Orderly 1.0 Architecture
The asset manager contract is the main Smart Contract of Orderly network which acts as a custodial account to provide the best user experience possible for an on-chain exchange with it's low fees, fast trade execution, and deep liquidity.The contract stores the following information:
- NEAR Account ↔︎ Orderly / Trading Key mappings
- Balance of each account in Orderly
- Whitelist of permitted assets for the contract
- Whitelist of permitted trading pairs
The contract has the following usages:
- Allows users to create an account - i.e. bind their NEAR account_id with specific Orderly trading keys
- Allows users to deposit whitelisted assets to their Orderly account
- Allow users to withdraw their assets from their Orderly account
- Settles executed trades by updating balances of all users on-chain after receiving trade executions
Currently, the Matching Engine (Orderbook) is off-chain and the smart contract is used as a settlement layer, to offer market-leading trade execution with low latency and minimal fees.The Off-Chain Engine has the following functionalities:
- Order service
- Matching engine
- Trade upload management (uploads executed trades back up to the smart contract)
- Deposit/Withdrawal management
In order to register an account and connect a wallet, a user needs two key pairs: Orderly Key Pair (
ed25519), also known as Access Key, and Trading Key Pair (secp256k1). Orderly Access Key Pair is generated by the wallet and more information can be found here. Trading keys can be generated by the front-end using this library. Please refer to Authentication for more information on Authentication via WebSocket and RESTful APIs.NEAR Protocol has a storage staking mechanism when the data is stored on-chain (more info can be found here). Orderly requires the users to stake a small amount of NEAR upon creating a new user account, adding new trading key pairs, and new token balances to prevent Sybil attacks and minimize the number of payable transactions
