Stylus contracts are getting a 96 KB code size limit. That is four times what a Solidity contract gets, and four times what Stylus allows today. The DAO approved ArbOS 61 Elara, which builds on
Reading one account onchain can cost seven or eight separate lookups on disk. Writing one rewrites a whole chain of records leading back to a single hash. That is fundamental to the core path of each
I hit this last week while working inside my own OpenClaw workspace: the agent had access to the...
I keep coming back to the same onboarding question: what happens in the first 10 minutes? For agent...
I built a @RobinhoodApp Chain fully functioning demo app around a stock index basket for a reason. Deploying Solidity with Foundry, reading with viem, and writing with wagmi is the path you already
General Magic nearly built the smartphone in the early 1990s, and that is what makes the story so useful. The lesson is not that they lacked imagination. It is that imagination without constraint
You already made the hard bet: Rust, explicit accounts, serious state design, and performance-sensitive programs. StylusPort exists because that work should not be trapped on one runtime. If you are
When you call an AI API, you are trusting the provider on faith. You ask for GPT 5.5, you get billed for GPT 5.5, and you have no way to check what actually ran on the GPU. Token counts and output
tl;dr I built an end-to-end x402 demo on Arbitrum One using AWS CloudFront + Lambda@Edge on the provider side and the CDP facilitator for settlement. The repo is at github.com/hummusonrails/arbitru...
tl;dr Agentic payments are not a nice to have anymore, they are becoming a requirement. Arbitrum provides the execution layer to make this reliable and performant. x402 is just the beginning of what
Your API takes inputs and returns outputs. The logic in between? Nobody outside your team can verify it. Regulators read the documentation you wrote about it. Partners call your endpoint and trust the
Anthropic just changed how fast your 5-hour session limits burn during peak hours. No warning. No opt-in. Just a tweet from Thariq and a wave of canceled subscriptions. One reply from
There's a moment after a siren when everything is quiet, and you're standing in a shelter with your family, and you realize you have absolutely no control over what happens next. The Iron Dome will
AI tools are changing how developers build Stylus contracts on Arbitrum, while Stylus enables new AI workloads onchain. Here's what builders should know.
You're thinking about applying to Arbitrum Open House. Maybe you've read about the evaluation criteria. Maybe you've seen all of our amazing community partners. But before you start filling out the
Most hackathon judging is a black box. You submit, you wait, you get a number. Maybe feedback, maybe not. Open House does it differently, and if you're applying, knowing the framework gives you an
You're building a hosting platform. Customers give you their Anthropic API key, their Telegram bot token, their Google OAuth credentials. They trust you to run an AI assistant on a VPS they'll never
An AI agent had its code rejected from a very popular open source repository this week. So it researched the maintainer's personal history, psychoanalyzed him as insecure and territorial, and
Most AI coding tutorials stop at "hello world." A counter app, a to-do list, maybe a smart contract that compiles but never connects to anything. The gap between that and a working dApp with a local
X gives you analytics after the fact. By then it's too late. Your post either worked or it didn't, and you're guessing why. I got tired of the guessing game. So I built something that tells me how a
Is learning to code dead in 2026? I started as a bootcamp grad in 2017. Months of Ruby and JavaScript, portfolio projects, and a lot of hope. That path worked. I got hired, learned on the job, and
If you've noticed that every argument feels personal now, you're not imagining it. Something has changed. Not just in politics or online discourse, but in how disagreement itself lands in your nervous
You're probably passing on your strongest applicants without realizing it. I've reviewed hundreds of tech resumes. The ones that get filtered out first are career switchers. Former teachers,
You've seen the tweets. "I built this app in 20 minutes with Claude." Screenshots of working products, built by people who swear they've never written a line of code. As an old-school developer who
tl;dr A full working x402 v2 implementation is available on GitHub, including a private inference demo and a reference facilitator. Clone them, run them, and use them as a base for your own ideas.
Docker Model Runner is a new feature that allows you to run, manage, and interact with AI models directly on your local machine. Forget about cloud setup hassles, expensive infrastructure, and latency. Now you can incorporate generative AI capabilities into your development workflow right from your machine.

Companies whose primary audience is developers will usually seek to build a developer relations team early on because they have heard they need one to be successful. Yet, they often go into the endeavor without a clear understanding of what that team is meant to do besides "going to events" and "speaking to developers".
A resilient testing suite for your application includes unit tests, integration tests, acceptance tests, and more. All those tests go a long way in ensuring the reliability of your application and providing confidence when you deploy code changes. But there’s another kind of testing that’s important to add to your suite if you haven’t already - simulating the behavior of your users.
Today we’re going to explore how to use Postman to navigate the New Relic GraphQL API, NerdGraph, and use it to explore your telemetry data, update your account, and a lot more. Postman provides a lot of support for building with APIs and with the recently released New Relic public API collection, you can leverage that support to supercharge your usage of our GraphQL API.
