Blast provides high-performance APIs for Arbitrum Nova, a network that is tailored to facilitate dApps with high throughput, particularly those centered around gaming.
Arbitrum Nova stands as a compelling Layer 2 solution within the Arbitrum ecosystem, designed for high-performance blockchain applications. Unlike Arbitrum One, Arbitrum Nova embraces the mostly trustless AnyTrust protocol.
This unique approach introduces a mild trust assumption via a data availability committee (DAC), expediting data processing and enabling heightened performance and affordability. While Arbitrum One prioritizes pure trustlessness, Arbitrum Nova excels in scenarios demanding enhanced transaction throughput without sacrificing essential decentralization.
Arbitrum Nova harnesses the power of the Nitro technology stack, renowned for its efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Nitro offers advanced calldata compression, separate contexts for common execution and fault proving, Ethereum L1 gas compatibility, and more.
Arbitrum Nova's focus on performance, affordability, and flexibility in trust assumptions opens doors for developers to explore innovative blockchain applications. By understanding its distinct characteristics and technology stacks, developers can make informed choices that align with their project requirements and objectives.
