Arbitrum (ARB)
Arbitrum is an Ethereum layer-2 network designed to make decentralised applications faster and cheaper to use while preserving close compatibility with Ethereum’s tooling and security model. It uses optimistic rollup technology, which processes transactions off the Ethereum mainnet and later posts compressed transaction data back to Ethereum. This approach reduces fees and congestion for users while allowing developers to deploy applications with minimal changes from an Ethereum environment.
The network has become one of the most widely used scaling ecosystems in crypto, particularly across decentralised finance. Major applications on Arbitrum include decentralised exchanges, lending markets, derivatives platforms, yield protocols and infrastructure services. Projects such as GMX, Uniswap, Radiant and Gains Network have helped make the chain a prominent venue for on-chain trading and liquidity.
ARB is the governance token of the Arbitrum ecosystem. It is used by holders to participate in decisions affecting the protocol and the Arbitrum DAO, including proposals related to treasury management, ecosystem incentives and network development. The token does not function as the gas asset for ordinary transactions, which are paid in ETH, reflecting Arbitrum’s role as an Ethereum-aligned scaling layer.
Arbitrum’s appeal rests on its combination of low transaction costs, strong developer familiarity and deep DeFi liquidity. It competes with other Ethereum scaling networks, but its early adoption, large application base and active governance structure make it one of the key projects shaping the evolution of Ethereum’s multi-layer ecosystem.
