Research 1 - RWA and Stablecoins in Arbitrum
Publication Date: 18/08
The first research piece explores the growing role of Real-World Assets (RWA) and stablecoins within the Arbitrum ecosystem, highlighting how these instruments contribute to liquidity, scalability, and adoption in Layer 2 (L2) solutions.
Despite fluctuations in the crypto market and broader L2 competition, Arbitrum has continued to solidify its position as a leading Ethereum scaling solution. Stablecoins, serving as a cornerstone for liquidity, enable seamless transactions, reducing friction and promoting sustained ecosystem activity. The article examines how Arbitrum’s infrastructure allows developers to integrate RWAs into decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, creating bridges between tangible financial assets and blockchain networks.
The report also delves into the technical and operational advantages of Arbitrum, such as robust developer tools, Orbit chains, and multiple grant programs. These elements collectively create an environment that encourages experimentation, product development, and community-driven growth. Real-world examples illustrate how projects leverage these features to enhance liquidity, improve user adoption, and expand the use cases of decentralized finance.
Arbitrum remains a strong contender in Ethereum’s Layer 2 ecosystem, not only maintaining high liquidity through stablecoins but also enabling meaningful innovation via RWAs. By fostering a bridge between traditional finance and decentralized infrastructure, Arbitrum demonstrates how scalable, secure L2 networks can sustainably grow while expanding both user and developer adoption.
Research 2 - The Arbitrum Triad: Orbit, Timeboost, and Stylus
Publication Date: 25/08
The second article provides a deep dive into Arbitrum’s interoperability and modularity, focusing on three critical components: Orbit, Timeboost, and Stylus. This research highlights how Arbitrum empowers developers and projects to customize, scale, and optimize applications across its Layer 2 ecosystem.
Orbit allows developers to create customized blockchains or appchains, offering full control over governance, transaction execution, and security mechanisms. This modular approach enables projects to design networks tailored to their specific needs, enhancing flexibility, scalability, and interoperability between chains. The research includes examples like ApeChain and Plume Network, which showcase how Orbit’s infrastructure supports NFTs, blockchain gaming, and tokenization of real-world assets.
Timeboost is explored as a tool for improving incentives, boosting engagement, and aligning user participation with project goals. By leveraging Timeboost, developers can optimize network adoption and user behavior, which is critical for sustainable growth in the L2 ecosystem.
Stylus, Arbitrum’s specialized scripting language for smart contract development, is highlighted as a key innovation that allows developers to build more complex, scalable, and efficient applications. Stylus enables advanced programmability, making it easier for builders to deploy projects with high technical requirements while maintaining the security and efficiency of the network.
Arbitrum’s triad of Orbit, Timeboost, and Stylus positions the network as a leader in scalable, interoperable, and developer-friendly L2 solutions. The research emphasizes that this combination of modular tools and infrastructure provides the foundation for future growth, enabling developers to build more diverse applications while addressing the scalability and interoperability challenges facing the blockchain industry. Arbitrum is shown as a platform that not only supports current L2 needs but also anticipates future demands of Web3 development.
Conclusion
The series of Modular House events, researches and Arbitrum workshops throughout 2025 clearly demonstrate the growing engagement and maturity of the Brazilian Web3 ecosystem. From Salvador to Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, these activities successfully connected local communities with global blockchain protocols, creating spaces for learning, collaboration, and practical application of Layer 2 technologies.
Across all three Modular House editions, Arbitrum was positioned not only as a technical leader in Ethereum scaling but also as a cultural and educational enabler, bridging gaming, creativity, and real-world finance with decentralized infrastructure. The integration of Stylus, Orbit Chains, and Timeboost, combined with high-quality workshops and research content, highlighted the versatility and scalability of the network, while offering actionable pathways for builders, developers, and community members.
The two Arbitrum workshops, State of Arbitrum and RWA in Arbitrum, reinforced the ecosystem’s potential by showcasing practical applications, innovative projects, and real-world case studies. Engagement from ecosystem leaders, Ambassadors, and projects like Rayls and Plume underscored the network’s commitment to fostering sustainable growth, both in Latin America and globally.
These initiatives were executed in close collaboration with the Arbitrum Foundation, including strategic promotion and support for the Arbitrum PT account. Modular Crypto helped amplify the Foundation’s messaging, highlight local activations, and engage Portuguese-speaking audiences, ensuring a cohesive narrative that connected global protocol objectives with regional ecosystem needs.
Social media activity, live attendance, and positive community feedback confirmed the strong resonance of these initiatives. The events not only expanded Arbitrum’s visibility and credibility in Brazil but also strengthened its narrative as a developer-friendly, community-driven and innovation-oriented.
Overall, Modular Crypto’s activities achieved our dual objective of educating local communities and building bridges with the global ecosystem, laying a solid foundation for continued growth, collaboration, and adoption. By combining education, networking, hands-on insights, and coordinated support with the Arbitrum Foundation, these events demonstrated that Arbitrum is not just a technological solution, it is a vibrant, evolving ecosystem that empowers builders, projects, and communities to thrive in the decentralized future.
