SINGAPORE, Aug. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenOcean, a leading DEX aggregator known for enhancing crypto trading by integrating the 99% liquidity pools across 35+ blockchains, and providing the optimal swap prices, is excited to announce the expansion of its platform services to Rootstock, a fully-EVM compatible Bitcoin Layer 2 solution.

By incorporating Rootstock, OpenOcean will enable DeFi users to leverage the trust and security of the Bitcoin network while engaging in the familiar EVM 'smart contract' ecosystems traditionally available only on Ethereum and other Alt-L1's. This integration seeks to facilitate a seamless and efficient trading experience for users looking to capitalise on the strengths of both blockchain technologies.

OpenOcean's innovative aggregation algorithm optimises front+backend trading by sourcing liquidity from various Uniswap pool variants and order book exchanges. This approach ensures traders benefit from the best possible conditions, including lower transaction fees and enhanced protection against price slippage

"We are delighted to be one of the first DeFi powerhouses launching on Rootstock," said Guy.P, Head of Growth. "This expansion not only aligns with our mission to provide comprehensive, efficient, and user-friendly trading solutions across all of our supported blockchains but also empowers our users to utilise the trust of the Bitcoin network in a way that was not possible before. With Rootstock's EVM compatibility, we are eager to explore new possibilities and continue to innovate within the DeFi space."

OpenOcean's integration with Rootstock is already live, with full trading support for all major tokens and trading pairs available on the network. This development is highly anticipated to attract a wider audience, including those within the Bitcoin community seeking to explore EVM DeFi without straying too far from a familiar environment.
