A common reason people use Solana explorers is to look up Solana token details by entering the token’s address, often called a “contract address” (CA) or, on Solana, more accurately, a token mint account. Using Orb, traders can explore a token’s price, trading volume, number of holders, circulating token supply, markets, liquidity, token metadata, authority, and access trading charts. In the below example, we’ll look at the Solana token page for $ORE: Address: (oreoU2P8bN6jkk3jbaiVxYnG1dCXcYxwhwyK9jSybcp)

​

At the top of every token page, you see the most important metrics, including:
  • Token name, icon, and address
  • Website and links to social media
  • Total token supply and market cap
  • Verification status and links to trading charts
  • Token price, holder count, and trading volume

Token Transaction History

The History tab shows a list of the token’s recent activity, including transaction types, summaries, execution time, programs invoked, and transaction signatures.

Selecting “Filters” opens a panel with options to filter by:
  • Status (e.g., success/fail)
  • Token (e.g., USDC)
  • Program (e.g., DFlow Aggregator v4)
You can also hide spam and sort results by oldest first to view a token’s earliest transactions.

Token Markets

Click the Markets tab to view all liquidity pairs (e.g., ORE-SOL, ORE-USDC), trading venues (e.g., Orca, Meteora DLMM), and metrics including liquidity, 24-hour volume, total number of trades, and number of unique traders.

Token Holders

Traders may want to verify that a token’s supply isn’t highly concentrated in a small number of holders. Clicking the Holders tab in Orb lets you quickly analyze the top wallets, their supply percentages, and value (denominated in US dollars).
