Arbitrum Nova
A low-cost chain for games and social apps. Once an AnyTrust chain whose data was held by a committee, it has posted everything to Ethereum blobs since the end of August 2026.
Arbitrum Nova is Arbitrum’s sister chain, launched in 2022 for uses with many small transactions, such as games and social apps.
It first kept fees low with AnyTrust, in which a committee held the data instead of posting all of it to L1. Since the end of August 2026 it no longer uses the committee: all its data is posted to Ethereum blobs, which makes it an optimistic rollup.

How it looks in the city
It sits in the Arbitrum quarter east of downtown, drawn in blue tones. Vehicles on its roads are transactions per second, and the container trucks heading downtown are the data it posts to L1. It has no token of its own, so building height is computed from deposited assets (TVL) instead of market cap and drawn as a wide civic block.
