- Hive is now live on Arbitrum, enabling real-time blockchain data access through natural language queries.
- Hive’s arrival strengthens Arbitrum’s push toward smarter, AI-powered Web3 development.
The launch of Hive Intelligence on the Arbitrum network is finally here. It immediately offers developers something they’ve been looking for: access to real-time blockchain data that can be digested by large language models.
Instead of building their own data infrastructure, Arbitrum developers can simply call the Hive API and feed the response to a bot, on-chain agent, or other AI application of their choice. Imagine building a personal crypto portfolio assistant that can ask, “What were the ETH-USDC swaps on Uniswap v4 in the last three hours?”—and the answer is ready to be processed, as fast as making instant coffee.

On the other hand, Arbitrum is enjoying a growth momentum. The CNF previously highlighted that the cumulative volume of Uniswap v4 in the Layer-2 ecosystem has crossed the $1.5 billion mark. That number is like a ticking scoreboard, indicating a steady flow of traders.
Furthermore, such data is usually scattered across multiple nodes and needs to be manually mined. The Hive integration makes that process much simpler, as cross-chain queries only need to be performed once.
Not only that, Arbitrum DAO’s move on May 9 also demonstrated how proactive the community is in pioneering financial innovation. At that time, almost 89% of voters approved the placement of $11.6 million in US government bonds in the form of tokens.
The funds were evenly divided among Franklin Templeton, Spiko, and WisdomTree after 50 proposals were dived, calculated, and weighed for risk. As treasury funds are carefully rotated, developers feel more comfortable building—including those who want to use Hive for on-chain analytics.
Why Arbitrum Is Becoming a Friendly Home for Smart Tools
However, transaction growth often comes hand in hand with the need for a friendly user experience. That’s why in early April, the Arbitrum team introduced “Operation Slowmo” to slow down block times by up to 20 times.
Sounds counterintuitive? Not really. With the extra delay, users have an extra second to think before hitting the “confirm” button, reducing impulsive mistakes. At first glance, it’s a bit like the “unsend” feature on an email service—not everyone uses it, but many people breathe a sigh of relief when they need it.
When networks give themselves space, data becomes the decision-making force. Hive fits right in: it provides a stream of up-to-date information that can be extracted in natural language, then presented as if you were having a conversation over chat.
In the simplest example, a trader can ask a bot, “what was the average gas price on Arbitrum over the last hour?” and adjust their strategy accordingly. Thanks to Hive’s multichain architecture, similar questions can be extended to over 60 other networks without reloading code.
Behind the scenes, Arbitrum is increasingly becoming a home for AI initiatives—sorry, let’s say “smart tools” so as not to sound too serious. The combination of Operation Slowmo, which makes the user experience more human, and Uniswap v4, which streams liquidity, promises to be a fertile playing field. Hive, with its “LLM-ready” API, fills the gap like a coffee vendor in a traffic jam: convenient, necessary, and keeps everyone awake.
Besides that, as of the writing time, ARB is changing hands at about $0.3108, up 0.13% over the last 24 hours and 1.45% over the last 7 days.
