### Introduction

Orbit is designed to explore network of a blockchain wallet by recursively crawling through transaction history. The data is rendered as a graph to reveal major sources, sinks and suspicious connections.



> **Note:** Orbit only runs on Python 3.2 and above.



### Usage



Let's start by crawling transaction history of a wallet

```

python3 orbit.py -s 1AJbsFZ64EpEfS5UAjAfcUG8pH8Jn3rn1F

```

Crawling multiple wallets is no different.

```

python3 orbit.py -s 1AJbsFZ64EpEfS5UAjAfcUG8pH8Jn3rn1F,1ETBbsHPvbydW7hGWXXKXZ3pxVh3VFoMaX

```

Orbit fetches last 50 transactions from each wallet by default, but it can be tuned with `-l` option.

```

python3 orbit.py -s 1AJbsFZ64EpEfS5UAjAfcUG8pH8Jn3rn1F -l 100

```

Orbit's default crawling depth is 3 i.e. it fetches the history of target wallet(s), crawls the newly found wallets and then crawls the wallets in the result again. The crawling depth can be increased or decresead with `-d` option.

```

python3 orbit.py -s 1AJbsFZ64EpEfS5UAjAfcUG8pH8Jn3rn1F -d 2

```

Wallets that have made just a couple of interactions with our target may not be important, Orbit can be told to crawl top N wallets at each level by using the `-t` option.

```

python3 orbit.py -s 1AJbsFZ64EpEfS5UAjAfcUG8pH8Jn3rn1F -t 20

```

If you want to view the collected data with a graph viewer of your choice, you can use -o option.

```

python3 orbit.py -s 1AJbsFZ64EpEfS5UAjAfcUG8pH8Jn3rn1F -o output.graphml

```

Support Formats



- `graphml` (Supported by most graph viewers)

- `json` (For raw processing)



This is your terminal dashboard.

### Visualization

Once the scan is complete, the graph will automatically open in your default browser. If it doesn't open, open `quark.html` manually.

Don't worry if your graph looks messy like the one below or worse.



![graph-setup](https://i.ibb.co/xJ38DF9/Screenshot-2019-07-26-08-21-18.png)



Select the **Make Clusters** option to form clusters using community detection algorithm. After that, you can use **Color Clusters** to give different colors to each community and then use **Spacify** option to fix overlapping nodes & edges.

The thickness of edges depends on the frequency of transactions between two wallets while the size of a node depends on both transaction frequency and the number of connections of the node.



As Orbit uses ![Quark](https://github.com/s0md3v/Quark) to render the graph, more information about the various features and controls is available in Quark's README.
