing a platform with a good user experience is very important, as it can reduce your resistance during the learning and usage process. Orderly Network is dedicated to providing an easy-to-use and powerful platform, making it a trustworthy choice for both novice and experienced traders.

Host: Thank you for Ran's wonderful sharing. Today's interview was very enriching. The future of DeFi is full of possibilities, and I look forward to more breakthroughs from Orderly Network in the future.
