Orb, a new Solana Block Explorer by Helius, aims to simplify Solana data and make it easier to navigate. Orb uses AI to simplify complicated transactions, making it easier to understand blockchain activity. The Solana Block Explorer not only displays the numbers and addresses but also provides explanations for them.
What is Orb?
Orb is a block explorer built on Helius, one of the best developer platforms on the Solana blockchain. It is in its early stages, and Orb aims to provide users and creators with a better understanding of the Solana blockchain. It is not any other explorer. Orb adds a new layer of intelligence with its AI-driven explanations and a time machine that allows users to look back in history.

Why Orb Matters?
Orb isn’t just useful; it’s part of a bigger shift in blockchain transparency. Traditional explorers show raw data. Orb puts that information in perspective. This is what helps the customers, investors, and builders to understand the story behind each transaction. These tools will make Solana a more significant platform.
Conclusion
Orb, an AI-powered Solana Block Explorer, makes blockchain data readable, insightful, and fun to explore. As Helius continues to perfect Orb, it becomes evident that there is no easier or smarter way to learn about Solana.
