[FINAL REPORT] Arbitrum Native Precompile & Tx-Type Support for Local Testing

Project Summary

We delivered practical local-dev support for Arbitrum precompiles (ArbSys, ArbGasInfo) so teams can exercise Arbitrum-specific logic in Hardhat and Foundry without bouncing to testnets. Across Milestones 1–5 we stood up the public repo and probes, implemented the core local approach, added a validation harness with example ERC-20/721 flows, launched public docs and onboarding, and ran a support window with fixes, compatibility tracking, and a real-world demo dapp that uses these precompiles in production-style workflows.

Conclusion

Milestones 1–5 delivered the intended outcome: fast, reproducible local workflows for Arbitrum precompiles with clear docs, validation, and a real-world demo. We’ll keep maintaining the repo, tracking toolchain changes, and helping teams adopt the patches through public updates and community support.
