# How Orus works

Orus as a platform collects onchain data from multiple sources and processes raw data into useful data for analyses and monitoring. The data is queried using a minimal DSL that allows fast and customisable charts.

{% hint style="info" %}
This removes the need for complex SQL queries to analyse onchain data and groups all the data you need in a single place.
{% endhint %}
