Arbitrum Orbit Overview
Customizable and Decentralized
Arbitrum Orbit offers a groundbreaking and customizable toolkit for blockchain developers seeking to launch their own dedicated chains. It enables the creation of Arbitrum Rollup and AnyTrust chains, either as Layer 2 (L2) chains settling directly to Ethereum—like re.al—or as Layer 3 (L3) chains settling to any Ethereum L2, like Arbitrum One.
Tailored Chain Architecture
At re.al, we have embraced the comprehensive capabilities offered by Arbitrum Orbit, selecting and integrating components that resonate with our specific requirements. This strategic choice allows us to incorporate custom components, including the planned migration to Celestia for our Data Availability (DA) solutions, which further ensures our chain architecture is perfectly aligned with our vision, operational needs and consumer demands while also maintaining overarching Ethereum alignment.
re.al's Configuration Choices with Arbitrum Orbit
We've utilized Arbitrum Orbit to configure our chain with the following options:
Rollup: This configuration posts complete transaction data directly onto Ethereum, ensuring maximum security and decentralization.
AnyTrust: This mode introduces a Data Availability Committee (DAC) for storing transaction data, balancing between performance and decentralization.
Leveraging Arbitrum Nitro Technology
Orbit chains benefit from Arbitrum Nitro, the advanced technology stack that includes interactive fraud proofs, advanced compression, EVM+ compatibility via Stylus, and ongoing improvements. This ensures our chain is built on a solid foundation of the cutting-edge in Ethereum scaling technology.
Key Advantages of re.al's Adoption of Arbitrum Orbit
Customization and Control: Provides the ability to create a modular chain tailored to our exact use-case, with full control over its features and governance.
Extensive Customization Options: From gas tokens to protocol logic, Orbit chains offer unparalleled flexibility to meet specific project needs.
Scalability and Performance: Offers dedicated throughput and resources, eliminating the need to compete for space and computation on shared networks.
Security and Reliability: Benefits directly from Ethereum's security model, while allowing for independent and decentralized governance.
EVM+ Compatibility: Ensures smart contract compatibility with a wide range of programming languages (Solidity, Rust, C, C++) and tools, facilitating easy deployment and migration of smart contracts.
Gas Efficiency and Price Predictability: Increases transaction efficiency and offers more stable gas pricing, enhancing the user experience.
Access Optionality: Allows for varying degrees of openness, from fully re.al's fully permissionless environment to restricted spaces tailored to specific protocol needs .
