Basic Concepts

🛠 Understanding the Technology

All chains in the Arbitrum ecosystem, including Orb3, are built on Arbitrum Nitro, the foundational technology underpinning the entire network 🌐.
Nitro utilizes a variant of WebAssembly for its underlying VM for fraud proofs, ensuring robust security and efficiency.
For an in-depth understanding of Nitro, readers are encouraged to explore detailed resources available 📚.

Orb3 utilizes the Arbitrum Anytrust protocol, which manages data availability with a selected set of parties 🤝.
This protocol reduces transaction costs by introducing an additional trust layer for data availability, as opposed to Ethereum's standard mechanism.

Orb3 is an example of an AnyTrust chain, offering an alternative to purely trustless and more L1-gas intensive chains ⛓️.
Both trust-based and trustless options are built on the Nitro foundation, providing flexibility and choice.

With Arbitrum Orbit, third parties can create their own self-managed Arbitrum Rollup and AnyTrust chains 🛠️.
Orb3 leverages both Rollup and AnyTrust technologies for optimal flexibility in its architecture.
As with all chains in the Arbitrum ecosystem, Orb3 is built on the Nitro framework.

Orb3 operates as an Arbitrum Orbit chain, using Anytrust technology for speed and cost-efficiency 🚀.
Unlike typical self-managed Orbit chains, Orb3 receives direct technical support from Offchain Labs, a significant advantage 🛠️.
Overseen by the Orb3 Foundation, with Offchain Labs providing technical assistance, Orb3 stands out with a canonical bridge within the Arbitrum ecosystem.
Unique enhancements include higher gas and contract limits, making Orb3 an ideal platform for ambitious blockchain game development and gameplay 🎮.
Orb3 features its own custom gas fee token, “ORB3,” tailored to its ecosystem's specific needs and operations 💎.
