What started as an academic idea in a Princeton lab is now @Ethereum’s scaling superstar @Arbitrum’s story, from Felten’s 2014 brainstorming, to a 2018 prototype, to a live network in 2025 that’s become critical infrastructure, shows how innovation moves from lab bench to mainstream adoption. To @apecoin launching its apechain on it and then $ANIME chain. And the founders are still driving it forward: Felten, Goldfeder, and Kalodner remain deeply involved, now alongside a growing team and community With major upgrades on the horizon and Layer-2 competition heating up, Arbitrum is poised to keep evolving. One thing’s for sure: this super-scaler network has come a long way, and it’s not slowing down any time soon (9/9)
