Arbitrum launches Stylus V2 on testnet

Offchain Labs has launched Arbitrum Stylus V2 on the Arbitrum Sepolia testnet. The upgraded V2 version features reduced gas fees, smaller contract sizes, improved tool support, and new system operations. It includes support for transient storage and enhances security by limiting the types of activatable WASM programs.

Stylus is a multifunctional programming environment that allows developers to create applications and smart contracts using WASM. It supports advanced programming languages such as Rust, C, and C++. Stylus V2 includes a bridge, an RPC, and a block resource manager, allowing developers to simulate their applications in a production-like environment.
