We view this step as progress toward the expansion of the DAO and the Arbitrum Network. Allowing orbit chains to deploy on multiple networks could increase the number of deployments which subsequently increases the DAO’s revenue. We can leverage our tech stack to achieve greater contributions outside of Ethereum. This could also bring an advantage of Arbitrum’s horizontal scaling solution against its competitors. Currently, there are 4 horizontal L3 ecosystems, the Superchain (Optimism), Hyperchain (zkSync), AggLayer (Polygon), and Arbitrum’s Orbit chains. If we want to get ahead of those already building L3 ecosystems, we need to take additional risks, and one might be allowing orbit chains to branch outside the Ethereum L1. Arbitrum already hosts a large number of orbit chains, currently standing at around 50-53 orbit chains in development/launched. This puts Arbitrum ahead of zkSync and Polygon in terms of acquisition, but behind Optimism. We can allow for greater ecosystem development if we open the horizon.
