A recently released tool for Arbitrum developers could onboard more devs to Ethereum Virtual Machines<\/a> (EVM) and improve its code, says Offchain Labs co-founder Ed Felten.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Cointelegraph at Korea Blockchain Week, Felten lauded Arbitrum Stylus, which Offchain released on a testnet on Aug. 31, allowing developers to use languages including Rust, C, and C++ to build Arbitrum apps.<\/p>\n

Felten said Stylus would allow non-Web3 native devs to \u201cuse the languages and the development tools that they’re used to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today is Arbitrum Day<\/p>\n

Last year we took one giant leap with the launch of Arbitrum Nitro.<\/p>\n

Today we\u2019re excited to announce that we are taking another big leap with the release of the code and public testnet for Arbitrum Stylus. https:\/\/t.co\/NaxOuir5WH<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Offchain Labs (@OffchainLabs) August 31, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He added it would onboard \u201ca lot more developers\u201d to building EVMs with more mature tools and cited the larger number of devs that program in Rust over Solidity<\/a> \u2014 the latter being the programming language for building Ethereum smart contracts.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the things that comes from those much more mature tools is it’s much faster. So it’s 10 to 15 times faster for typical computations than EVM.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to Felten, the benefit of supporting legacy languages is the amount of code that already exists written in languages such as Rust which is already \u201cbattle-tested and audited.\u201d<\/p>\n

Felten identified Rust as a language that was designed to help catch development errors, with its tools being \u201creally good at reducing the odds that you’ll introduce a bug in your code.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can just use it. Now you can use that directly on-chain. You’re gonna build less from scratch and you’re gonna be able to take better advantage of things that other people have done.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Felten also highlighted the gas cost was 10 to 15 times lower, which allows for \u201cmore complex stuff [to be] done in the same transaction\u201d and opens up the possibility of being able to perform iPhone-compatible cryptography.<\/p>\n

Felten explained that iPhones use a different digital signature standard than Ethereum, which is not supported well, so \u201ccryptography on Ethereum that\u2019s compatible with the iPhone has an extremely high gas cost.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut in Stylus, you can drive that down so it becomes really feasible. It\u2019s not prohibitively expensive.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This could give way to having a crypto wallet integrated on an iPhone \u2014 unlocking the ability to use Apple\u2019s FaceID to verify wallet transactions similar to bank card purchases.<\/p>\n

Other use cases Felten saw with the lower gas fees were higher levels of realism in blockchain-based games and the on-chain evaluation of machine learning models against live application data.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, Felten thought Stylus could help burgeoning projects ship faster as allowing for mature programming languages means they may be better protected against bugs, and errors along with having extra performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don’t have to squeeze out every last tiny bit of performance in your code and that also reduces a lot of friction for developing protocols.\u201d<\/p>\n
