Arbitrum Nova is a gaming-optimized Layer 2 using AnyTrust technology for ultra-low transaction fees and high throughput. While Arbitrum One focuses on DeFi with full rollup security, Nova sacrifices minimal security for massive cost reduction, making it ideal for gaming, social applications, and high-frequency interactions. AnyTrust uses a Data Availability Committee (DAC) instead of posting all data on-chain, enabling fees ~90% lower than standard rollups.

Access gaming-optimized L2
An Arbitrum Nova RPC node provides applications with access to a gaming-optimized Layer 2 designed for ultra-low fees through AnyTrust technology. Nova enables applications requiring high-frequency interactions — games, social platforms, NFT trading — where transaction costs would be prohibitive on other chains. This makes blockchain gaming economically viable.
Blockchain gaming requires thousands of micro-transactions: character actions, item trades, loot drops, PvP interactions. At $0.10-1.00 per transaction, gaming doesn't work. Nova's ultra-low fees (~$0.001 or less) enable the high-frequency interactions gaming demands. This opens blockchain gaming to mainstream adoption.
Arbitrum Nova advantages:
AnyTrust is Arbitrum's optimization for applications prioritizing cost over maximum decentralization. Instead of posting all transaction data on Ethereum (expensive), AnyTrust uses a Data Availability Committee (DAC) — trusted entities that store data off-chain. If the DAC fails, the chain falls back to rollup mode, maintaining security.
How AnyTrust works:
Nova hosts major gaming projects and social platforms leveraging ultra-low fees. Games can implement on-chain item trading, character progression, loot systems, and PvP battles without prohibitive costs. Social platforms can enable tipping, content monetization, and micro-interactions. This is infrastructure for mainstream Web3 adoption.
While Arbitrum One serves DeFi, Nova enables consumer applications.
Quick start for developers
Arbitrum Nova supports all standard Ethereum JSON-RPC methods:
const { ethers } = require('ethers');
const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider('https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/arbitrum-nova/YOUR_API_KEY');
// Verify we're on Arbitrum Nova
const network = await provider.getNetwork();
console.log('Chain ID:', network.chainId); // 42170
// Get ETH balance
const balance = await provider.getBalance('0x...');
console.log('ETH Balance:', ethers.formatEther(balance));
// Deploy gaming contract with ultra-low fees
const GAME_CONTRACT = '0x...';
const gameABI = [
'function performAction(uint256 characterId, uint8 action) external',
'function claimLoot(uint256 questId) external',
'function getCharacterStats(uint256 characterId) view returns (tuple(uint256 level, uint256 xp, uint256[] items))'
];
const game = new ethers.Contract(GAME_CONTRACT, gameABI, wallet);
// High-frequency gaming interactions at pennies
const tx = await game.performAction(characterId, ACTION_ATTACK);
await tx.wait();
console.log('Gaming action executed for ~$0.001!');from web3 import Web3

# Ultra-low gas for gaming

# Get ETH balance

# Estimate cost for gaming transaction

const provider = new ethers.WebSocketProvider('wss://rpc.crypto-chief.com/arbitrum-nova/ws/YOUR_API_KEY');
// Monitor blocks
provider.on('block', async (blockNumber) => {
const block = await provider.getBlock(blockNumber);
console.log(`Nova block ${blockNumber}: ${block.transactions.length} txs`);
});
// Monitor game events
