## Optimizing Layer 2 with Central Block Times Datamine Network has deployed a new central block time endpoint specifically designed for Arbitrum. Because block generation on Arbitrum (Layer 2) operates differently than Ethereum Mainnet (Layer 1), the system now maintains two separate central block times. This optimization allows the platform to accurately estimate specific block times, drastically reducing the volume of external API calls and maximizing application efficiency. ## Unlocking Uniswap L2 Historical Pricing This infrastructure update serves as the direct foundation for integrating Uniswap pools on Layer 2. By leveraging these optimized block times, Datamine will soon hook in Uniswap pools to feed historical pricing data for Layer 2 assets. This ensures that users can easily monitor real-time and historical performance metrics for tokens like ArbiFLUX and LOCK directly within the decentralized dashboard.
