Arbitrum Orbit Overview

Arbitrum Orbit is an Optimistic rollup-based framework designed to empower web3 businesses by enabling the creation of custom, use case-specific Layer 2 (L2) or Layer 3 (L3) chains in a purely permissionless way. Orbit leverages the Arbitrum Nitro Tech stack, offering unparalleled scalability, advanced compression, full EVM compatibility, and soon-to-be-released cross-chain interoperability. Essentially, Arbitrum Orbit can be thought of as deployable and configurable instances of the Nitro stack, forming an ecosystem of independent chains.

Key Features of Arbitrum Orbit​

  1. Customizable Throughput: Orbit chains provide dedicated throughput, ensuring high performance and resource availability tailored to specific dApp requirements.
  2. EVM+ Compatibility: Support for multiple programming languages (Rust, C++, C, and Solidity) through Stylus, enabling flexible and cost-effective smart contract development.
  3. Predictable Gas Costs: Isolated transaction environments ensure stable and predictable gas fees, crucial for business cost forecasting.
  4. Broad Data Availability Options: Flexibility to choose data availability models, including Ethereum Layer 1 or Data Availability Committees (DACs) for off-chain storage.
  5. Robust Security: Leveraging Ethereum's security and the Arbitrum Nitro tech stack ensures a high level of security for Orbit chains.
