Request to Increase the Stylus Sprint Committee’s Budget

Stylus is Arbitrum’s most significant differentiator in the competitive L2 landscape, and investing in its ecosystem is critical for maintaining our leadership in the space. By enabling developers to build with Rust, C, and other languages alongside Solidity, Stylus lowers the barrier to entry and makes Arbitrum far more accessible to a broader range of developers.

Beyond accessibility, Stylus unlocks the potential for more advanced applications and significantly improves execution efficiency. These are the kinds of innovations that will drive meaningful adoption and reinforce Arbitrum’s position as the most technically advanced and developer-friendly L2.

Given the importance of Stylus, I fully support expanding the sprint committee’s budget to ensure high-potential initiatives receive the funding they need. Supporting developer tooling and ecosystem growth around Stylus is a high-impact investment that will strengthen Arbitrum’s long-term competitive advantage.
