What is Arbitrum?
Arbitrum is the largest Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution by total value locked. Built by Offchain Labs, Arbitrum uses optimistic rollup technology to process transactions off-chain while inheriting Ethereum’s security guarantees. This allows for significantly lower gas fees and faster transaction confirmation compared to the Ethereum mainnet.
Arbitrum hosts a thriving DeFi ecosystem with major protocols like GMX, Aave, and Uniswap deployed on the network. Its full EVM compatibility means developers can deploy existing Ethereum smart contracts without modification. The Arbitrum Orbit framework also allows teams to build custom Layer 3 chains on top of Arbitrum.
The ARB token was distributed via airdrop in March 2023 and is used for governance of the Arbitrum DAO, which controls the protocol’s treasury and upgrade decisions.
