Creating your own blockchain isn't rocket science anymore. Arbitrum Orbit has become the go-to solution for builders looking to spin up custom L3s. The appeal? You get complete sovereignty—control over gas tokens, governance rules, even privacy settings. Think tokenized stocks on Robinhood or other institutional-grade applications; this infrastructure is exactly what those platforms need to scale. What used to be pure fantasy for developers is now within reach. Custom L3 chains aren't just developer dreams anymore—they're live infrastructure.

To be honest, Arbitrum Orbit really lowers the threshold, but there are still few developers who can truly innovate. Isn't this just modular storytelling with a different skin? It doesn't feel particularly special. Is anyone really using L3, or has it become another "idealistic concept"? Lower gas fees are the key; everything else is just empty talk. Custom chains sound great, but who will bear the operational costs? This part hasn't been clarified. To put it bluntly, it still depends on the ecosystem; a chain without applications is useless no matter how cheap it is. Hey, isn't this the real web3? What were those previous concepts? I just want to see when big companies like Robinhood will actually use it; otherwise, it's all just a concept.

Honestly, Orbit does lower the barrier to entry, but how many can actually use it? Arbitrum is hyping up L3 again, it feels like there's a new concept every month. Custom chains sound great, but who will handle the gas fees and ecosystem? Institutional-grade applications? I haven't seen any killer app yet. Complete autonomy sounds comfortable, but you have to bear the troubles yourself. Here we go again, within reach... When was the last time I heard that? A few days ago, someone asked me how Orbit is doing, and I was just as stunned. It's a gimmick, but how many reliable project teams are there? The L3 ecosystem is still too cold, I like it but I'm not optimistic. Is it really different this time? I'm choosing to wait and see. Orbit is hot, but will it become a tool for big players to cut the leeks again? The more autonomy, the more responsibility. Can small teams hold up?

To be honest, Orbit really allows small teams to get started, but there are only a few applications that are truly usable...

Honestly, Orbit really lowers the barrier quite a bit, but only a few teams can really come up with innovative ideas. Do those institutions really use this? It still feels mostly like a gimmick. L3s are everywhere; will they eventually all become trash chains? Arbitrum's move is indeed clever, raising the ceiling of the ecosystem. It feels like this is a tool tailored for big corporations; small developers still have to rely on luck. With so many custom chains launching, has gas fee optimization really reached its limit?
