The ORCA platform is the first of its kind to globally integrate both banking and cryptocurrency accounts, as well as spearhead the growth of the crypto economy.

Tomochain’s infrastructure has few-second transaction confirmation times with minimal fees allowing ORCA to benefit from its high throughput system.

It, therefore, provides access to both ecosystems. The users will be able to enjoy the efficiencies of fast and reliable performance manifested through sending and receiving financial information through the network’s internal gateways.

Using Tomochain’s virtually feeless infrastructure we will be able to avoid the problem of paying a fee for a fee. It’s a natural synergy and we’re very excited about this deal.” — noted Natan Avidan, co-founder, and CEO of ORCA Alliance.

ORCA Alliance has attracted investments from various funds such as Amplifi Capital, AlphaChain and Connect Capital in their private sale rounds.

The public sale is slated to begin on 6th of August, 9:00 GMT. To celebrate the partnership ORCA is going to be accepting TOMO tokens during their token sale offering an extra 5% bonus as an incentive for contributions made in TOMO.

To further solidify the partnership between both projects, Long Vuong, CEO of Tomochain, will join ORCA Alliance for an advisory role.

Long Vuong shared: “I think ORCA Alliance is one of the best crypto project out of Europe in recent months. The beta product is really promising, and users can easily transfer money from crypto to bank account/ debit to fund purchases in just seconds. Integration with Tomochain will make the conversion speed even faster and an overall experience seamless. I am very excited to work with Natan, CEO of Orca Alliance, and his talented team, to open a new area of personal finance to millions of users worldwide”.

Long’s addition to the ORCA advisory team allows Tomochain to better assist them in various aspects of platform deployment. At the same time, we are thrilled at the prospects which ORCA Alliance brings and look forward to playing a part in shaping the future of the financial landscape.
