Ondo Finance has launched the Ondo Network, a blockchain network structured to back open financial markets. The company integrates execution, verification, and settlement features to manage trading and tokenized financial assets.
Ondo Network Structure
The Ondo Network is structured based on its three core components:
First, it delivers private, high-speed execution using trusted hardware, such as Intel and SGX chips. This structure allows order matching, margin calculations, and liquidations to arise chain at speeds against centralized exchanges (CExs), while sensitive trading data maintain security once transactions are settled.
Second, the network performs independent verifiers that monitor settlements and validate approved code and system logic. This additional layer is structured to improve transparency and security within the network.
Third, public blockchain manages asset transfer and settlement. As an outcome, users have control of their assets because collateral and trading positions are key drivers for settled on chain.
Ondo’s First Network Launched
The Ondo Network was introduced to back Ondo Perps, a perpetual future trading network launced on July 2026. The network allows non-US traders to increase exposure to equities, ETFs, and commodities using perpetual contracts.
Also, Ondo Perps backs tokenized stocks and stablecoins as collateral, such as assets supported by companies such as AAPL, NVDA, TSLA, QQQ, and gold. The network offers up to 20x leverage, 24/7 market access, and competitive spreads.
According to Ian De Bode, President of Ondo Finance, noted that Ondo Network is the first permissionless equity perps network developed to back real financial contracts while offering institutional-grade liquidity and speed.
Also, Ondo network underscored that the network extends its perpetual futures trading. Its network is also structured to back spot market, lending protocols, and structured financial products within a settlement network.
Ondo’s Network Transition
Ondo first introduced Ondo Chain in February 2025 in New York. This network was structured as a permissioned proof-of-stake Layer 1 blockchain concentrated on institutional real-world assets.
Despite operating two separate networks such as Ondo Chain and Ondo Network, Ondo transform its mechanism by splitting execution, verification, and settlement. The company noted that the network structure backs its strategy, transparency, and efficiency while developing its long-term strategy for open financial markets.
Impact on Onchain Markets
Ondo is one of the largest issuers of tokenized RWA issuers in the crypto market through products such as USDY and OUSG. The company has surpassed $1 billion in total value locked, citing increasing demand for tokenized financial products.
Through Ondo Global Marekts, Ondo offers access to over 100 tokenized US equities. By adopting RWA with perpetual futures trading institutional-grade liquidity, Ondo plans to increase the use of blockchain technology within traditional financial markets.
At present, Ondo initiative to launch additional blockchain features, such as proof-of-stake security, improved on-chain settlement, and developed cryptographic verification. Ondo continues to establish this network to reinforce transparency, decentralization, and the adoption of open financial market principles.
