Offchain Labs, the developers of Ethereum layer-2 network Arbitrum, have announced a partnership with the Arbitrum Foundation to launch a new incubator-style program called Onchain Labs. This initiative aims to enhance the existing decentralized application (DApp) offerings by supporting innovative and experimental projects. Offchain Labs will primarily provide product and go-to-market advice, without offering engineering resources. The firm emphasizes a commitment to equitable launches and aims to counter the trend of zero-sum crypto projects, asserting that the industry can foster community alignment where all participants can succeed together. Despite the growth of layer 2 networks increasing competition and causing issues for Ethereum, Arbitrum continues to focus on building its application landscape, which it believes will lead to industry-leading applications. The launch is seen as essential for maintaining alignment with the core ethos of the crypto space, which emphasizes collaboration over competition.
