Understanding Orbit

The fastest way to see where the on-chain market is moving in real time.

What Is Orbit?

Orbit is Terminal One''s real-time market scanner. It shows you the entire on-chain capital market at a glance — organized into three columns that tell you exactly where momentum is.

The Three Columns

Rising — Assets gaining the most in the current timeframe. Sorted by percentage gain. Updated in real time. This is where you see what the market is moving into.

Falling — Assets losing the most. Useful for identifying potential oversold conditions, or for understanding what the market is rotating out of.

Volume — Assets with the highest trading volume regardless of direction. High volume without a clear direction often signals a major move incoming.

The Velocity Indicator

Each token in Orbit has a Velocity score — a proprietary metric that measures the rate of price change relative to typical price action for that asset.

A high Velocity score means the price is moving faster than usual. This is often an early signal before a major move is widely noticed.

How to Use Orbit Effectively

Morning scan — Open Orbit first thing. The Rising column tells you where overnight momentum has built. The Volume column tells you what is getting attention.

Sector filtering — Use the sector tabs above Orbit to focus on a specific asset class. Want to see only RWA assets moving? Filter to RWA/DeFi Infra.

Velocity threshold — Set the minimum Velocity filter to hide low-momentum assets and focus only on tokens with significant movement.

Quick buy — Click any token in Orbit to go directly to its detail page and execute a trade without leaving the flow.
