Arbitrum

Timeboost is now live on Arbitrum One and Nova! This new transaction ordering policy allows users to bid for express lane access, which provides faster transaction inclusion while maintaining Arbitrum a private mempool. Timeboost brings multiple benefits to the Arbitrum ecosystem: - Reduces spam & network congestion by discouraging wasteful latency races - Creates a new potential revenue stream for the Arbitrum DAO - Protects users from front-running and sandwich attacks thanks to the private mempool We're excited about what this unlocks for builders and users across the ecosystem!

Introducing Converge, the next Arbitrum chain — purpose-built to be the settlement layer for onchain finance and Real World Assets (RWAs). Developed by Ethena Labs and Securitize, Converge is a fully customized Arbitrum chain leveraging Celestia for data availability. Here’s what sets it apart: - Native gas tokens: USDe and USDtb - Ultra-fast: 100ms blocks (targeting 50ms) - Settlement layer for Ethereal and potentially more appchains - Validator network powered by sENA + Celestia - Support for the Stylus upgrade: enabling developers to build smart contracts in Solidity, Rust, C, and C++ With over $7B in liquidity — including USDe, BlackRock’s BUIDL, and tokenized assets from firms like Apollo and KKR — Converge will make these assets productive in DeFi for the first time. Arbitrum is becoming the home for RWAs and institutional DeFi — and Converge will be a key hub in this growing landscape. With over 80 chains powered by Arbitrum, we’re proud to work alongside Ethena Labs, Securitize, Celestia, and Conduit to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the EVM.

Real World Assets (RWA) and Stablecoin adoption on Arbitrum has been monumental!

The ArbitrumDAO just turned 2! 🥳 Two years ago, ArbitrumDAO was founded with a bold vision: to place the future of Ethereum scaling into the hands of the community. Today, it stands as a living example of decentralized governance, driven by one of the most active and innovative communities in Web3. In just 24 months, ArbitrumDAO has evolved into a model of governance—efficient, forward-thinking, and community-driven. From voting on 72 onchain proposals to securing nearly 2.8B ARB in the treasury, the DAO has redefined decentralized decision-making and growth. Some key highlights: - 750M ARB deployed across transformative initiatives like the Gaming Catalyst Program (GCP), Stable Treasury Endowment Program (STEP), and the Foundation’s strategic partnership budget. - 20,000 ETH in profit generated through diversified investments, including Real-World Assets (RWAs). - Governance of Arbitrum One & Nova, with impactful proposals such as Stylus, BoLD, and Timeboost, each shaping the future of Ethereum scaling. To commemorate this milestone, the Arbitrum Foundation is releasing a special anniversary digital collectable: “The ArbitrumDAO 2nd Anniversary: Welcome to the Land of Liquidity” on Magic Eden. This anniversary is more than a celebration. It’s a tribute to the collaborative spirit, values, and vision that powers ArbitrumDAO. The journey continues, and we’re just getting started.
