Orion’s utilization of atomic swaps – a peer-to-peer, trustless mechanism for near instant token transfers – makes trading and bridging assets as secure as possible without relying on a third-party intermediary, meaning that the tokens are securely exchanged directly between two parties. Users are able to own and control their assets at all times until the trade is fully executed. With no token minting or wrapping required, Orion's safe-by-design foundation eliminates common problems which plague most asset bridges.
