The newest improve is predicted to considerably cut back transaction prices and unlock new use circumstances.
Offchain Labs, the core developer behind Arbitrum, has introduced the profitable activation of the ArbOS 20 improve, often known as “Atlas,” on the Arbitrum community. The improve gives Ethereum’s Dencun help with the implementation of blobs to realize environment friendly information processing at a lowered price. With the Atlas improve now operational, Arbitrum is ready to implement additional reductions in execution transaction charges on March 18.
The blobs have landed on Arbitrum! 💙
🐡 ArbOS 20 “Atlas” is now reside, blobs are in impact, decreasing information posting prices.
⛽ Extra execution gasoline price reductions for Arbitrum One will go reside on March 18.

Initially, the Atlas improve targets layer 1 (L1) posting price reductions by way of EIP-4844, with extra price reductions following subsequent week. In keeping with Arbitrum, Atlas is poised to convey down the L1 surplus price per compressed byte from 32 gwei to zero and decrease the layer 2 (L2) base price from 0.1 gwei to 0.01 gwei. On account of these modifications, Arbitrum One functions ought to have the ability to profit from the brand new pricing construction with out having to make any modifications.
ArbOS Atlas can also be introducing important reductions in different charges for Arbitrum One, and is predicted to be activated by March 18:
1️⃣ L1 surplus price. Cut back the excess price per compressed byte from 32 gwei to 0.
2️⃣ L2 base price. Cut back the minimal from 0.1 gwei to 0.01 gwei.

Moreover, layer 3 Rollup chains constructed on high of Arbitrum One will robotically see decrease charges, whereas self-governed Orbit L2 rollup chains are inspired to undertake ArbOS Atlas and allow blob posting to reap the identical advantages.
As famous by Offchain Labs, Arbitrum RaaS (Rollups-as-a-Service) suppliers resembling Altlayer, Caldera, Conduit, and Gelato have dedicated to upgrading present Orbit chains to help the Atlas improve and the Ethereum Dencun improve.
The Atlas improve additionally aligns Arbitrum with EVM’s safety requirements by way of help for EIP-6780. In keeping with Offchain Labs, this lays the groundwork for future enhancements to the EVM.
Steven Goldfeder, CEO and Co-Founding father of Offchain Labs, believes the Atlas improve will unlock extra use circumstances for the crypto group.
“We’re excited to see the Arbitrum DAO has voted to improve to ArbOS Atlas, which will convey important advantages to the group by way of improved transaction pricing. This explicit improve aligns strongly with our mission to proceed scaling Ethereum in order that it’s extra usable for the plenty and native crypto group,” mentioned Goldfeder.
By optimizing transaction prices, Atlas will allow use circumstances that have been beforehand thought of impractical, like gaming, SocialFi, and DeFi exchanges, Offchain Labs famous.
Ethereum’s Dencun improve, which went reside earlier this week, is predicted to considerably decrease gasoline charges on L2 blockchains, and thus improve adoption of the Ethereum ecosystem. Nevertheless, quick price cuts should not assured, because the staff behind these initiatives should improve their structure to adapt to the new commonplace.
