Arbitrum activates Atlas upgrade, readies for additional fee reductions on March 18
The newest improve is predicted to considerably scale back transaction prices and unlock new use instances.
Offchain Labs, the core developer behind Arbitrum, has introduced the profitable activation of the ArbOS 20 improve, referred to as “Atlas,” on the Arbitrum community. The improve supplies Ethereum’s Dencun assist with the implementation of blobs to attain environment friendly information processing at a decreased value. With the Atlas improve now operational, Arbitrum is about to implement additional reductions in execution transaction charges on March 18.
The blobs have landed on Arbitrum! 💙
🐡 ArbOS 20 “Atlas” is now dwell, blobs are in impact, lowering information posting prices.
⛽ Further execution fuel payment reductions for Arbitrum One will go dwell on March 18.

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

Moreover, layer 3 Rollup chains constructed on high of Arbitrum One will routinely 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 akin to Altlayer, Caldera, Conduit, and Gelato have dedicated to upgrading current Orbit chains to assist the Atlas improve and the Ethereum Dencun improve.
The Atlas improve additionally aligns Arbitrum with EVM’s safety requirements by way of assist for EIP-6780. In accordance 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 instances for the crypto neighborhood.
“We’re excited to see the Arbitrum DAO has voted to improve to ArbOS Atlas, which will deliver important advantages to the neighborhood when it comes to improved transaction pricing. This specific improve aligns strongly with our mission to proceed scaling Ethereum in order that it’s extra usable for the lots and native crypto neighborhood,” mentioned Goldfeder.
By optimizing transaction prices, Atlas will allow use instances that have been beforehand thought-about impractical, like gaming, SocialFi, and DeFi exchanges, Offchain Labs famous.
Ethereum’s Dencun improve, which went dwell earlier this week, is predicted to considerably decrease fuel charges on L2 blockchains, and thus improve adoption of the Ethereum ecosystem. Nevertheless, fast payment cuts aren’t assured, because the staff behind these initiatives should improve their structure to adapt to the new customary.
