Notifi Network is thrilled to announce our integration with Orca, Solana’s leading Automated Marker Maker(AMM)!

With Notifi, Orca users who own an Orcanaut NFT can receive an email, SMS, or Telegram notifications when their Whirlpools (concentrated liquidity) positions go out of range. Orcanaut-holders will also receive beta access to xMS, our new community cross-chain messaging solution!

“Whirlpools Range Alerts empower the Orcanautical Community to easily manage their Whirlpools positions — and spend less time staring at charts!” — Yihwan Kim, Head of Product at OrcaOrca & Notifi Overview

Orca has integrated Notifi’s multi-channel alerts to further empower its users, alerting them in real-time when market conditions change. By sharing real-time signals about liquidity pool positions and enabling the ability to get updates on your mobile device instead of just on your computer, the Orca/Notifi integration adds a layer of transparency and provides users peace of mind. The Orca/Notifi integration lowers barriers to entry for brand new web3 users by creating a single source for notifications about real-time market changes. With the integration, solely searching for crypto tips and tricks on social media is a thing of the past!

Whirlpools Range Alerts

On Whirlpools, liquidity is “concentrated” in the sense that users provide liquidity within a specific price range. If the price moves outside of that range, users no longer earn yield on their positions. In order to maximize yield, liquidity providers often track price movements manually, rebalancing their positions in response to constant price fluctuations.

With Whirlpools Range Alerts, Orcanaut holders receive an automated email, SMS, or Telegram notifications when price fluctuations push their Whirlpool positions out of range. Users no longer have to constantly monitor price changes and can focus on improving their strategies and maximizing yield.

What is Orca?

Orca is the dominant concentrated liquidity AMM on Solana, allowing users to trade Solana tokens or earn trading fees and token rewards by providing liquidity into “Whirlpools”. Orca’s mission is to deliver DeFi for people, not programs.

By combining cutting-edge engineering with an intuitive user experience, Orca provides a professional but playful platform for new and veteran DeFi users alike. Orca users can trade Solana tokens or provide concentrated liquidity to different to earn trading fees and token rewards.

As one of the first user-friendly crypto exchanges on Solana, Orca empowers builders to leverage its Whirlpool SDK to make waves in the web3 ecosystem. With exciting, premium web3 projects and a consistent track record, Orca is the go-to toolkit for web3 builders as it adds the human element back into crypto.

What makes Orca different?

In the summer of 2020, the Solana ecosystem exploded with new projects and funding sources as if we were amid a modern-day gold rush. Despite this exciting level of activity, there remained a glaring problem. Most competitive DeFi projects embraced Technical Centered Design, which presented information in a confusing and counterintuitive way that made it difficult for users to understand how to interact and transact on their platforms. This made the crypto experience clunky and not user-friendly. Orca’s founders observed the broken user experience and built their solution using Human-Centered Design, a tech approach that builds with the end user in mind.

Orca’s mission is to deliver DeFi for people, not programs, and our new partnership with Notifi is an exciting next step in that endeavor. By being able to uncuff Orca users from the confines of their computers and enable them to receive personalized, real-time updates on their mobile devices, we are further empowering new and experienced users to explore the Solana ecosystem. Additionally, with the integration of the Open Chat Alliance’s innovative xMS product into Orca, we are building on Orca’s reputation as the go-to toolkit for innovative web3 builders.

Orca is a platform created a platform that acts as a lighthouse in a sea of DeFi tooling, token trades, and concentrated liquidity pools. Their smart contract is built upon open-source technology, is double-audited, has a developer bug bounty program, and has zero hacks to date. Orca’s ecosystem spans all of web3 from DeFi Traders and Yield Farmers to web3 developers.

What does the Notifi Integration mean for Orca and the Orcanaut community?

  • Provide position alerts for Whirlpool, Orca’s Concentrated Liquidity Pool

“Orca has been a perfect partner in thinking through how notifications can bring meaningful value to their community. Their notifications make it even easier to use Whirlpools, one of the most innovative DeFi products in the Solana ecosystem. We are thrilled to partner with Orca on notifications and give their Orcanaut community early access to xMS through the Open Chat Alliance. Stay tuned for more!” Alex Horn, Head of Product at Notifi
