Hourglass deploys in Arbitrum ecosystem
Hourglass has deployed in the Arbitrum ecosystem, taking advantage of the permissionless profit-sharing model. The program allows Orbit chains to create customized L2s or L3s that settle directly to Ethereum or other Ethereum L2s. A portion of the profit sharing will support the Arbitrum Developer Guild. L3s settling to Arbitrum One and Nova are exempt from contributing revenue. The program offers support for highly customizable chain configurations and provides freedom from shared governance.
Congrats to Hourglass on deploying in the Arbitrum ecosystem! 💙🧡
We’re thrilled to announce that Hourglass is now live on Arbitrum, offering low-fee, secure stablecoin swaps to all Arbinauts! 👩🚀👨🚀 Many thanks to @peterhaymond and the incredible team at Offchain Labs for their support.
