I’m excited to share the latest episode of 𝕃𝟚𝕤 𝔻𝕖𝕔𝕠𝕕𝕖𝕕, featuring the legendary coinflipcanada 🫐, a core contributor to GMX 🫐! GMX is one of the earliest and most significant apps in the Arbitrum ecosystem 💙🧡 In this episode, we discuss: - Why GMX Chose Arbitrum Over Optimism: In the early days, building on Optimism was gated, while Arbitrum was decentralized and open to all builders from the beginning. - Arbitrum as a Builder-Led Ecosystem: The Arbitrum ecosystem is welcoming to new builders and developers, with ecosystem decision-making driven by those in the trenches. - GMX's Impact on Arbitrum's DeFi Landscape: GMX plays a significant role in Arbitrum’s DeFi-driven ecosystem. Interestingly, Coinflip notes that around half of the DeFi apps in Arbitrum are connected to or built on GMX in some capacity! - Community Engagement and Feedback: GMX's growth is largely fueled by community feedback and support, illustrated by initiatives like the GMX Blueberry Club (the pfp that Coinflip rocks in the podcast) Give it a listen and share your thoughts & comments below!🎙️

Regular DeFi UX vs Chain-Abstracted UX 26 clicks vs 6 clicks Here's the difference🧵 Goal: User wants to swap 10 USDT to WETH on Arbitrum, but only has 0.16 USDT on that chain. 🔹Regular DeFi UX: User has USDT split between Polygon and Optimism. User has to👇 1. Go to a bridge 2. Bridge USDT from Polygon → Arbitrum 3. Bridge more from OP → Arbitrum 4. Go back to the dApp 5. Finally swap → 26 clicks, minimum 3 mins, and that’s for a crypto-native. 🔹With Arcana Chain Abstraction SDK integrated: User has USDT across 5 chains (OP, Polygon, Avax, Arbitrum, Kaia). But this time👇 ✅ Unified Balance shown in-app ✅ USDT auto-routed from OP + Polygon + Arbitrum ✅ Swap happens instantly ✅ No bridging, no switching chains

The Arbitrum Gaming Ventures (AGV) has 215M ARB in their strategic capital approved by the Arbitrum DAO. AGV is deploying to what they think are "shots on goal" for crypto gaming while keeping quality over quantity in mind. I had the opportunity to exchange valuable insights with Ethan SY from AGV at the Arbitrum_jpn Gaming Night event. We talked everything from the current landscape of crypto gaming TO what does it actually take for crypto games to succeed. These insights are not something we can learn often, so I truly appreciate the opportunity. Shout out Andrew for setting this up. Gaming on Arbitrum looks good here ArbitrumPlay 🔵 Timestamps: 0:18 – Introduction 0:45 – Mission & Vision of Arbitrum Gaming Ventures 1:38 – How Top Apps Acquire, Retain & Monetize Users 2:00 – Why is Arbitrum being selective in this market and deploying slowly? What’s the thesis behind it? 3:00 – Why Arbitrum invested in Wildcard 4:12 – Why do so many games shut down? 5:04 – What is the grand vision for Arbitrum Gaming Ventures? 5:58 – What does Arbitrum Gaming look for when considering an investment? 7:59 – Bold prediction for crypto gaming in 2026
