ARBOn August 20, Arbitrum implemented the ArbOS 61 Elara upgrade, which introduces several new features to enhance network security and flexibility. The upgrade allows chain owners—rather than ArbitrumDAO—to control transaction screening on dedicated networks, providing more autonomy over compliance measures. Additionally, Elara supports optional protocol-level transaction filtering and priority fee functionality, which can help optimize transaction processing and security.

Changes to base-fee administration aim to streamline fee management, while expanded capacity on Arbitrum One enhances overall network throughput.
These updates reflect Arbitrum's ongoing efforts to improve network security, compliance, and scalability, especially for projects deploying on dedicated chains. The activation of Elara marks a significant step in providing more customizable and secure options for blockchain developers and users within the Arbitrum ecosystem.
