Arbitrum Pauses New Stylus Activations in Emergency Security Action

  • —Pause applies only to activation of new and expired Stylus contracts
  • —Already-active contracts keep running until expiry, 365 days by default
  • —Activation blocked via prohibitively high gas requirement, no ArbOS upgrade needed
  • —Solidity and EVM contracts unaffected; no timeline for reopening activations
Why it matters: The freeze limits Rust/WASM developers on Arbitrum but poses no risk to user funds or chain operations.
