About Orb.dev

Orb.dev is the community-led development hub behind Orb — an open platform where people from every country come together to localize, build, and improve the core Orb app for their own communities. Members claim tasks from a transparent roadmap across seven pillars — backend security, localization, AI + human collaboration, UI/UX, mobile deployment, marketing, and peer review — and earn Orb Credits (MP and LP) for work that the community verifies together. Every approved contribution plants a contribution tree: a living, inheritable asset that drips MP and LP into your savings every month it serves the community, for you and your children.

It is built for families who want real independence and a safety net they can pass on — developers, translators, designers, reviewers, and everyday makers who would rather build lasting value for their community than trade hours for a one-time wage. No money is required to take part: skills, effort, and care for your neighbors are the only entry fee. Country hubs let each region shape Orb around its own language, culture, and needs, while the community garden shows every contribution growing in the open.

Orb.dev is built by its own community under the stewardship of 18 Benedict, which takes no cut — 100% of the value stays with the people who create it, with dividends pro-rated to each contribution. The code, the roadmap, the budgets, and the rewards are all open for anyone to inspect, question, and improve. If you can read this, you can already be part of it.
