Public testnet for Arbitrum Stylus has started

allowing developers to use both traditional EVM tools and WASM-compatible languages like Rust, C, and C++ to build applications on Arbitrum Nitro chains. In addition, by improving computational, storage, and memory efficiency, Stylus dramatically lowers gas costs and enables new resource-intensive blockchain use cases like alternative signature schemes, larger generative art libraries, C++ based gaming, and compute-heavy AI models that were previously impractical. The open source SDK is available now, and we’ll be holding a Stylus Hackathon with $20,000 in bounties at ETHGlobal NY.
