❓Why Ostium?

Oro is built on top of Ostium Labs because the protocol requires execution infrastructure that is transparent, programmable, and capable of supporting leveraged exposure to real-world assets onchain.

Ostium Labs provides a decentralized trading framework on Arbitrum that enables exposure to commodities such as gold with verifiable pricing, position data, and settlement. All trades, margins, and outcomes are recorded onchain, allowing Oro to operate without reliance on opaque offchain brokers or discretionary intermediaries.

A key advantage of Ostium is its support for isolated margin and high-notional exposure with clearly defined risk parameters. This allows Oro to deploy disciplined leverage as part of a deterministic strategy while maintaining strict control over downside through predefined liquidation mechanics.

Ostium’s architecture is designed for automation. Its onchain contracts, Python SDK, and public metadata endpoints enable programmatic trade execution, continuous monitoring, and reliable state reconciliation. This makes it possible for Oro to operate as an autonomous system rather than a manually managed trading product.

By building on Ostium Labs, Oro inherits an execution environment that aligns with its core principles: transparency, auditability, and market-native performance. This foundation allows the protocol to focus on strategy design, capital routing, and token economics, while relying on battle-tested infrastructure for execution and settlement.
