Let’s talk about Arbitrum again: Lian Po is old, can he still make a living?

02/20/2025·3MIf Arbitrum is the white lotus for the hair-pussing person, not many people should object.
Many people who fuck hair make their first pot of gold through ARB airdrops, and more people are stimulated by ARB to embark on the path of no return. To this day, whenever there is a project to retaliate, everyone will miss ARB at the same time.
At the moment when L2 is rampant, many people may say that ARB is outdated and speculate on new products rather than old products. In fact, this is not the case. Looking at all Ethereum L2, ARB is the one who works hardest. While continuously optimizing the network, it also focuses on ecological construction, which is in sharp contrast with those ghost chains.
It is said that Arb will have many big moves in 2025, and you can make plans in advance while there is no one FOMO. After all, opportunities are always left to those who are prepared. Share two trends/trends that I think are very important for reference:
**1. The main network implements the BoLD protocol to achieve
"licenseless verification"**
A few days ago, the BoLD protocol was officially activated on the Arbitrum One and Nova chains, allowing for "licensing-free verification" on its Layer 2 ecosystem, thereby improving the decentralization and security of the network.
Briefly understand, the original verification process adopts a licensing system, the entire process is very complex, sacrifices decentralization to a certain extent, and there is a risk of delayed attacks. The BoLD protocol is improved by introducing an interactive, time-limited dispute resolution mechanism, and adopts The permissionless mechanism is open to anyone interested in cybersecurity.
In other words, the launch of BoLD has made the Arbitrum ecosystem safer and more decentralized than ever before, and at the same time, it also helped Arbitrum realize four of the five conditions for decentralization of Stage 2, which is closest to Stage 2 among all Ethereum L2 chains. The goal of centralization.
2. Focus on the AI track and build the "DeFAI Home"
In the past two months, DeepSeek has been popular, and the global AI industry has been in full swing, which is the biggest trend in 2025. This also makes the industry full of expectations for AI×Crypto.
Arb official has obviously realized this wave of opportunities and has been making frequent efforts in the AI ecosystem in recent months. For example, spending $1 million to launch the Trailblazer program, specifically to fund AI builders on Arbitrum: https://arbitrumfoundation.medium.com/ trailblazer-1m-grants-to-power-ai-innovation-on-arbitrum-c6de1200e656
In addition, the official also organized AI theme Space, sorted out Arbitrum ecological AI collection, and even bluntly said "Arbitrum=DeFAI Home". Anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that Arb's highlight this year is in the AI track.
Key reminder, AI projects that have obtained official endorsement and have not issued coins include Axal, Capx, Aikaverse, Lit, Spheron, and Skynet. Spheron has a whitelist, CapX is running an incentive test network, and Skynet may also launch incentives soon. Sex test network.
