Some personal news: I'm joining @arbitrum as a Developer Evangelist to help meet developers where they are and drive adoption. I'll be working alongside my goated colleagues @hummusonrails, @aboutlo & the rest of the Arbitrum Foundation. As some of you may know, I have a massive passion for Ethereum and have been bullish on the L2-centric roadmap ever since it was first considered. After supporting L2 teams throughout the years and gaining experience, I believe Arbitrum has what it takes to break down barriers to adoption, offer a unified developer experience through Stylus, and make Ethereum the most accessible to developers it has ever been. My scope of work will revolve around nurturing the vibrant Arbitrum developer community, sharing educational content on Stylus and the Arbitrum tech stack, and organizing sick regional events like OpenHouse to meet you where you're at. The state of Arbitrum today is mindblowing, but we're not stopping there. Arbitrum everywhere.

One of the strongest teams coming out of Open House London, now live on testnet.
Replying to @xLiquida
@xLiquida is now live on @arbitrum testnet. We’re building a next-generation repo market: tokenised UK gilts as collateral for 24/7 institutional sterling liquidity. We’re targeting production in Q1 2027.

If you're a founder trying to figure out where to focus your engineering efforts, joining the next Open House in Singapore gives you access to full sessions like this, and much, much more. Join us: arbitrum-singapore.hackquest…
Should founders tell engineers 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 to build, or 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮 to solve? Watch @Offchain explain the importance of aligning on problem statements together first gives engineers the space to build the best solution. 👇🏻

ArbOS Elara TL;DR fees that adapt to network conditions instead of lagging behind them, Rust devs get 4x the contract size to build bigger apps, compliance at the protocol level enabling tokenized stocks, RWAs and real financial products to come onchain without the duct tape
ArbOS Elara is live on the Arbitrum Platform 🌞 New for dedicated blockchains: ✅ Protocol-level compliance filtering ✅ Customizable priority fee support ✅ Alternative data API New on Arbitrum One: ✅ Smarter base fee tuning ✅ 4x capacity increase to Stylus contracts

TL;DR: Arbitrum blocks are now ZK-provable with the exact same code the optimistic prover runs. Proofs plug straight into BoLD which means you can get your withdrawals in hours, not days. And it's merging into Nitro. ZK isn't replacing fraud proofs here, it's stacking on top of them 🔥
ZK Settlement is coming to Arbitrum - This paves the way for private Arbitrum chains - Allows for Faster @Ethereum withdrawals (from days to hours) Thanks to @SuccinctLabs and @Offchain, Arbitrum chains will be able to implement this new technology soon

"[...Arbitrum] is a network of coordinated entities looking to build together, and we saw that directly at Arbitrum Founder House in London this July, where we entered and took first prize in the general category against 64 products and 140 founders. This provided us with grant money but also brought to our attention efforts such as the Arbitrum Audit Program, which puts $10m behind subsidising third-party smart contract audits as well as ArbiFuel which sponsors gas so teams can onboard users while avoiding that friction."
We chose Arbitrum as our native blockchain and It wasn't because of gas fees. Read about how we made that decision.

I've spent a great weekend with founders in London - and my biggest takeaway is that iterating on PMF and GTM can't happen early enough I hope to run many more events like this, because the impact is palpable and comes at the exact right time
New financial products just came out of stealth at Founder House London. Over the weekend, 140 founders came together to ship new products across agentic finance, tokenization, payments and more on the Arbitrum Platform. Now for the winners of the $300K prize. 👇🏆
