Cracking the Code: How Velora Epochs Distribute Rewards and Refunds
Velora’s Epochs are more than just a date on the governance calendar, they are the engine room of the protocol’s incentive system.Every four weeks, the DAO turns on a finely tuned mechanism that channels protocol fees back to the community, rewarding commitment, contribution, and activity. Built and maintained by WakeUp Labs, this system leverages PSP 2.0’s Social Escrow model and the automation upgrades introduced in PIP-55 to run with precision, transparency, and minimal manual intervention...
Stylus in 2025 & the First DevConnect Stylus Gathering
Throughout 2025, Arbitrum Stylus world growth y Toward the end of the year, we had our first stylus oriented gathering where several speakers presented the projects they’ve been building. It turned out to be a great meetup that brought together most of the builders in the ecosystem. We’re glad it happened, and we’re excited to keep moving forward on this path, making smart contracts faster, more performant and more efficient, while opening the door for more developers to use these tools.
Membership Verification and Identity Standards for Optimism’s ZK Toolkit
These two milestones highlight our progress in enabling seamless membership verification on the testnet and integrating the W3C Decentralized Identifier (DID) standard into our solution as part of the Optimism mission: ZK Toolkit for ZK Application Developers. Together, these advancements establish a solid foundation for scalable and interoperable decentralized identity management.Basic Membership Verification on TestnetTo make decentralized membership verification accessible, we built a foun...

We have been selected to develop a new project for the Arbitrum ecosystem: integrating AssemblyScript into the Stylus SDK. This initiative will expand the Stylus SDK’s capabilities, empowering developers to write high-performance smart contracts in a TypeScript-based language.

The Stylus SDK currently supports high-performance smart contract development using Rust and WebAssembly. By adding AssemblyScript — a TypeScript-based language — we aim to make blockchain development more accessible to a broader audience while maintaining the high performance that Stylus provides.
This integration is designed to benefit developers familiar with JavaScript, TypeScript, and other script-based languages by offering tools that lower the steep learning curve of blockchain programming, while leveraging the performance achieved through Stylus..
This solution enhances interoperability and empowers the AssemblyScript (and script-like) developer community to adopt Stylus SDK for blockchain applications, driving broader Web3 innovation.
With AssemblyScript’s performance advantages and its manageable level of abstraction, our goal is to ensure developers can efficiently replicate over 90% of the Stylus SDK’s existing features. This strengthens the Arbitrum ecosystem by making blockchain development more accessible without compromising on performance or functionality.
WakeUp Labs has committed to delivering this project within 6–9 months. Key milestones include technical research, SDK architecture design, and iterative development, all documented and transparently shared with the community through the Arbitrum DAO forum.
KPIs such as SDK performance, user adoption metrics, and security standards will be monitored throughout the project to ensure alignment with the Arbitrum community’s needs.
You can also read the full announcement where WakeUp Labs is listed as one of the accepted applications here.
Stay tuned as we advance through milestones, unlocking new opportunities for developers and supporting the growth of the Arbitrum ecosystem.
