Arbitrum Stylus: Empowering Developers with Multi-Language Smart Contracts

Arbitrum Stylus has gone live on mainnet, introducing MultiVM capabilities that let developers write smart contracts in languages like Rust, C, and C++ while maintaining full compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). This upgrade builds on Arbitrum’s Nitro stack, delivering better performance, lower gas costs, and greater flexibility for creating efficient decentralized applications.

For users and builders, Stylus opens doors to optimized resource use through WebAssembly (WASM) integration, making it easier to handle complex computations on-chain without sacrificing speed or security.

Key Benefits for Developers and Users

• Language Flexibility: Code in Rust, C, or C++ alongside Solidity — ideal for performance-critical apps.
• EVM Interoperability: Seamlessly interact with existing Ethereum tools and contracts.
• Cost Efficiency: Reduced gas fees for intensive operations, saving time and resources.
• Enhanced Performance: Leverage WASM for faster execution in DeFi, gaming, and beyond.
• Ecosystem Growth: Join a thriving Layer 2 network praised by Ethereum leaders for scalable innovation.
