# Relationship to Arbitrum

**re.al** is a modular blockchain built using Arbitrum Orbit.&#x20;

From the start we'll benefit from Arbitrum's category-leading tech and features in the Nitro tech stack including interactive fraud proofs, advanced compression, EVM+ compatibility via Stylus, and continuous upgrades, feature additions, and improvements, incorporating the latest and greatest in Ethereum scaling technology.

Powered by a thesis of modularity, **re.al** will continue to evolve, meeting new consumer needs, integrating new technologies and seeking greater decentralization in core elements of the chain. Updates to chain components may or may not be provided by Arbitrum.

**re.al** will deploy using the Arbitrum Data Availability Committee (DAC) to expedite the settlement of transactions, lowering costs while still maintaining the security of Ethereum.
