The first Orbital Liquidity Network and largest Arbitrum DEX

Camelot is a decentralized and permissionless exchange that supports the Arbitrum ecosystem with highly efficient liquidity infrastructure. With $30bn volume traded and over 75 partners, Camelot is the leading Arbitrum exchange and a key hub for DeFi activity in the ecosystem. With its foundation firmly set on Arbitrum One, Camelot is expanding its liquidity infrastructure to chains building on the Arbitrum Orbit tech. Through this approach, Camelot creates a cohesive network of aligned rollups and acts as the glue for a diverse and expansive Arbitrum ecosystem.

Protocol Objectives

• Provide the Arbitrum ecosystem with battle-tested and highly efficient spot liquidity infrastructure

• Create a cohesive network of aligned Orbit chains, supporting Arbitrum in becoming the largest hub for Ethereum scaling

• Give users access to the widest range of onchain tokens with deep liquidity, powering highly sustainable yields for liquidity providers

• Onboard and support builders in the Arbitrum ecosystem, with Camelot acting as the central hub for protocols, traders, and the broader community

• Achieve a sustainable economic model that generates value and captures it to the GRAIL token, prioritising real yield

• Build a decentralized and permissionless protocol that puts the community first and is deeply aligned with the Arbitrum ecosystem

Initial Foundations

Starting in 2022 and entirely bootstrapped by the Arbitrum community, Camelot has become the largest native DEX by consistently onboarding new users and supporting projects big and small coming to Arbitrum.

Camelot is now the largest protocol exclusive to Arbitrum and has helped over 10 protocols launch, with close relationships to over 65 projects in the ecosystem.

With the expansion of Arbitrum Orbit chains, Camelot has become the first and only protocol to deploy on multiple Orbits. Camelot serves a critical role in providing its battle-tested liquidity infrastructure to these new rollups, now deployed on 8 Orbit chains.

Becoming the Orbital Liquidity Network

The Orbital Liquidity Network is Camelot's evolved vision. The Castle will connect and align Orbit chains, creating a unified Arbitrum ecosystem. Most importantly, its role extends beyond just the infrastructure, with Camelot now acting as the hub for these fragmented chains.

Instead of Orbit chains being isolated, Camelot will create network effects so that each chain is connected to the broader Arbitrum community. This will unlock significantly more value for everyone in the network, fueling higher volumes, liquidity, and overall user activity.

Becoming the Orbital Liquidity Network is a significant shift for Camelot and has required months of development to lay the initial foundations. This new vision has brought in a refreshed brand and roadmap to reflect the evolved direction of Camelot.

Network Vision

This Orbital Liquidity Network encompasses creating a cohesive and interconnected network of liquidity across multiple Orbit chains, enabling seamless cross-chain transactions, and supporting the broader Arbitrum ecosystem's growth.

Camelot aims to be the central hub where users can easily swap, bridge, and explore various Orbit chains, while continuing to generate sustainable real yields for its token holders.

Through this expansion, Camelot seeks to reduce fragmentation within the ecosystem, align and support builders across different chains, and solidify its role as a key infrastructure provider in the multi-chain future of Arbitrum. Value created by the Orbital Liquidity Network will be captured by GRAIL.
