 “This is the initial non-beta release of nitro node software and the first version compatible with the Nitro upgraded Arbitrum One chain”

Enhancements in L2 Chain 

Nitro’s main component is a new prover that can perform the traditional interactive fraud proofs of Arbitrum over WASM code. Thus, in contrast to the custom-built language and compiler used in earlier Arbitrum versions, the L2 Arbitrum engine may be written and compiled using regular languages and tools.

Arbitrum OS was recently revised to Go. To effectively reduce the cross-chain communications and the cost on L1 through revamped batching & compression protocols. The transaction of Arbitrum is expected to be seamless with calculated downtime of 2 to 4 hours.
