what's Orb Markets?
Orb Markets is a Solana blockchain platform developed by Helius, functioning as a real-time block explorer alongside a discovery and trading interface for high-quality assets on the network. It enables users to explore transactions, monitor accounts, inspect programs, research tokens, and directly interact with tradeable markets in a seamless manner, akin to traditional market data sites but optimized for on-chain Solana assets with trading capabilities.
