Offchain Labs, the company behind the development of the Ethereum layer 2 network Arbitrum, is advancing the BOLD dispute resolution protocol deployed in their test environment.

Developers highlighted BOLD's resilience to delay attacks, eliminating the need for permissioned validators for Arbitrum One and Nova.

Plans include thorough testing and auditing before deployment on Arbitrum Sepolia by the end of spring. After DAO approval, the solution may go live on the mainnet "sometime in the summer of 2024," developers believe.

"These dates are preliminary and will depend on a number of factors, including voting results and auditing," emphasized Offchain Labs.

In March, Arbitrum developers activated the ArbOS update, also known as Atlas. The upgrade added support for BLOB transactions, aimed at reducing the cost of data transfer from L2 to the Ethereum mainnet.
