Orbs is a proof-of-stake blockchain network that its current documentation positions as Layer 3 infrastructure for advanced on-chain trading. Its ORBS token is used in the network’s validator and delegation system; applications such as dLIMIT and dTWAP can add advanced order execution to supported decentralized exchanges without replacing those exchanges’ settlement chains.

Network and trading tools
Orbs documentation describes a permissionless proof-of-stake network whose elected validators are called Guardians; ORBS holders can delegate stake to them. The current product suite includes dTWAP, which divides an order into smaller executions over time, and dLIMIT, which aims to execute a limit order only when its price conditions are met. A limit order may never execute if the market does not reach the specified price. These tools require integration with a trading application, so their availability depends on the exchanges and networks that support them.
ORBS tokenomics
ORBS is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum with a maximum and total supply of 10 billion. CoinGecko listed approximately 5 billion as circulating at the snapshot above. Orbs’ documentation says Guardians stake ORBS in smart contracts on Ethereum and Polygon, and community participants can delegate stake to them. The project’s token-integrity page identifies the Ethereum contract as 0xff56cc6b1e6ded347aa0b7676c85ab0b3d08b0fa; check the contract rather than relying on the ticker alone because unrelated tokens can use similar names.
What Layer 3 means here
Orbs describes its Layer 3 role as adding execution logic and trading tools around existing Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks. It is not a new settlement chain that replaces Ethereum or the DEX where a user places an order. That distinction matters: a product’s advertised order type does not remove smart-contract, validator, liquidity, integration, or underlying-chain risks.
