Top crypto projects seem to reposition themselves as the market consolidates before a potential bull run.

The Arbitrum team is turning to on-chain automation and artificial intelligence amid efforts to rescue ARB from its underperformance, which saw 100% of ARB holders at a loss in March 2025.

According to the latest announcement, the Arbitrum Foundation and Ember have partnered to launch Trailblazer 2.0 – a $1 million grant initiative to fund DeFi agents using the blockchain’s native agentive framework – VibeKit.

Trailblazer 2.0 is beyond a grant round. It zeroes in on agentic financing, a promising industry where bots handle liquidity, yield, and multiple functions with reduced user input.

The blog reads:

With Trailblazer 2.0, we’re doubling down on the ideas and builders that can leverage DeFi by supporting performance DeFi agents and direct contributions to Vibekit with funding.

The move could trigger utility-backed catalysts and revive investor interest to lift ARB from its prevailing downtrends.

Understanding Trailblazer 2.0

The latest initiative builds on the initial Trailblazer AI grant program, which committed another $1 million to launch multiple AI projects on the Arbitrum blockchain.

DeFi on Arbitrum is going agentic.

To support this momentum, we’re launching Trailblazer 2.0

A $1M funding program following its predecessor: Trailblazer, focused on agentic DeFi and contributions to Vibekit, a new Arbitrum-native MCP agent framework developed by @EmberAGI. 👇

Meanwhile, Trailblazer 2.0 primarily focuses on decentralized finance agents and direct contributions to Vibekit.

Notably, the $1 million grant will support various developer activities aimed at creators who:

  • Launch innovative or profitable DeFi agents
  • Deploy shareable agentic templates
  • Create back-testing tools, plug-ins, and add-ons
  • Integrate DeFi agents into broader use cases

Meanwhile, each eligible contribution will receive up to $10K, which they can use for experimentation and quick iteration.

Why is this vital for native ARB?

Arbitrum’s grant announcement isn’t a random one. It comes as the team seeks ways to shits ARB’s trajectory into profit.

In April, the project launched a targeted airdrop to restore community confidence.

The efforts could pay off. Around 97% of holders sat at a loss when Arbitrum introduced the loyalty airdrop.

The project saw slight improvements, with 95% of investors out of money at the time of this publication.

ARB has lost 68% of its value in the past twelve months, suggesting substantial bearishness.

While broader market sentiments could have influenced the underperformance, ARB raised eyebrows, especially compared to L2 peers like Mantle, which declined by 32% in the past year.

Arbitrum is in crisis, and ecosystem-driven use cases become essential to shift trends.

With Trailblazer 2.0, Arbitrum aims to double down on developer-centered tooling, composability, and innovation.

The grant comes amid increased integration between crypto and artificial intelligence.

Agentic DeFi promises to streamline interactions with complex financial protocols.

Top data firms predict AI agents will surpass $50 billion in market cap by 2030.

Arbitrum could be positioning itself to leverage this growth to rescue the project from current losses.
