Arbitrum, a leading Ethereum scaling solution, is enhancing its ecosystem with significant integrations and developments. The platform recently announced a prize pool of up to $300,000 USDC to secure its position as a top Ethereum layer. Additionally, Arbitrum has launched the Arbitrum Orbit ecosystem, which now includes over 40 chains, and has introduced a new service provider to support teams looking to launch their own chains. Furthermore, the platform has integrated with Gateway's RaaS platform, allowing the launch of L2 solutions on top of Arbitrum. This integration is part of a broader trend where L2 solutions are increasingly being adopted to scale Ethereum usage.

LayerZero is now live on @MerlinLayer2, a Bitcoin L2 that offers ZK proofs and EVM-compatibility for efficiency and scalability. This integration enables connectivity between Merlin and 70 other networks. Developers can tap into core features on Merlin such as BRC-20/420s. https://t.co/CJ8fULY9Id
The Cosmos-based layer-1 blockchain @injective is integrating with @arbitrum's Orbit kit to plan out a layer-3 network, https://t.co/9pisPrNYQE
Who else wants to see @arbitrum added to the platform? https://t.co/EGXJPOVcwY
