Arbitrum continues its development by activating new tools and integrations for developers, making it easier to create applications in the blockchain ecosystem.
Launch of Orbit for Developers
Arbitrum has activated its Orbit framework for developers, enabling the creation of specialized blockchains. These chains process transactions on Ethereum while using Arbitrum’s technology. Developers can design execution environments tailored to specific applications and use ETH for transaction fees. Orbit installations have been adopted by various projects related to trading platforms and games.
Stylus Tool and Its Benefits
The new Stylus tool offers developers the ability to write contracts using C, C++, and Rust in addition to Solidity. This change facilitates the transition for programmers from traditional development fields. The increasing number of game developers and middleware providers adopting Stylus confirms the tool's growing appeal.
Arbitrum DAO Funding Discussion
The Arbitrum DAO is considering a proposal to allocate 100 million ARB tokens to encourage development on Orbit-based chains. This requested amount exceeds most of the Layer 2 incentives planned for this year.
Recent upgrades in the Arbitrum ecosystem aim to address distinct needs: custom blockchain creation, cost reduction for social apps, and broader developer access. Successful cross-chain integrations may significantly ease application development.
