🌌 Arbitrum Orbit Layer 2
Corn is built on the Arbitrum Orbit (Nitro) stack, a highly secure and efficient Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum. This enables Corn to leverage Arbitrum’s powerful rollup technology, enhancing scalability, lowering transaction costs, and speeding up execution, all while benefiting from Ethereum’s security.
What Are Layer 2s?
Layer 2s are scaling solutions built on top of Layer 1 blockchains like Ethereum. They improve transaction throughput and reduce costs by processing transactions off-chain and bundling them back onto the main Ethereum chain for final settlement. In a sense, Layer 2s are separate blockchain networks that maintain Ethereum’s security while helping it scale.
Ethereum’s Rollup-Centric Roadmap
Ethereum is moving towards a rollup-centric roadmap, where rollups like Arbitrum process transactions off-chain, leaving Ethereum Layer 1 to focus on security and data availability. This roadmap aims to make Ethereum more scalable and efficient while maintaining decentralization.
What is Arbitrum Orbit?
Arbitrum Orbit is a customizable Layer 2 development framework powered by Arbitrum. It allows projects like Corn to build their own chains while benefiting from Ethereum’s security. Corn integrates seamlessly into this infrastructure, ensuring a high-performance environment for Bitcoin and DeFi applications.
Benefits of Arbitrum Orbit for Corn
- Security: Built on Ethereum’s robust Layer 1.
- Scalability: Enhanced transaction throughput and speed.
- Cost Efficiency: Lower fees for users and developers.
By utilizing Arbitrum Orbit, Corn ensures the highest standards of security, scalability, and efficiency, making it an ideal foundation for Corn's Bitcoin-centric ecosystem.
