Orb Labs

Cross-chain blockchain infrastructure with chain abstraction

Overview

Orb Labs builds Web3 infrastructure to simplify cross‑chain blockchain interactions. Its Orby chain abstraction supernode, with OrbyEngine and OrbyKit, lets apps and wallets operate across multiple blockchains and uses universal accounts so users can hold and transact assets from a single interface. It differentiates itself by targeting developers with multi‑chain tooling and a universal account experience, and it monetizes by helping clients capture revenue from transaction order flow. Its goal is to improve interoperability and user experience in Web3 by enabling seamless multi‑chain connectivity for developers and users.
