Arbitrum

Arbitrum, a leading Ethereum layer 2 scaling solution, has announced the launch of Arbitrum Orbit chains, which allow users to deploy custom gas tokens. Users can choose the Orbit stack, a settlement layer like Base or Arbitrum One, and a data availability solution like AnyTrust or Celestia. By pasting the gas token's contract address on the settlement layer, users can deploy their own custom gas token. While there are no added benefits to joining Arbitrum's community other than a corresponding role on their Discord server, this new feature provides greater flexibility and customization options for developers building on the Arbitrum network.
