Orbs operates as a Layer-3 (L3) blockchain, enhancing the capabilities of Ethereum and other L1/L2 chains to execute complex logic and processes in a decentralized manner. It is particularly optimized for on-chain trading, offering liquidity aggregation, limit and TWAP orders, and on-chain derivatives.

Team and Founders

Orbs was founded in 2017 by Daniel Peled, Tal Kol, and Uriel Peled, with Netta Korin also part of the founding team. Daniel Peled serves as the President and Co-Founder of Orbs.

The network is additionally operated by independent validators (Guardians). The team operates in Tel Aviv, London, New York, Tokyo, and Seoul.

Investors and Key Partners

Since its inception, Orbs has attracted major investors and formed strategic partnerships. DWF Labs, Outlier Ventures, Kakao Ventures, Nexus One, and Next Chymia actively support the project, which raised significant capital during its ICO and subsequent funding rounds.

Orbs has integrated with DEX platforms such as QuickSwap, SpookySwap, THENA, SpiritSwap, Pangolin, Chronos, BaseSwap, and Arbidex. It collaborates on liquidity and derivatives with ParaSwap, IVX, Horizon Protocol, SYMMIO, and Fenix Finance. The team also works with corporate and ecosystem partners like Harmony Protocol, IntentX, TON ecosystem, CBAN, GBBC, WEF, World Bank, and YES24. Listings on exchanges such as FTX and KuCoin further expand Orbs’ reach and adoption.

Project Idea

Orbs aims to bring CeFi-level transaction capacity and advanced order types into the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. By eliminating dependence on centralized backends, Orbs provides scalable, secure, and efficient infrastructure for dApps.

How the Project Works

• Consensus: Validator committees are randomly selected using the Randomized Proof-of-Stake (RPoS) algorithm.

• PoS Model: Validators, Guardians, and Delegators stake tokens to secure the network.

• Hybrid Architecture: The Ethereum network is used as an external verification source. PoS votes and governance run via Ethereum smart contracts.

• Fee and Service Model: ORBS tokens are used to pay validators for application execution, smart contract operations, and storage services.

Orbs infrastructure supports four main protocols:

• Time-Based Orders: Executes automated, time-specific orders on DEXs.

• Limit Orders: Executes pre-set orders based on target prices on-chain.

• Decentralized Optimization (Liquidity Hub): Provides DEXs access to external liquidity sources for CeFi-level pricing.

• Perpetual Hub: Offers full services for on-chain perpetual trading, including hedge, liquidator, and oracle functionalities.

Governance

ORBS token holders can participate in validator selection and protocol decisions. Community-proposed changes are discussed and voted on through the Orbs Improvement Proposals (OIP) mechanism.

Roadmap

The current roadmap includes:

• Transition to DAO-based governance

• Development of Layer-3 protocols (Perpetual Hub, dLIMIT, dTWAP)

• Expansion of backend solutions for decentralized applications

ORBSToken Use Cases

• Payment: For commissions to validators and guardians

• Staking & Delegation: Token holders can stake and participate in governance

• Governance: Voting in OIPs

• Incentives/Rewards: Validator rewards and network security

Token Information

• Total Supply: 10 billion ORBS

• Max Supply: Not defined

• Circulating Supply: 4.25 billion ORBS

Token Distribution

• 55% → Long-term reserves (staking and ecosystem)

• 20% → Private sales

• 20% → Team and founders

• 5% → Advisors

Ecosystem

The Orbs ecosystem is built on a validator network and decentralized serverless cloud infrastructure. Developers can scale their applications using the L3 infrastructure and integrate seamlessly with Ethereum, Polygon, and other chains. Grant programs allow new projects to join the ecosystem.

Features

• Complements Ethereum and other L1/L2 chains with Layer-3 architecture

• RPoS consensus ensures secure and decentralized validation

• Hybrid security: verification via Ethereum

• Flexible fee system and payments with ORBS
