Reality operates on @arbitrum as part of its broader onchain infrastructure for tokenized real-world assets.

As financial markets increasingly move toward programmable and continuously accessible environments, scalability and settlement efficiency become central to how tokenized assets operate at scale.

Arbitrum supports the broader infrastructure layer behind Reality's tokenized equity and real-world asset ecosystem.

Today we’re sharing the next chapter for @Offchain.

Offchain Labs -> Offchain may seem like a small move, but it’s highly consequential and represents the evolution of our company and our brand.

What began as deep R&D into Ethereum scaling has expanded into a much larger mission:

building best-in-class infrastructure for enterprises operating in the programmable economy.

Over the years, we’ve brought together some of the best teams in crypto across the stack:

- The finance-native blockchain platform: @arbitrum
- Advancing L1 consensus: @prylabs
- Powering over 5M smart accounts: @zerodev_app

We believe the next generation of financial infrastructure will be programmable by default, and Offchain is the strategic infrastructure partner for the world's most ambitious companies.

While the rebrand signals an evolution and expansion from our early beginning in the research lab, our Princeton roots, our academic rigor and culture, and our unique R&D capabilities are still a central part of our identity and aren't disappearing with this rebrand. We’ll still use Offchain Labs when referring to our industry-leading research arm, and we have a dedicated home on the new website for the Labs part of Offchain. https://t.co/PZ2G55w5XV 

By bringing our research excellence and enterprise product suite together under the unified Offchain brand, we’re building the infrastructure for the programmable economy.

We're now Offchain.

A new chapter focused on powering institutions as they move onchain.

What we’ve built across @arbitrum, @prylabs and @zerodev_app is coming together into something bigger.

This is just the first step. Stay tuned.

Capital efficiency is crucial for institutions moving onchain.

.@usher_web3 built Fiet on the Arbitrum Platform so DeFi can integrate with existing capital systems and offer a more practical path for institutions building on the programmable economy.

@arbitrum’s long term in visuals

#Arbitrum #Blockchain #l2

[Steven Goldfeder @sgoldfed]

The scaling/revenue paradox: the worse your scaling technology, the higher your short term revenue

Last month, an Arbitrum upgrade made the chain much more resilient to demand surges.

In the short term, this means less revenue for the chain. And if we weren’t playing a long term game that would be bad.

But Arbitrum is here for the long term. And low fees in the face of volatility and high demand means that protocols on Arbitrum are able to continue to operate without a hitch and without unbearable fee spikes. Which means that in the long term, Arbitrum will remain the absolute best place to build your DeFi protocol. And in the long term that will lead to more revenue.

Below is a comparison of how the old pricing algorithm (black line) vs new one (that flat blue line on the bottom) would have performed under the recent surge.

The old one would have meant more (short term) revenue. Whereas the new pricing algorithm meant the chain remained usable and has been lauded by many Arbitrum DeFi founders.

So if you’re out here touting your revenue, but your fees jumped 20x with recent demand, one of two things (or both) are probably true:

1. Your “scaling technology” is terrible
2. You’re optimizing for the short term
