Orca and Loopscale merge into Formation to fund AI, robotics, and defense projects via blockchain.

Orca and Loopscale, two protocols from the Solana DeFi ecosystem, have merged to form a new entity called Formation. This new venture aims to finance real-world sectors like AI, energy, robotics, and defense, moving beyond typical crypto trading features. Loopscale brings its fixed-rate lending model with an order-book system, allowing more precise borrowing and lending terms. The merger introduces new risks such as regulatory scrutiny and credit risk from real-world projects, especially in defense, which will require careful governance and borrower vetting going forward.
