Arbitrum & Orbit

Arbitrum

Arbitrum is a Layer 2 (L2) scaling solution for Ethereum. Instead of forcing every transaction to be processed directly on Ethereum, Arbitrum batches transactions, executes them efficiently on its own chain, and posts the results back to Ethereum for settlement.

This design provides:

• Lower costs – gas fees are a fraction of Ethereum mainnet.

• Higher throughput – more transactions can be processed per second.

• Ethereum-level security – all Arbitrum activity is ultimately secured by Ethereum.

Arbitrum has become one of the leading Layer 2s, supporting a large ecosystem of apps, DeFi protocols, and custom networks.

Arbitrum Orbit

Arbitrum Orbit is the framework that allows projects to build their own custom Layer 3 (L3) chains on top of Arbitrum.

An Orbit chain inherits Ethereum’s security and Arbitrum’s scalability while giving projects the freedom to:

• Define how their chain processes transactions.

• Choose native or custom tokens for gas.

• Decide whether the chain is public or permissioned.

Orbit makes it possible to create application-specific blockchains that still connect seamlessly to the Ethereum ecosystem.

Carnomaly and Orbit

Carnomaly runs on CarrChain, a dedicated Layer 3 built with Arbitrum Orbit. This allows us to leverage Ethereum’s security and Arbitrum’s scalability whilst tailoring the chain specifically for automotive data and workflows.
