NodeOps Network Goes Live on Arbitrum with Big DePIN Ambitions

• NodeOps launches its permissionless, SLA-backed compute protocol live on Arbitrum after a successful testnet phase.
• NodeOps also expands with staking services, cross-chain integrations, and AI-powered orchestration for the DePIN ecosystem.

NodeOps has officially activated its mainnet on the Arbitrum network. This is not just a regular launch, but a major milestone for a decentralized computing system that is looking to truly scale. After a fairly smooth testnet trial, the protocol is now moving into production.

It is permissionless, ready to use by anyone, and guaranteed by an SLA—which means that if it fails, there is accountability. In a crypto ecosystem that often feels like it’s “just going through the motions,” this approach is bold.

NodeOps itself has big ambitions. They want to prove that verifiable computation directly on the blockchain is not just a technical discourse that is only suitable for discussion in developer forums. Now, anyone can test the performance of this system for production needs. Moreover, NodeOps is not the only project that has recently shown off on Arbitrum.

We set out to prove that decentralized, verifiable Compute can operate at scale. We delivered.

After a successful Testnet, NodeOps graduates to Mainnet with a permissionless, SLA-backed, production-grade Compute protocol.

From Cross-Chain Transfers to On-Chain Compute, Arbitrum Keeps Expanding

On the other hand, CNF reported that PicWe has also just gone live on the same network. PicWe allows direct cross-chain transfers to Arbitrum without the need for complicated and vulnerable traditional bridges. Imagine, developers can now build omni-chain applications on top of Arbitrum, with a much smoother user experience.

And that’s not all—just a few days ago, Hive went live. Hive enables real-time blockchain data access via natural language queries. For anyone who’s ever been frustrated with technical queries, this is definitely good news.

Furthermore, all of this development is happening in the context of Arbitrum being increasingly busy. As of early July, its network of DEXs—including Camelot, Uniswap, and PancakeSwap—has processed more than half a trillion dollars in swaps. A number that, frankly, is hard to ignore.

This signifies one important thing: the Arbitrum ecosystem is not only growing, but also starting to become one of the most active hubs of activity in the Layer 2 space. Amid all this hustle and bustle, NodeOps adds a new dimension—computation.

NodeOps Backs Its Mainnet Launch With Real Community-Driven Strategies

Interestingly, this mainnet launch is also supported by several previous, quite strategic initiatives. For example, in April, NodeOps released a feature called Staking Hub that supports HYPE and BEAM tokens.

Through this feature, users can participate in the “stakedrop” program which provides additional incentives for those who are actively involved. These methods clearly encourage community participation, without the need for excessive promotion.

Not only that, the NODE token is also directly listed on various major exchanges such as KuCoin, MEXC, Bitget, and is even available via Binance Wallet. With a price of around $0.038 and a market cap touching $5 million, this project is not only talking about technology, but is also starting to tread the path of market adoption.

Its daily trading volume is also quite busy, reaching tens of millions of dollars—a figure that cannot be said to be trivial for a project that has just moved up to the mainnet.

However, what is most interesting about NodeOps is not just the numbers. Their focus on AI orchestration in the DePIN environment, providing node-as-a-service, and verified computing infrastructure are increasingly relevant offerings amid the increasingly complex Web3 trend.

Besides that, as of the writing time, ARB is changing hands at about $0.3271, down 2.08% over the last 24 hours, with $155.80 million in daily trading volume.
