Company profile
Oro
ORO is a privately held, venture-backed financial technology company founded in 2024 and based in the United Arab Emirates. The company operates an AI-native, non-custodial interface for onchain finance under the ORO brand, accessible through askoro.ai. ORO originated from the Zignaly and ZIGChain ecosystem, with its initial product, OroSwap, developed by members of the Zignaly community as an AI-powered decentralised exchange on ZIGChain; the company has since expanded into a multichain financial AI platform spanning Ethereum, Solana and ZIGChain. Its platform enables users to use natural-language instructions to discover, analyse and execute onchain activities including token swaps, staking, deposits, lending, borrowing and cross-chain bridging, while retaining control of their wallets and approving transactions before execution. ORO's technology includes the Shield Engine, a four-layer transaction-protection system covering pre-flight validation, intent analysis, transaction simulation and post-execution monitoring, as well as dynamic effort routing technology that adjusts AI processing according to the complexity of a user's request. Separately, ORO's Smart Routing system identifies transaction routes across connected protocols based on factors including execution price, fees and speed. OroSwap also supports Inter-Blockchain Communication-compatible assets through its ZIGChain implementation. ORO serves users across APAC, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa, and North America, giving the company a global user and market footprint.
