Hi the feature was just released and some changes may happen in future, but here's the concept of it:
1. User wants to buy from other users without price impact
2. Existing BUY/SELL limit orders are present on the order book

So the user can directly sell/buy from the limit orders. This excludes all AMM/LP orders so it's purely P2P. And since it does not cause a price impact it is OTC.

Yes it's different from how other exchanges are doing this, since we intend to hold 'unfulfilled' orders in the order book along with regular orders, and then it can be fulfilled either by a Limit order, or Market order, or an OTC order.

So, to understand it better: If I want to buy, let's say BNB, I can do it either through the usual way (by putting an order in the order book) or by putting an OTC order at the price I like/want and wait as I would wait if I make a Limit order. The difference is that my order won't affect the order book and the actual market price of the coin. Correct?
As for the "unfulfilled" orders, what do you mean? There are all orders at different prices (Limit), and all the exchangers keep them. Some, however, charge a fee so the traders can't keep them open until the end of time. So, basically, all the orders that are different from the Market price can be called "unfulfilled" unless the Market price "hits" them, and then they become "fulfilled".

Your order will show up in the order book; but will not impact the LTP (since OTC is not recorded in the Trades data). So if it's far from LTP it would show as a spike/dip that recovers in seconds.

Unfilfilled orders = New limit orders, or Partially fulfilled limit orders. Yes your understanding is correct

Let me add one more example for BNB
- Suppose you want to buy BNB, urgently and don't mind paying a little extra. (Also assume it is low liquidity since our usecase for this is actually Low Liquidity coins)
- Current price is 760.63 and you don't mind paying upto $800 (suppose)
- You could do a Market Order, but in that case fulfillment is not guaranteed and orders between 760 and 800 and even above 800 will also match with your order (based on how many coins and your slippage range)
- OR you could use the OTC feature to match *exactly* the sell order at $800 and get your order fulfilled at the fixed rate (Assuming the seller's order has enough capacity)

So in this way, you can basically look up the existing order book limit orders and match them for out-of-turn instant fulfillment.
