We build on Arbitrum — the leading Ethereum L2 by TVL. DeFi protocols, trading platforms, and custom dApps with Ethereum security and L2 performance.
Arbitrum has emerged as the dominant Ethereum Layer 2 by total value locked, hosting some of the most innovative DeFi protocols in the ecosystem. Its optimistic rollup architecture provides Ethereum-equivalent security with significantly lower gas costs and higher throughput. Arthiq builds production applications on Arbitrum that leverage these advantages.
Arbitrum's success comes from its developer experience — full EVM compatibility means existing Solidity contracts deploy without modification, while Arbitrum-specific features like Stylus (which enables Rust and C++ smart contracts) open new possibilities for performance-critical applications. Our team stays at the forefront of Arbitrum's evolving capabilities.
Whether you are building the next DeFi primitive, deploying a perpetual futures exchange, or creating a consumer dApp that needs low fees with Ethereum-backed security, Arthiq delivers Arbitrum applications with the quality and reliability that production deployments demand.
Arbitrum has become the home of DeFi innovation, hosting protocols like GMX, Camelot, and Radiant that have pioneered new financial primitives. The combination of low fees and Ethereum composability creates fertile ground for DeFi experimentation. We build DeFi protocols that take advantage of this environment.
Our Arbitrum DeFi work includes perpetual futures platforms with on-chain order books, real yield protocols that distribute actual protocol revenue to token holders, concentrated liquidity AMMs with custom fee tiers, and lending protocols optimized for the specific collateral profiles available on Arbitrum.
We also integrate with Arbitrum's native DeFi ecosystem, building composable protocols that leverage existing liquidity on GMX, Uniswap V3, and other established platforms. This composability approach accelerates time-to-market and provides immediate utility for your users.
While Arbitrum is EVM-compatible, optimizing for Arbitrum requires understanding its unique gas pricing model. On Arbitrum, L2 execution gas is cheap, but L1 calldata costs dominate transaction fees. This means optimization strategies focus on minimizing the calldata footprint rather than reducing computation.
We apply Arbitrum-specific optimizations including calldata compression, efficient ABI encoding, batch transaction patterns, and state channel designs that reduce L1 data posting. These techniques can significantly reduce transaction costs for your users compared to naive EVM deployment.
For applications using Arbitrum Nova, which is optimized for high-frequency, low-value transactions, we apply even more aggressive optimization for gaming and social applications. We also monitor Arbitrum's evolving fee market and adjust our optimization strategies as the network upgrades its data availability approach.
Arbitrum Stylus enables smart contract development in Rust, C, and C++ alongside traditional Solidity. This opens the door to performance-critical applications that benefit from Rust's zero-cost abstractions and memory safety while running on an EVM-compatible chain with Ethereum security.
Our team's expertise in both Solidity and Rust positions us uniquely for Stylus development. We can build hybrid applications where core logic runs in Rust for maximum performance while maintaining Solidity contracts for standard DeFi composability. This multi-language approach is ideal for applications like on-chain matching engines, compute-intensive financial models, and high-throughput gaming logic.
As Stylus adoption grows, we expect it to become a significant differentiator for Arbitrum. Our early experience with the technology gives our clients a head start in building the next generation of high-performance on-chain applications.
Deploying on Arbitrum follows familiar EVM patterns with some important distinctions. We handle bridge integration for moving assets between Ethereum mainnet and Arbitrum, including the 7-day withdrawal period for optimistic rollups and fast withdrawal solutions through third-party bridges.
Our deployment process includes testnet validation on Arbitrum Sepolia, gas estimation calibrated for Arbitrum's fee model, contract verification on Arbiscan, and monitoring setup for both L2 execution and L1 data posting. We configure multisig ownership through Safe on Arbitrum for secure contract administration.
Arthiq provides ongoing development support for Arbitrum applications, including contract upgrades, new feature development, and integration with new ecosystem protocols. Our Singapore-based team is available for long-term partnerships. Contact founders@arthiq.co to discuss building on Arbitrum.
We build high-performance applications on Ethereum's leading L2. From DeFi to Stylus-powered innovation, Arbitrum is where we deliver.
