What's new

Launches, new assets, bridge routes and developer tools. Every item links to where you can check it.

AssetsStock tracker prices around the clock

Stock and ETF tracker prices now update outside the US session too. 195 of 221 tickers move after hours and at weekends: 133 from equity perpetual markets (Binance, Hyperliquid HIP-3, Bitget, Gate, MEXC, Bybit, OKX) and Robinhood extended hours, 40 from a same-index or same-sector reference (for example GOOG from GOOGL, IVV from SPY, ITUB from EWZ) and 22 ADRs from their home listing times the FX rate. The other 26 keep their last close until the US session opens. Every off-hours price passes a volume floor, a spread filter and a maximum move from the last close; if a source fails, the token keeps its last US close until a valid source returns or the US session opens.

ProductPortfolio

Balances, Earn positions and recent activity of any wallet on chain 482120, read directly from the chain. Nothing to sign; the Swap page links to it once a wallet is connected.

TransparencyWhitepaper rules R6 and R7 match the Market page

Keeper and rebalancer trades are counted in on-chain trade and volume totals and are also reported on their own; user figures count only addresses outside the operator list. The PDF is updated and its new SHA-256 is on the whitepaper page.

TransparencyAbout, Brand and News pages

About sets out the principles behind the chain with live figures, Brand has the logo files, colors and type, and this page lists what is new.

ProductMarket page

Every asset on one table: oracle price, 1h and 24h change, pool depth, and every on-chain trade and its volume. The keeper wallets' share has its own column, and each asset shows its 24h volume on Binance or Hyperliquid with the source.

DevelopersDocs move to docs.btcw.tech

The developer documentation has its own site, with a new guide to deploying a contract with Foundry or Hardhat. Old links redirect.

DevelopersStandard infrastructure at the usual addresses

Permit2, EntryPoint v0.7 and Safe 1.3.0 are deployed through the standard CREATE2 deployer, at the same addresses as on Ethereum and other EVM chains.

ProductEarn page and staking for 20 tokens

TransparencyWhitepaper v0.2 and Proof of reserve

The whitepaper sets out the principle behind the chain, proof over promise. The reserve page reads WBTCw and USDC.e supply and the WBTC and USDC locked on Arbitrum One directly from both chains in your browser.

DevelopersToken list and ecosystem directory

tokenlist.json lists the 325 ERC-20 tokens of chain 482120 in the Uniswap Token Lists format; the ecosystem page lists the apps live on the chain with each contract's verification read from the explorer.
