I read the official Chinese research report from @arbitrum, and little dinosaur would like to share my understanding of Arbitrum Everywhere 🦖 🦖-+-+- -+-+- -+-+-🦖 Arbitrum is currently the number one Ethereum Layer 2 by TVS (Total Value Secured). As of the time of writing, the total asset preservation amount has reached 19.61 billion USD. We once referred to Arbitrum as the Apple of the Layer 2 network world. Now, Arbitrum has also launched the Arbitrum Orbit "one-click chain" platform, derived from its own technical framework. By using the official technical suite services, anyone can build their own Layer 2 or Layer 3 public chain based on Arbitrum's tech stack (for example, emerging projects like Plume/Gravity/EDU/XAI are all built on this framework, and currently, 48 public chains have publicly announced their use of Arbitrum Orbit's technical architecture). 🦖-+-+- -+-+- -+-+-🦖 Arbitrum Digital Sovereign Nation The concept of Digital Sovereign Nation is gradually proposed by Offchain Labs/Arbitrum DAO in 2023-2024, and by 2025, it has become one of the core narratives of the Arbitrum ecosystem. Arbitrum is not just a "single Rollup" but a comprehensive system of [technology + governance + ecosystem]. They hope to elevate the originally simple positioning of "scaling tool" and use the analogy of a "nation" to describe the organizational structure of the Arbitrum ecosystem: * Chain (Arbitrum One / Nova / Orbit chain) = "territory of the nation" * DAO governance = "citizen assembly / constitution" * Security committee = "judicial institution / national defense institution" * ARB token holders = "citizens" * Developers / DApps = "industry and culture" Thus, the entire Arbitrum ecosystem is narrated as a digital sovereign nation, with its own constitution, rules, territory, and residents. 🦖-+-+- -+-+- -+-+-🦖 Arbitrum Revenue Diversification According to the semi-annual report released by Arbitrum at the end of May, its revenue is 81.8% from transaction fees, 11.8% from Timeboost (an official trading bidding ranking service), and the rest comes from the official treasury income and Orbit authorization fees. 🦖-+-+- -+-+- -+-+-🦖 Arbitrum Technological Innovations Stylus (upgraded virtual machine) Stylus is a smart contract execution environment that has been online on the Arbitrum mainnet since September 2024, running in parallel with the native EVM. It allows developers to write smart contracts using other programming languages, including Rust/C/C++, and ensures that smart contracts written in different languages can interact and access each other on-chain. Limited Liquidity Delay (BoLD) BoLD allows anyone to challenge and verify the data submitted to Layer 2, enabling a single honest validator to protect the rollup from malicious sequencer attacks. As of now, Arbitrum is also the only Layer 2 network that meets all the conditions defined by Vitalik for decentralized L2 Phase 1. 🦖-+-+- -+-+- -+-+-🦖 That's the content summarized by little dinosaur. By 2025, Arbitrum has completed the narrative upgrade from "airdrop chain" to a truly mature "digital sovereign nation." Wishing for Arbitrum's "Arbitrum Everywhere" to be realized soon! 🐸 @arbitrum_cn @arbitrum #arbitrum $ARB
