Arbitrum has launched an expansion plan and a developer guild to support the creation of custom chains.

BlockBeats reported on January 19th that the Arbitrum Foundation, in conjunction with Offchain Labs, announced the launch of a new Arbitrum extension program and an Arbitrum developer guild. This program will provide teams interested in launching projects on the Arbitrum technology chain with a more convenient self-service path, enabling them to join the extension program and launch custom Arbitrum Orbit chains. This means that any project can deploy its own customized version of the Arbitrum technology stack. The feature of Arbitrum Orbit is that these chains will have full control over their own governance, without the need for outsourced governance or sharing governance with other chains and ecosystems. Through this program, teams can customize and innovate freely. In addition, the two main requirements for participating in the Arbitrum extension program are that participants need to give back a portion of their profits to the Arbitrum ecosystem, and the deployed Rollup must exclusively rely on Ethereum or a chain secured by Ethereum. The Arbitrum Developer Guild is a new initiative designed to help fund core Arbitrum development and attract the best development teams to contribute to the Arbitrum technology stack. The implementation of this program is expected to further strengthen the Ethereum ecosystem, making Arbitrum's advanced technology available to any team that wishes to launch L2 or L3 in the Ethereum ecosystem.
