At the ZIGChain Summit in Dubai, Varun Choudhary and Katerina Vdovichenko announced ORO, a natural language execution layer for onchain finance.
In its most basic sense, ORO lets users describe a financial goal or intent in plain text such that the AI reads the intent, picks the best route, estimates gas, abstracts everything, and executes the transaction without the user touching a bridge or calculating slippage manually. Varun, who ran the live demo, described it as a “non-custodial AI mentor,” adding:
“You don’t bridge, you don’t calculate gas. You just tell ORO your intent, and the orchestration happens onchain.”

Katerina addressed a real problem in finance: the market is currently too “loud”. Participating in the right investment opportunities currently requires deep prior knowledge of which assets to invest in, which rails to use, and dealing with endless jargon.
Katerina highlighted the massive scale of the upcoming digital economy, noting that $30 Trillion in assets will be tokenized by 2034. However, the current ecosystem is too intimidating and complex for regular users to access. The mission of ORO is to simplify this complexity for retail users from an allocator perspective.
What is ORO?
Varun introduced ORO as a “trusted AI mentor” for the new digital economy.
He emphasized that the biggest barrier to entry isn’t a lack of interest, but a lack of simplicity. With ORO, users simply speak their mind and tell the AI exactly what they want to achieve, without needing to learn complex crypto language.
The team showcased a live intent: “Say if I have 5000 $ in savings, and I want to put it into a diversified Private Credit fund”.
Instead of making the user figure out the “how” or the technicalities, ORO searches for the best opportunities, finds the best route, and orchestrates everything. The user focuses on the goal and stays in full control while ORO handles the journey and waits for a final signature.
Varun emphasized that billions of dollars are currently sitting idle in banks and networks because people lack a simple, secure way to get started.
To prove ORO is a reality and not just a theory, Varun shared that the underlying rails are already battle-tested. In just the last five months, the system has processed over $500 Million in volume and supported more than 70,000 users worldwide, proving it can handle institutional scale.
Conclusion
Katerina concluded by stating that finance is inevitably coming onchain, and ORO is poised to be the main interface layer on top of it.
She announced that the product is officially live and invited the crowd to try it here.
Finally, she announced to the summit attendees and the thousands watching the Cointelegraph live stream that they are officially raising their seed round and actively looking for strategic partners.
