What is Orb?
Orb is a Solana block explorer built by Helius, one of the biggest Solana infrastructure companies. It covers wallets, tokens, NFTs, programs, validators and blocks, and adds AI-powered plain-language explanations of what a transaction or token actually does.
That makes it the friendliest explorer for traders who aren't developers. When a transaction looks strange, Orb tells you in words which tokens moved where. Note the domain: Orb started at orb.helius.dev and now lives at orbmarkets.io, which the old address redirects to.
Orb vs the rest

Is Orb official?
Yes. Orb is built by Helius. orb.helius.dev redirects to its current address, orbmarkets.io.
