News linked to both this project and an event.
According to the official announcement, HTX (formerly Huobi) has launched perpetual contracts for ORCA/USDT and ZBT/USDT on April 27, with a maximum leverage of 20x for both. Concurrently, HTX is hosting an ORCA & ZBT Contract Trading Party from 17:00 on April 27 to 17:00 on May 4 (UTC+8), with a total prize pool of up to $20,000. During the event, users who register and trade ORCA/USDT and ZBT/USDT perpetual contracts—accumulating a total valid trading volume of ≥$5,000—will share the prize pool based on their trading volume ranking. Additionally, new contract traders executing ORCA/USDT or ZBT/USDT perpetual trades will receive exclusive benefits.
According to an official announcement by Orca, Vercel—the frontend hosting provider for Solana’s liquidity protocol Orca—recently experienced a security incident involving unauthorized access to its internal systems. Orca stated that, as a precautionary security measure, it has proactively rotated all keys and deployment credentials potentially compromised in the incident. Orca emphasized that this incident affected only the frontend hosting layer; the on-chain protocol and user funds remain unaffected. The team is currently monitoring the situation closely and will provide timely updates.
