Welcome back to Archetype! We have an exciting update for EVM enjoyers and multi-chain savants…

Archetype just went from Arbitrum-only to compatible with the most popular EVM chains!

Now you can swap to and from different EVM chains. Keep in mind that the Smart Account functionality remains Arbitrum-only (for now!).

This leap into cross-chain functionality opens the doors to an entirely new user base and takes us one step closer to a future where siloed chain-specific barriers are a thing of the past.

From Arbitrum-only to Cross-EVM

Cross-chain functionality is more than just a technical perk. It enables Archetype to unlock several key advantages:

  1. Broader User Base: By expanding to other popular EVMs, Archetype gains access to a wider pool of users with different preferences.

  2. Reduced Friction: Users no longer have to worry about switching platforms to access different chains.

  3. Arbitrage Opportunities: With access to multiple chains, users can take advantage of arbitrage opportunities between markets.

A Glimpse into a Chain-Abstracted Future

This is just the beginning of what we envision for the future. The ultimate goal for Archetype—and DeFi as a whole—is a fully chain-abstracted experience where users don’t need to know or care which chain they are on.

Imagine a world where a user can trade seamlessly across chains, with all the technical complexity hidden behind a simple, elegant interface. This is the future we are building toward.

Enter the future of Defi with Archetype!

Archetype is set to revolutionize the way you, me, and everyone’s grandma trades on-chain. We’ve got all the buzzwords — intents, account abstraction, and core DeFi primitives. Go try it out! (currently in its beta phase)

We’d love to hear your feedback! Join the Premia community here, shoot us a question on X, whichever you prefer.

Archetype has been built for you, and we’re far from finished.
