Quick Fact
Arbitrum Orbits aims to be the most decentralized and permissionless chain creation framework.
Arbitrum Orbit is an innovative framework designed to enhance the Arbitrum ecosystem by allowing developers to launch customizable Layer 2 and Layer 3 chains. This platform is built on Arbitrum's advanced Nitro technology stack, which ensures that these custom chains benefit from Ethereum-level security while offering greater scalability and lower transaction costs compared to traditional L1 solutions.
Arbitrum Orbit offers great level of customization for blockchain operations, including governance, gas tokens, and data options, supporting both Rollup (optimistic rollups, used by Arbitrum one) and AnyTrust (data availability comitee, used by Arbitrum Nitro) configurations. This versatility is powered by the Nitro technology, ensuring a secure, high-throughput environment with minimal trust requirements
For developers interested in leveraging this technology, Arbitrum provides comprehensive documentation, a GUI interface to launch a new chain and support to guide through the deployment and management of custom chains, making it accessible for both novice and experienced blockchain developers.
