Who we are. SickB is a community-born chain that survived the death of the L2 it was born on. When that platform's developers walked away, the community migrated to Ethereum on trust alone, and rebuilt from there. The chain that exists today is an AnyTrust L3 on Arbitrum, compiled from source, with every component designed to interlock: a multi-token bridge that hands users gas the moment they arrive, a launchpad that gates new projects through community review rather than automation, a DEX where bots and traders already live, and a DAO that decides where revenue goes.
What this page is. A live readout from a mirror node that runs independent of the sequencer, an honest accounting of where trust is still required, and a dated plan for closing each gap. Health, backing, risk, and roadmap, all on one surface.
Why it exists. Most chains hide what this page shows. Outside auditors do the disclosure work the chains themselves refuse to. After watching one L2 disappear with no warning and no scoreboard, we are not going to be one of those chains.
Where we are going. Sovereign infrastructure on Ethereum. Quality builders gated by the community. A roadmap that walks each red wedge below to amber, and each amber wedge to green, until the chain runs honestly with no one needing to take anyone's word for it.
Every supported token on SickB Chain is locked on Ethereum via smart contract holding the bridged funds. The L3 only mints what is placed into this safety deposit locker. Here we audit and monitor all deposits and withdrawals so anyone can verify the math: what is locked on L1 versus L3 circulating supply, per token, in real time.
The 0.1% bridge withdrawal fee keeps the lockbox ahead of L3 supply over time, which is why backing reads at or above 100%. One number to watch. A simple verification that all funds are secure.
A ground-up AnyTrust L3 on Arbitrum, self-hosted on dedicated bare-metal. The Nitro stack is built from source. Bridge, DEX, BahtBus gas, sickpad and the DAO were designed together, not bolted on.
A custom multi-token bridge. WSICKB and every supported ERC20 follow the same rules: a per-token lockbox on Ethereum holds the reserves, and a 0.1% withdrawal fee flows to the DAO treasury. Backing is verifiable on L1 for every token.
The native decentralized exchange. Bots trade on it, sickpad tokens list against it, and the live trade feed runs alongside. The ecosystem moves through this surface.
Every deposit to SickB Chain gets a free gas ticket via BahtBus, bundled in the same atomic transaction as the deposit. If the deposit succeeds, the gas ticket is guaranteed. Bridgers transact immediately without acquiring gas separately.
sickpad is how new tokens come to life on SickB. Launch a token, then trade it on the native DEX with the bot ecosystem already around it. Per-token mini-status is on the roadmap.
A community-governed treasury funded by the 0.1% bridge withdrawal fee. The DAO decides how that revenue is allocated across the ecosystem and governs validator-partner compensation.
Arbitrum Nitro, the same stack that powers Arbitrum One. Built from source. Normal execution runs the Geth-derived native engine; the state transition function compiles to WASM only for the proving path.
Solidity contracts behave exactly as they would on Ethereum. The full Geth opcode set, with Arbitrum's precompiles layered on top through ArbOS.
The Stylus runtime (a Wasmer fork) ships in our Nitro binary. Stylus contracts written in Rust, C or C++ compile to WASM and then AOT to native machine code on activation. We have not yet exercised Stylus on this chain. It is still early days across the ecosystem.
Blocks are produced when there is something to include. Current config sets the spacing floor at 95ms, giving a practical ceiling near 10.5 blocks per second.
Transactions on SickB cost effectively nothing. Native gas on a custom token (WSICKB), priced low enough that everyday on-chain activity does not require thinking about fees.
Data committed to a DAS committee, with automatic L1 calldata fallback when the committee is unhealthy. The honest trade-off that keeps fees low without breaking verifiability.
AnyTrust by design. There are no onchain fraud or validity proofs. State correctness rests on the assumption that the DAS committee and the sequencer do not collude. This is the deliberate trade-off a trading chain makes for cost and speed, and we say so plainly. The counterweight: bridged funds sit in the lockbox on Ethereum, verifiable on-chain.

Where it started. A community and a meme, with a real chain built behind it. The DEX, the bots and the launchpad all grew out of that.
Moving onto sovereign infrastructure. Self-run Reth execution and Lighthouse consensus, then DeFi primitives such as lending and perpetuals built on the native DEX.
Full decentralization: sequencer failover, permissionless validation, and the Sleeper Train upgrade (more soon). Funds provably backed on Ethereum the whole way.
