Orbital is a cross-platform development dashboard for building, testing, and deploying Nervos CKB smart contracts. It gives developers a web interface for managing wallets, checking balances, syncing project structure, funding devnet wallets, and running build/deploy workflows without juggling separate terminal commands.
The local runtime is powered by Orbkit, an npm package that connects a developer’s machine to the Orbital dashboard. Orbkit handles local project access, contract builds, devnet tasks, deployment requests, and runtime updates while the frontend provides the control panel.
