Welcome to Stylus Saturdays!
Welcome to a weekly letter highlighting project developments in the Arbitrum Stylus ecosystem!
Welcome everyone to a weekly letter covering the developments in the Stylus ecosystem!
Each week we will focus on a specific project and what they’re building, and share updates from the various teams building with Stylus.
Arbitrum Stylus is a fantastic new technology for building on the EVM: WASM-powered smart contracts that are orders of magnitude cheaper and more expressive than their Solidity counterparts. This means a hugely cheaper, safer, and more accessible Arbitrum for everyone! Stylus contracts are compatible with the EVM day 1: that also means no friction with the existing ecosystem.
You can learn more about Stylus here: Arbitrum Stylus site
At Superposition, we’re super excited to be building with this platform and technology, and we want to share with the world this emerging ecosystem. Superposition is building the first defi-native chain that pays you to use it!
Week 1: Renegade
Renegade is a decentralised DEX powered by MPC (multi-party computation) and ZKP (zero knowledge proof) cryptography. The platform supports trading in full anonymity with zero slippage, price impact, or MEV.
Renegade is also one of the first teams building on Stylus to open source their codebase at https://github.com/renegade-fi/renegade and https://github.com/renegade-fi/renegade-contracts. Their code is really impressive!
They also had an audit completed on their infrastructure code a few weeks ago by ZKSecurity: https://github.com/renegade-fi/renegade/blob/main/audits/zksecurity.pdf
After running a multi-party computation (MPC) to match private trades, the resulting zero-knowledge proofs are transmitted to Arbitrum for settlement with a ZKP verifier written in Stylus. Anyone can run a node to participate in matching trades to be submitted on-chain!
You can try their testnet at https://trade.renegade.fi/.

Project updates
Renegade just announced a launch on Arbitrum One mainnet on September the 3rd! https://x.com/renegade_fi/status/1824647861503504722

Congratulations to the team for this major accomplishment!
And that’s it for this week!
If your project has any updates you’d like to share, or you would like to request that we monitor your project’s developments to include you in the weekly newsletter, please reach out to @baygeeth on X!
