What is Arbitrum Orbit?

Arbitrum Orbit is a suite of technologies designed to enhance the scalability and performance of Ethereum through Layer 2 & Layer 3 solutions. Developed by Offchain Labs, Arbitrum Orbit leverages rollup technology to provide faster and cheaper transactions while maintaining the security and decentralization of the Ethereum network.

Key Features of Arbitrum Orbit

  • Scalability: Arbitrum Orbit significantly increases the throughput of Ethereum by processing transactions off-chain and only posting summaries on-chain. This reduces congestion and lowers transaction costs.

  • Security: Despite operating off-chain, Arbitrum Orbit inherits the security of Ethereum by utilizing fraud proofs and other mechanisms to ensure that the off-chain computations are correct.

  • EVM Compatibility: Arbitrum Orbit is fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), allowing developers to deploy existing Ethereum smart contracts without modifications.

Integration with Molten

Molten utilizes the Arbitrum Orbit codebase to power its Layer 3 rollup, providing a highly scalable and efficient platform tailored for trading activities. By building on Arbitrum Orbit, Molten benefits from:

  • Enhanced Performance: Leveraging Arbitrum Orbit’s scalability features ensures that Molten can handle a high volume of transactions with minimal latency.

  • Battle Tested: The resilience of the Arbitrum codebase breathes confidence for when Molten onboards millions of traders and transactions onto the network.

  • Robust Security: Molten inherits the robust security model of Arbitrum Orbit, ensuring that all transactions and smart contracts are secure and reliable.

Why Choose Arbitrum Orbit?
