Arbitrum 基金會與樂天集團合作拓展 Metaverse 雄心

以太坊第 2 層網路 Arbitrum 已與韓國樂天集團合作，以擴大其虛擬宇宙的野心。

South Korean conglomerate Lotte Group has secured funding from Layer-2 Ethereum network Arbitrum to expand its metaverse ambitions.

韓國企業集團樂天集團已從 Layer-2 以太坊網路 Arbitrum 獲得資金，以擴大其虛擬宇宙的野心。

In its largest-ever developer grant, the Arbitrum Foundation has chosen Lotte to drive blockchain development for Caliverse, the metaverse gaming platform owned by the South Korean conglomerate.

Arbitrum 基金會在其有史以來最大的一筆開發者資助中選擇樂天來推動 Caliverse 的區塊鏈開發，Caliverse 是這家韓國企業集團旗下的虛擬遊戲平台。

The Lotte Caliverse will be an AI-driven 3D entertainment experience on the blockchain. This announcement was made during CES 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada, where Offchain Labs, the developers behind Arbitrum, confirmed the grant without disclosing its exact value.

樂天Caliverse將是區塊鏈上人工智慧驅動的3D娛樂體驗。這項公告是在內華達州拉斯維加斯舉行的 CES 2025 期間發布的，Arbitrum 背後的開發商 Offchain Labs 確認了這筆贈款，但沒有透露其確切價值。

However, sources close to the matter revealed that the grant was issued in Arbitrum’s native token, ARB. This is standard practice for the Arbitrum Foundation, which seeks to foster growth across its ecosystem.

然而，知情人士透露，這筆贈款是以 Arbitrum 的原生代幣 ARB 形式發放的。這是 Arbitrum 基金會的標準做法，旨在促進整個生態系統的成長。

“Lotte is Arbitrum Foundation’s largest grant recipient to date. We’re proud to collaborate with partners closely aligned with our vision,” said John Park, Head of Korea at the Arbitrum Foundation.

「樂天是 Arbitrum 基金會迄今為止最大的資助得主。我們很自豪能夠與與我們的願景密切相關的合作夥伴合作，」Arbitrum 基金會韓國負責人 John Park 說。

Lotte’s initial foray into the metaverse began in 2022, and the first announcement of its partnership with Arbitrum came last year. The decision to integrate Arbitrum’s blockchain into Caliverse marks a significant step in bridging traditional businesses with emerging blockchain technologies.

樂天於 2022 年首次涉足虛擬宇宙，並於去年首次宣布與 Arbitrum 建立合作關係。將 Arbitrum 的區塊鏈整合到 Caliverse 中的決定標誌著在傳統業務與新興區塊鏈技術之間架起橋樑的重要一步。

Caliverse serves as a playground for novel tech trends, including artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and cryptocurrency. Users of the platform can explore immersive virtual worlds, participate in futuristic shopping experiences, and interact with branded content from global giants such as 7-Eleven and Tomorrowland.

Caliverse 是人工智慧、虛擬實境和加密貨幣等新技術趨勢的遊樂場。該平台的用戶可以探索沉浸式虛擬世界，參與未來購物體驗，並與 7-11 和 Tomorrowland 等全球巨頭的品牌內容互動。

With Arbitrum’s integration, Caliverse users will soon be able to make crypto payments for services. On the other hand, in-game transactions will leverage on-chain systems. Therefore, the partnership could rekindle corporate interest in metaverse ventures. While this concept peaked in popularity several years ago, it struggled to maintain momentum.

透過 Arbitrum 的集成，Caliverse 用戶很快就能對服務進行加密支付。另一方面，遊戲內交易將利用鏈上系統。因此，此次合作可能會重新激發企業對元宇宙企業的興趣。雖然這個概念在幾年前達到了流行頂峰，但它很難保持勢頭。

“Arbitrum’s blockchain is the ideal home ground for Lotte Caliverse, delivering industry-leading 250ms block times that ensure high-quality performance within virtual worlds and gaming experiences. With Arbitrum now powering Lotte Caliverse, in-game transactions will be seamlessly integrated on-chain, eliminating latency and providing users with a smooth, consumer-friendly experience,” said Steven Goldfeder, CEO of Offchain Labs.

「Arbitrum 的區塊鏈是 Lotte Caliverse 的理想主場，提供業界領先的 250 毫秒區塊時間，確保虛擬世界和遊戲體驗中的高品質效能。隨著 Arbitrum 現在為 Lotte Caliverse 提供支持，遊戲內交易將在鏈上無縫集成，消除延遲並為用戶提供流暢、消費者友好的體驗。

While Lotte’s grant marks a milestone, the Arbitrum Foundation has a history of supporting innovative projects. On January 11, 2024, the Foundation awarded a grant to AOFverse, another metaverse-focused platform.

雖然樂天的資助標誌著一個里程碑，但 Arbitrum 基金會有著支持創新計畫的歷史。 2024 年 1 月 11 日，基金會向另一個專注於元宇宙的平台 AOFverse 提供了資助。

AOFverse’s initiative aimed to enhance on-chain metaverse experiences. Taken together, these developments signal Arbitrum’s broader strategy to dominate blockchain-based virtual environments.

AOFverse 的舉措旨在增強鏈上元宇宙體驗。總而言之，這些發展標誌著 Arbitrum 主導基於區塊鏈的虛擬環境的更廣泛策略。

Arbitrum has been a popular choice as a Layer-2 Ethereum blockchain because of its flexibility. Its prominence in the gaming sector has grown significantly, with the network experiencing a 72% year-over-year growth in 2024.

Arbitrum 由於其靈活性而成為第 2 層以太坊區塊鏈的熱門選擇。它在遊戲領域的地位顯著增強，該網路到 2024 年將年增 72%。

According to Offchain Labs, Arbitrum currently hosts 119 game titles and 23 gaming-focused blockchains through its Arbitrum Orbit stack. This toolkit enables developers to build customized blockchains using Arbitrum’s technology.

據 Offchain Labs 稱，Arbitrum 目前透過其 Arbitrum Orbit 堆疊託管 119 款遊戲和 23 個以遊戲為中心的區塊鏈。該工具包使開發人員能夠使用 Arbitrum 的技術建立客製化的區塊鏈。

The collaboration between blockchain and Lotte merges blockchain’s efficiency with Lotte’s entertainment and retail expertise, paving the way for a new era of virtual interactivity. For Arbitrum, this partnership reinforces its position as the preferred blockchain infrastructure for gaming and metaverse platforms, with the deal set to introduce brands to a metaverse-like experience.

區塊鏈與樂天之間的合作將區塊鏈的效率與樂天的娛樂和零售專業知識融合在一起，為虛擬互動的新時代鋪平了道路。對 Arbitrum 來說，此次合作鞏固了其作為遊戲和元界平台首選區塊鏈基礎設施的地位，該交易旨在向品牌引入類似元界的體驗。

Despite the announcement, ARB’s price has dropped nearly 10% since the Wednesday session began. According to BeInCrypto data, it is currently trading at $0.827.

儘管宣布了這一消息，ARB 的價格自周三交易開始以來仍下跌了近 10%。根據 BeInCrypto 數據，目前交易價格為 0.827 美元。
