Over the last week, the ArcBlock team has rolled out a wave of updates this past week to improve usability, performance, and AI-readiness across multiple products. From a visual theme builder in Pages Kit to real-time credit-based billing in Payment Kit, and from Discuss Kit’s upgraded documentation tools to DID Spaces’ new AI streaming support, these releases are designed to give developers and businesses more control, flexibility, and speed.
Here’s a breakdown of what’s new and why it matters.
