Offchain Labs Co-Founder: Arbitrum's Decisions Have Been Questioned, and the Industry Is Aligning in Its Direction

Comparing news, Offchain Labs co-founder Steven Goldfeder tweeted that Arbitrum has always been ahead of the times in many ways. The team strongly advocated interactive proof design (controversial at the time, now an optimistic Rollup standard); chose to establish a business when the business model was still highly controversial; focused on DeFi when most people didn't understand perpetual contracts and many people abandoned DeFi; and launched a dedicated blockchain when the industry generally thought no more chains were needed.

Every time they have faced a rebound, but now the industry is aligning themselves in the direction they started from day one: building a robust and high-performance financial infrastructure. Goldfeder is proud that the Offchain team delivered world-class products extremely quickly, and said they will continue to deliver, even if most people don't currently understand the need, and the industry will soon understand.
