Onomy Protocol recently announced a bridge to Polygon, expanding its list of cross-chain deployments.
Onomy’s application-specific layer 1 blockchain, which is built with Cosmos Tendermint, powers a hybrid DEX and Forex market, a stablecoin minting system and a non-custodial wallet.
The first DeFi DEX that combines AMM liquidity pools with an order book UI
The integration will unlock Forex trading, payments, settlement, lending and yield opportunities using Onomy stablecoins for Polygon users.
@OnomyProtocol will make the bridge to @0xPolygon!
The integration will see the rollout of the first-ever DEX using LP AMMs and an order book for cross-chain market, limit and stop orders, as well as Onomy’s Forex market.
Stay tuned for more! 👀https://t.co/BKepZ8mREO

Onomy’s hybrid DEX, dubbed ONEX, combines pools of Automated Market Maker (AMM) liquidity with an order book user interface (UI), allowing traders to place market, limit, stop and conditionals.
Meanwhile, Polygon’s full-stack Ethereum scaling solution will enable more efficient trading, bolstering the utility of Onomy’s stablecoins, called “Denoms,” within its budding dapp ecosystem.
While Onomy’s Cosmos-based blockchain, dubbed “ONET”, is poised for high throughput and efficiency, custom two-way bridges to other major chains, including Polygon, leverage frictionless cross-chain exchanges .
On a mission to enter the Forex market
Issued by Onomy Reserves dubbed “ORES,” Denoms are the protocol’s solution to connecting Forex to DeFi.
Users can mint the Denoms of the fiat currencies they need to execute their transactions by locking the NOM protocol utility token, as an over-collateral.
Their use, however, is not limited to Forex trading. As Onomy expands into other ecosystems, Denoms has the potential to unlock yield opportunities through DeFi.
Meanwhile, the NOM protocol utility token plays a key role in the Onomy ecosystem and unlocks governance rights within the Onomy DAO.
Onomy recently announced another cross-chain bridge between the Onomy protocol mainnet and the NEAR protocol, leveraging the capabilities of Aurora’s Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
📢 We are delighted to partner with @NEARProtocol & @AuroraIsNear!
Our alliance will see a multi-chain launch of the Onomy DEX with AMM LPs and an order book for market, limit and stop orders alongside our Forex marketplace.
Stay tuned for more! 👀https://t.co/1H1MDfP7F2
