Arbitrum, Ethereum's top layer 2, is spicing things up with the BoLD protocol! 🥳 This new system aims to make transaction delays a thing of the past by opening up validation to everyone, not just a select few. With unanimous support from the Arbitrum DAO, the vote wraps up on Jan. 24.

BoLD promises to resolve disputes in just 12.8 days, keeping bad actors at bay. While Arbitrum One goes permissionless, Arbitrum Nova sticks to its exclusive club but adds Infura to boost security. If all goes well, BoLD launches on Feb. 12. Stay tuned for a smoother ride on Arbitrum!
