Announcing Orbit Bridge Version 3.0
Hello, Orbit Chain community!
Fast and Secure way for token conversion! We will notify you of Orbit Bridge updates.
Please check the details below for detailed updates.
■ Details of the update
- Front-end Structure & UI/UX Improvements
- Add Dark Mode (Light/Dark mode toggle switcher)
- New Wallet Support: BitKeep
1. Front-end Structure & UI/UX Improvements
- Common processing for EVM-based blockchains enables rapid response when integrating new blockchains
- Sophisticated error handling (bridge app component level) to solve existing problems such as unnecessary screen refresh
- Responsive UI implementation based on flexibility and continuity (for all sizes of desktop, smartphone, tablet, etc.)
- Added automatic recipient address input function *Default recipient address: wallet address connected to Orbit Bridge
- PC Web: After the wallet connection, wallet information is shown on the right side of the text FROM
- Mobile Web: After the wallet connection, wallet information is shown at the bottom of the screen
- Improved visibility of inactive buttons such as “Connect Wallet” and “ CONVERT NOW”
- $ORC > “BUY ORC” box changed to rolling banner form (added multiple ORC-supported exchanges)
- Improved non-EVM network bridge controller screen (Ripple, TON (TBD), Stacks (TBD))
UI/UX design and improvement of Orbit Bridge continuously improved over the past two years. Its beginnings date back to October 2020, when the Orbit Bridge was launched. At that time, we thought about which button the user would click first and reached the conclusion that asset (token) selection should be the top priority.
“Can I send my USDT from the Ethereum network to the Klaytn network?”
“What tokens will Orbit Bridge support? Is MATIC or WBTC possible?”
The purpose of the Orbit Bridge user was as clear as the premise above. As such, we regularly added or improved content (features, guides, dashboards, $ORC, etc.) essential for using the bridge in the controller (main screen) and sometimes removed unnecessary elements.
This update was also an extension of those efforts. We updated user-oriented UI/UX, such as usability classification between EVM and non-EVM-based blockchains, automatic input of recipient addresses, connected wallet information, various error handling, and responsive UI expansion. In the future, Orbit Bridge will evolve to embrace more blockchains, tokens, and users.
2. Add Dark Mode
- PC Web: Main Page > Click the crescent moon icon in the upper right corner
- Mobile Web: Main Page > Touch the drawer > Touch the crescent icon at the top right
Do you want to reduce eye strain? Do you want to see the screen more clearly?
Orbit Bridge now supports Dark Mode. When you click/touch the crescent-shaped icon at the top right of the main screen, the Orbit Bridge screen changes to dark mode. Try this mode to minimize glare in dark surroundings.
3. New Wallet Support: BitKeep
Orbit Bridge supports BitKeep wallet. This integration is in line with the Orbit Chain team’s philosophy of pursuing a service that can be conveniently accessed by all users participating in the crypto market.
BitKeep is a cryptocurrency digital wallet that supports various mainnets and protocols like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. They have more than 6 million subscribers in 168 countries around the world. They were forming a community strong enough to be selected as the most loved decentralized wallet in 2020. They recently released decentralized Crypto Red Packets that allow users to share crypto assets across multiple mainnets, including BNB, Polygon, AVAX-C, and more, as well as raised a $15 million Series A round investment, increasing their global influence.
The Orbit Chain team intends to expand the usability of the Orbit Bridge and secure new users through this BitKeep integration.

The Orbit Chain team previously defined Orbit Chain as the liquidity hub of a decentralized ecosystem and the Orbit Bridge as the liquidity framework required for various blockchain layers and the backbone of the blockchain. Accordingly, we are picking up to advance and expand by upholding the Orbit Chain’s slogan of Connecting the Unconnected. Aside from that, we are raising the security barrier of Orbit Bridge even higher through regular security audits and the application of a gatekeeper.
Today, the blockchain ecosystem not only continues to fragment but also accelerates the multi-chain universe as numerous blockchains acquire cultural diversity.
The Orbit Chain team searched for a blockchain that best suited the keywords of “Fragmentation” and “Multi-chain Universe”. We selected the non-EVM-based blockchains, both TON and Stacks after continuous research and communication with several projects. Stacks is the first layer 1 blockchain using Bitcoin, and TON is the first layer 1 blockchain project designed by Telegram, a global messenger service. Stacks has improved the scalability limit of Bitcoin by introducing microblocks and has proven its originality and differentiation in that it has already secured over 400 dApps like Alex and Arkadiko Finance. However, since these are not compatible with the EVM union based on Ethereum, improvements in openness and interoperability are required. The Orbit Chain team has proposed Orbit Bridge as a prescription for it and is about to release the TON and Stacks Bridge with new validators added.
The Orbit Chain team intends to guide the Orbit Bridge and integrated protocols to the multi-chain universe as ways to solve the ecosystem fragmentation problem faced by Stacks and TON and to secure abundant liquidity of Ethereum-based assets. We regard the multi-chain universe as our future, in which numerous blockchains are connected like a spider’s web, each forming its ecosystem. Orbit Bridge will be the most optimized spaceship for multi-chain exchanges and an irreplaceable cross-chain.
We will share details regarding the new blockchain connection and advancement in medium postings and community announcements as soon as the schedule is confirmed.
Connecting the unconnected is the vision of the Orbit Chain team and a shortcut to boosting the value of ORC and developing the Orbit Chain ecosystem. We hope that you look forward to the future of Orbit Chain, which will create innovations that have never existed in the world. We ask for your unwavering interest and continuous support.
