Build DApps using Stylus: Unlocking New Frontiers
Stylus is an upgrade to the Arbitrum Nitro tech stack, introducing a second, coequal virtual machine that executes WebAssembly (WASM) alongside the existing EVM. This allows smart contracts to be written in various programming languages that compile to WASM, such as Rust, C, and C++, enhancing developer flexibility and efficiency. Stylus smart contracts are significantly faster and cheaper than traditional EVM contracts, benefiting from lower gas fees and cheaper memory. Additionally, Stylus maintains full interoperability with Solidity contracts, enabling seamless interaction between EVM and WASM programs.
-
Rust Integration
Stylus leverages the familiar syntax and powerful features of Rust, bringing its speed and memory safety to the blockchain world.
-
WebAssembly (WASM) compilation
Your Rust code gets compiled into efficient WASM, resulting in faster execution and lower gas fees compared to traditional EVM contracts.
-
Interoperability
Seamlessly interact with existing Solidity contracts through Stylus's EVM compatibility layer, unlocking a hybrid development approach.
-
Secure by design
Rust's strong memory management and type system inherently mitigate common vulnerabilities, enhancing contract security.
