We are proud to announce that t3rn, the multi-chain platform dedicated to enhancing the interoperability and flexibility of smart contracts across diverse blockchain ecosystems, has received a strategic grant from the Arbitrum Foundation. This grant underscores our commitment to optimizing cross-chain operations for greater reliability and user trust.

The t3rn protocol operates by deploying attestors, off-chain entities that secure and validate cross-chain transactions. These attestors ensure the integrity of operations, treating multi-blockchain executions as atomic actions. This is crucial for achieving seamless and secure transactions across different blockchain environments, thus enabling businesses and developers to fully leverage decentralized technologies.

How t3rn’s Arbitrum Grant will be used

The grant funding will be instrumental in deploying these attestors on Arbitrum Orbit L3, a move poised to enhance the capabilities of the t3rn protocol. By leveraging Arbitrum Orbit L3's advanced features, we aim to increase the degree of decentralization and enhance the security framework of our cross-chain transactions. This deployment is expected to catalyze increased adoption and trust in cross-chain functionalities by mitigating risks and ensuring transactional integrity.

Deploying on Arbitrum can involve operational costs, due to gas fees required for processing and verifying transactions. The support from the Arbitrum Foundation will directly alleviate this, helping the costs of deploying attestor contracts and managing the associated gas fees. This support ensures that our technological advancements are sustainable and continue to evolve without financial constraints.

The t3rn proposal, supported by the Arbitrum Foundation, sets forth a structured plan divided into three milestones. The first milestone focuses on the successful deployment of attestors and their integration with the t3rn protocol, aiming to achieve a significant number of high-value cross-chain transactions soon after the deployment. The subsequent milestones aim to further scale these operations, drastically increasing transaction numbers and user engagement, ultimately leading to enhanced growth and a more robust user base.

Monitoring Progress

To ensure transparency and accountability, progress across these milestones will be meticulously monitored using a custom-designed Dune dashboard, meeting the exacting standards of the Arbitrum Foundation. This not only demonstrates our commitment to operational excellence but also ensures that all stakeholders are aligned and informed throughout the process.

This grant is a testament to the potential and importance of cross-chain solutions in the broader blockchain ecosystem. By enhancing our infrastructure on Arbitrum Orbit L3, t3rn is set to offer more dynamic, efficient, and secure blockchain interactions, paving the way for a future where blockchain's promise of decentralization and security is fully realized across multiple platforms.

We are grateful to the Arbitrum Foundation for their belief in our vision and commitment. This partnership marks a significant milestone in our journey towards creating a more interconnected and efficient blockchain landscape.
