Inspired by the evolutionary leap from IaaS to PaaS in cloud computing, Orbit aims to simplify the development of blockchain applications, enabling developers from both Web2 and Web3 backgrounds to build future-proof applications where they can focus on their business logic and not the underlying blockchain integrations.\n\n## Vision \n\nOur vision with Orbit is to emulate the transformation that Cloud providers brought to computing, by providing a platform that significantly lowers the entry barrier for blockchain application development. The institutional wallet started as our \"demo app\", demonstrating the potential of ICP’s Chain Fusion. However, the core of our innovation lies in the platform itself, which enables developers to build diverse applications, from simple single-user wallets to complex multi-approval Enterprise Systems, all with the same ease of use.\n\n## User facing applications\n\nThe [orbit.global](https://orbit.global) is the main entry point for users to interact with the Orbit platform. It provides access to the Orbit Wallet application, which is a dapp that allows users to manage their digital assets tailored for multi-approval scenarios. The wallet supports user management, transaction history, permissions management, and other features that are essential for managing digital assets in a secure and user-friendly way.\n\n## System Overview\n\n```mermaid\nflowchart LR\n    wallet[(\"Wallet (App)\")] -- connects to --\u003e Control_Panel;\n    wallet -- connects to --\u003e Station;\n\n    Control_Panel[(Control Panel)] -- deploys --\u003e Station;\n    Station[(Station)] -- deploys \u0026 controls --\u003e Upgrader;\n    Upgrader[(Upgrader)] -- deploys \u0026 controls --\u003e Station;\n```\n\nOrbit is composed of several components, each with its own role and responsibilities. Here is a brief overview of each component:\n\n- **Wallet (App)**: The initial showcase application we've built on top of Orbit Core Services. It is responsible for managing users, transactions, and other wallet-related operations.\n- **Control Panel**: The control panel is a canister that facilitates common operations for accessing and managing Orbit Stations.\n- **Station**: A station is the core canister component of Orbit. It is a trustless multi-custody canister that allows users to manage their digital assets and operations.\n- **Upgrader**: The upgrader is responsible for managing the lifecycle of the station canister. It allows for seamless and secure upgrades of the station canister.\n\nFor detailed information on orbit components and terminology, please refer to the [Orbit Glossary](docs/old/GLOSSARY.md).\n\n## Target Architecture\n\nThe Orbit platform is designed to be modular and extensible, allowing developers to build a wide range of applications on top of it. The platform consists of several components, including the Orbit Station canisters, UI canisters and Control Panel. Developers can build custom applications using the Orbit SDK and CDK, and extend the platform with third-party integrations from the Extensions Marketplace for additional functionality. The highlighted components are part of the current release. The remaining components will be developed in future iterations.\n\n```mermaid\nblock-beta\n  columns 1\n    block:COMPONENTS\n      apps[\"UI canister\u003cbr /\u003e(Wallet, Governance, …)\"]\n      control_panel[\"Control Panel\u003cbr /\u003eOrbit DAO / B2B\"]\n      marketplace[\"Extensions marketplace\u003cbr /\u003e3rd party ecosystem\"]\n    end\n    space\n    station[\"Orbit Station Canisters\u003cbr/\u003eOwner-controlled\"]\n    space\n    block:DEV\n      cdk[\"CDK\u003cbr /\u003eICP canisters\"]\n      sdk[\"SDK\u003cbr /\u003eclient apps\"]\n    end\n    space\n    block:ECOSYSTEM\n      integrations[\"Mobile \u0026 Cloud apps\u003cbr /\u003eWeb2 \u0026 non-ICP Web3\"]\n    end\n    apps --\u003e station\n    control_panel --\u003e station\n    DEV --\u003e station\n    integrations --\u003e sdk\n    station --\u003e marketplace\n    style station stroke:#00ffcc,stroke-width:2px\n    style apps stroke:#00ffcc,stroke-width:2px\n    style control_panel stroke:#00ffcc,stroke-width:2px\n```\n\n\n## Build and run yourself\n\n### Requirements\n\nPlease make sure you have the following installed:\n\n- [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/learn/get-started)\n- [DFX](https://internetcomputer.org/docs/current/developer-docs/setup/install)\n- [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm)\n\n### Building the Code\n\nStart a local replica listening on port 4943:\n\n```\ndfx start --clean --pocketic --host 127.0.0.1:4943\n```\n\nNote that the local replica should be stopped using `dfx stop` rather than by CTRL^C.\n\nIf you want to resume your local replica after `dfx stop`, then you need to install the Python package `cbor2`,\nhave the binary `crc32` to compute CRC32 checksums on your executable path,\nand use the following command for the first time:\n\n```\ndfx start --clean --host 127.0.0.1:4943\n```\n\nThen the following steps can be used to setup the Orbit canister ecosystem for local development.\n\n```bash\n./orbit --init\n```\n\nThis will build the canisters, install the required node modules and deploy the canisters to your local replica. All the canisters will be deployed to the `local` network with their fixed canister ids.\n\nYou can access the wallet interface at [http://werw6-ayaaa-aaaaa-774aa-cai.localhost:4943](http://werw6-ayaaa-aaaaa-774aa-cai.localhost:4943).\n\n### Local development\n\nSee [HACKING](HACKING.md)\n\n## Licensing\n\nThis project is licensed under the [Apache 2.0](./LICENSE) license.\n\n## Contributing\n\nThis project is currenly in alpha and is not yet open for contributions.
