AI smart contract project GenLayer completes migration to Arbitrum tech stack

GenLayer, an AI smart-contract project, has completed its migration from Matter Labs' ZK Stack to Arbitrum's Nitro stack, with chain infrastructure operated by Conduit. The project's Bradbury testnet is now running on the new stack, and the upcoming Clarke testnet and mainnet will also use it. The migration covered bridging, Ethereum integration, and on-chain gas cost handling, while core protocol and smart-contract operations remain unchanged. GenLayer continues to explore an institutional private permissioned chain deployment with Matter Labs based on Prividium. The move matters as a notable defection from ZK Stack to Arbitrum's Orbit ecosystem, and the next things to watch are the Clarke testnet launch, mainnet timing, and whether the Prividium side-track yields a separate enterprise product.
