Arbitrum has launched Stylus on the mainnet, a new virtual machine that enables developers to write EVM-compatible smart contracts in WebAssembly (WASM) languages such as Rust, C, and C++. This innovation is expected to significantly reduce gas fees and enhance computing and memory efficiency. Stylus supports more programming languages and offers more use cases, making it an attractive option for developers. The launch has received positive feedback from entities like Superposition and TheoNetwork, who are excited about the potential of Stylus and its MultiVM to facilitate more advanced and efficient blockchain applications.
