Arbitrum is a Layer 2 solution for Ethereum, meaning it helps make transactions faster and cheaper while still using Ethereum’s security. It does this by using optimistic rollups, which move most of the work off the main Ethereum network.
  • Lower Fees – Transactions cost much less than on Ethereum.
  • Faster Speed – Handles thousands of transactions per second.
  • Works with Ethereum – Any Ethereum app can run on Arbitrum without changes.
Arbitrum’s token, ARB, is used for governance. Holders can vote on network upgrades and security decisions through the Arbitrum DAO.
In March 2023, Arbitrum launched a big airdrop, giving 12.75% of ARB tokens to early users and projects building on the network.
Arbitrum’s Growing Ecosystem
Many DeFi and crypto projects run on Arbitrum, including:
  • GMX (decentralized trading)
  • Radiant Capital (lending platform)

Arbitrum is one of the largest Layer 2 networks, with over $1.85 billion locked in its ecosystem. With its speed, low fees, and strong security, Arbitrum is making Ethereum better for everyone.
