Orion Money (ORION) is a cryptocurrency savings platform in the DeFi ecosystem where users can maximize profitability of their stablecoins. Established in Q1-Q2 2021, Orion Money aims to become a full-fledged cross-chain stablecoin bank and DeFi product hub, helping users grow their assets by providing a seamless experience of accumulating, lending and spending stablecoins.

How does Orion Money work? Users deposit stablecoins to generate a fixed income that is higher than what market competitors are offering. And ORION, the native Orion Money token, guarantees users a chance to boost stablecoin APY, receive revenue rewards, and contribute to the ecosystem by participating in governance. Orion Money APYs are possible due to the savings protocol -- Anchor -- which is built on the Terra blockchain and generates low volatility of stablecoin returns.

The Orion Money ecosystem consists of three main products: Orion Saver, Orion Yield & Insurance, and Orion Pay.
