Pill's take:
Not everyone can fit into the current fashion trends
Rather, you'll look better in clothes that FIT you
And that, my friends, is why we have Arbitrum Orbit (no, not clothes, but blockchains) 👇
Before Orbit: "I have a cool app idea, but I need to squeeze it into whatever blockchain exists"
That sounds kinda forced, no?
After Orbit: "I have a cool app idea, let me build the perfect blockchain for it"
A perfect example would be what @RobinhoodApp plans to do ↓
Starting today, @RobinhoodApp will launch tokenized stocks on Arbitrum One, and later - a Robinhood Layer 2 blockchain utilizing the Orbit stack.
Robinhood will be issuing 200+ US stock and ETF tokens on Arbitrum One, for EU customers directly in their Robinhood app.
To their users, the flow will look and feel just like it traditionally would in the US, only in the EU, it’ll be backed by the blockchain.
You can think of @arbitrum as the sun, and all these Orbit chains as planets orbiting around it.
41 chains built on Arbitrum Orbit right now.
$14B bridged and fees per transaction on Orbit chains are extremely low.
Each chain is unique in its own ways as builders get to customize the settings!
Some are gaming-focused - e.g. @apecoin @XAI_GAMES
Some are RWA and DeFi-focused - e.g. @convergeonchain @plumenetwork @use_corn
Some are AI-focused - e.g. @mawariXR @fluence_project
And even though you're building your own chain, you're still part of the Arbitrum family!
Like having your own house in a neighborhood where you share:
• High-quality infrastructure
• Community pool of users & liquidity
• Arbitrum's proven tech
As more builders create their custom Orbit chains, the entire ecosystem gets stronger.
Pill thinks the flywheel is feasible:
More experiments → More users finding what they need → More fees → More developers building
It's not just making Arbitrum bigger - it's making the entire blockchain world more useful and accessible for everyone!
Pill was inspired to dive deeper into Arbitrum Orbit and Stylus because of a post @0xCheeezzyyyy made 👇
6/ @arbitrum Orbit & Stylus are becoming key drivers of multi-vertical growth, powering niche builds across a range of domains.
This aligns with the 'appchain thesis', where customisation + flexibility are essential for optimising infra.
Adoption is ramping up fast:
🔸 83 official ecosystem partners
🔸 41 mainnets live (+32% since April 2024)
🔸 21 in testnet + 21 in active development
🔸>$320M TVL across Arbitrum's ecosystem excl. ArbitrumOne
At this pace, it’s clear the framework is gaining industry-wide recognition as enterprise-grade infrastructure for next-gen blockchain applications.
