What is Arbitrum (ARB)?

Arbitrum is a Layer-2 project built on top of the Ethereum blockchain. The project makes transactions on the Ethereum network cheaper and faster while utilizing Ethereum’s security. It is a scaling solution that, thanks to rollups, can execute transactions off Ethereum’s mainnet. This ensures that the network operates much faster and at a lower cost, while transaction data is still recorded on the Ethereum blockchain. As a result, gas fees are significantly lower, making Arbitrum highly attractive for developers building dApps on Ethereum and for users who want to trade ERC-20 and ERC-721 tokens with low transaction costs.

Arbitrum is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). This means that developers can use the Solidity programming language to build smart contracts and dApps on Arbitrum and that Ethereum dApps and smart contracts can easily be migrated to Arbitrum.

How does Arbitrum work?

Arbitrum is a Layer-2 protocol built on top of the Ethereum blockchain that aims to make it more scalable and faster. This is achieved through the use of Optimistic Rollups, a technique where transactions are processed off the Ethereum blockchain and periodically submitted to Ethereum in batches. This approach reduces transaction costs and speeds up processing times.

For comparison:

- Arbitrum can process between 3,000 and 5,000 transactions per second.

- Ethereum can only handle 30 transactions per second.

Looking at costs:

- On Arbitrum, a transaction costs between €0.10 and €1 on average.

- On Ethereum, transaction fees can exceed €100 per transaction.

One of the reasons Arbitrum is so fast is that its system assumes all transactions are valid by default. If the challenge mechanism detects an invalid transaction, it is reversed by a security mechanism.

Developers can use Ethereum’s Solidity programming language to build new dApps and smart contracts on the network. Thanks to Arbitrum’s compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, Ethereum-based tokens (ERC-20 and ERC-721) can interact with Arbitrum dApps.

Arbitrum upgrades

In 2021, Arbitrum was introduced as the first Ethereum Layer-2 solution utilizing Optimistic Rollups to enhance Ethereum’s scalability. With this launch, Arbitrum positioned itself as a solution that allows users to trade Ethereum-based tokens at high speed and low transaction costs.

Later, in 2022, Arbitrum expanded its network with Arbitrum Nova. This is a Layer-2 solution that made Arbitrum even faster and cheaper thanks to the use of AnyTrust Chains. This blockchain architecture is even more efficient than Arbitrum One for specific applications, such as gaming and social media.

Arbitrum One also received an upgrade in 2022: the Arbitrum Nitro stack. This upgrade significantly improved Arbitrum One’s performance by leveraging advanced technologies, making the network up to ten times faster.

Who are the founders of Arbitrum?

The development of Arbitrum began in 2018 by Offchain Labs, a company founded by Steven Goldfeder, Harry Kalodner, and Ed Felten. In 2021, Arbitrum One was launched as the first Layer-2 solution on the Ethereum network utilizing Optimistic Rollups.

Arbitrum Tokenomics

Arbitrum’s native token is ARB, which allows users to perform various actions within the Arbitrum ecosystem. For example, network fees are paid with ARB. Additionally, the ARB token serves as a governance token. ARB holders can vote on important network upgrades, ensuring decentralized governance and allowing users to have a say in the ecosystem’s future.

The total supply of ARB tokens is 10 billion, with a significant portion (42%) distributed to the Ethereum and ARB community. The remaining tokens are allocated for ecosystem development and for Offchain Labs’ founders and team members.

Arbitrum uses an inflationary model, meaning that additional tokens may be created in the future to support the network’s ongoing development.

Arbitrum Airdrop

During the launch of the ARB token in 2023, network users received an airdrop. At that time, 42% of the 10 billion tokens were distributed. The airdrop was intended to reward the community and promote decentralization by giving users the opportunity to receive ARB tokens and participate in network governance.

Users could receive up to thousands of ARB tokens, depending on their interactions with the network, such as the number and frequency of transactions. This generated significant interest and volatility around the launch of ARB.
