Orbit Codes Documentation

Getting Started

Orbit Codes is a company whose mission is to provide the best tools for developers to build their projects on top of Cosmos technologies and chains.

What are the Cosmos technologies?

Cosmos is a set of technologies that allow developers to build their own blockchains and applications on top of them. The main technologies are:

  • Tendermint: A blockchain consensus engine that powers the Cosmos SDK.
  • Cosmos SDK: A modular framework for building blockchain applications.
  • IBC: A protocol for connecting blockchains together.
  • Dymension Rollapps: Layer 1 blockchain connecting users and liquidity with modular blockchains called RollApps.

What’s the bottleneck?

The Cosmos technologies are powerful, but they can be difficult to use and the generated data is complex to consume.

You have to write a lot of code to interact with the chain, deploy nodes and monitor them, build clients with custom protobufs, and more.

Or, you can use Orbit Codes.

What is Orbit Codes?

Orbit Codes is a company ran by developers for developers. We have been involved in all the major Cosmos projects, at one point or another, and we know the pain points.

What does Orbit Codes offer?

We have developed a homemade high-performance indexing technology that allows to index the data from the Cosmos chains and make it available in a simple and easy-to-use API. Data is available on different layers:

  • Raw data: We index the raw data from the chain, such as blocks, transactions, and events.
  • Aggregated data: We index the data in a more user-friendly way, such as account balances, token transfers, validators, delegations, proposals, and more.
  • Enriched data: We enrich the data with additional information, such as the price of the tokens, the social media of the validators, and more.
  • Custom data: We can index custom data for you, such as the data from your smart contracts.

How can I consume the data?

We think that the best way to consume the data entirely depends of your needs. That’s why we offer different ways to consume it:

  • GraphQL API: A powerful and flexible API that allows you to query by using our proprietary schemes.
  • Raw Access: You can access the raw data directly from our databases with their query languages: PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, and more.
  • Live Notifications: Listen our Kafka notifications to get real-time events names and basic IDs, then query the data from previous methods.
