Gas costs can be covered
Arbitrum (ARB), the L2 solution for the crypto asset (virtual currency) Ethereum (ETH), announced on the 5th that it has launched a feature that allows Orbit Chain, which operates in the ecosystem, to use its own gas token.
With the implementation of this feature, each Orbit chain can now use ERC-20 tokens other than Ethereum for transaction fees. This also makes it possible to create your own economic zone.

What is L2?
Abbreviation for “Layer 2”, which refers to the “second layer” network. If all transactions are processed on the main chain, the load will be heavy, leading to a decrease in processing speed and a rise in network fees. By performing some transactions on L2, it is expected that the load on the main chain will be reduced and processing speed will be improved.

Orbit Chain is a blockchain that each project builds according to its own needs. This blockchain will operate as an L3 chain in the Arbitrum ecosystem.
According to the announcement, being able to customize Gas Tokens is a feature most requested by the Orbit Chain ecosystem. Until now, Orbit Chain only allowed Ethereum to be used to pay transaction fees.
Case Study
The announcement states that projects such as gaming chain Xai are already taking advantage of this feature.

The co-founder of “Ex Populus”, which develops games on Xai, commented to “The Block” as follows.
By utilizing this feature, it will be possible to shoulder the transaction fees of users, lowering the barrier to entry for users.
We believe that the reason why Web3 games have not become more popular is because traditional users are not entering the game.

According to The Block, in addition to Arbitrum’s announcement, modular blockchain Celestia and others will also implement this feature.
