Yes @cp0x , you are correct. This platform is not currently available. We believe that developing such a platform could be vital in visualizing the Arbitrum Orbit chain ecosystem and its growth. It would also provide significant visibility to ecosystem partners launching their chains on Orbit.

We do have a plan in place, but at this stage, we are presenting this as an idea. We want to understand how the forum feels about it, as we are very excited about this potential development.

Hi @Roberto-Carlitos

We appreciate your enthusiasm, but it seems there was a bit of confusion. This platform is not currently available for the Arbitrum Orbit chain. We are proposing this as an idea and would like to gather feedback from the forum on what they think about this approach and their views on the same. Thank you!

I think the forum also intrigued by the custom gas token feature in Arbitrum Orbit. It’s great that developers have more control over their token economics. While I would appreciate more detailed information on its implementation, the potential for customization is undeniably valuable. The interactive fraud proofs, advanced compression, and EVM+ compatibility via Stylus are robust security measures that contribute to a secure development environment. The Arbitrum Universe Explorer is an impressive tool, offering real-time insights into the Arbitrum Orbit Universe of Chains. Regulatory compliance make it an attractive option for institutional investors and ETF providers. The monetization strategies and volume drivers are well-thought-out, and I’m eager to observe their impact on the ecosystem. Scalability is another critical aspect of blockchain development, and Arbitrum’s approach to ensuring scalability for Orbit chains is commendable. The Nitro tech stack, customizable components, and continuous improvements demonstrate a commitment to meeting the evolving needs of developers. The Arbitrum Orbit Chain Ecosystem is thriving, with over 34 groups building Orbit chains across various industries. It’s inspiring to see projects like Parallel, Rari Chain, XAI, Kinto, and Syndr and more future Institution player leveraging Arbitrum Orbit’s customization and scalability to create unique solutions.

It’s worth noting that Orbit chains can be configured as Layer 2 (settling directly to Ethereum) or Layer 3 (settling to any Ethereum L2, such as Arbitrum One). This flexibility allows for different scalability approaches depending on the specific " so the Arbitrum Universe Explorer is gone leverage orbit chains.
