About Arbitrum
Arbitrum is an Ethereum layer-two (L2) scaling solution. It uses optimistic rollups to achieve its goal of improving speed, scalability and cost-efficiency on Ethereum. Arbitrum benefits from the security and compatibility of Ethereum. Another benefit is the higher throughput and lower fees compared to Ethereum. That is made possible thanks to moving most of the computation and storage load off-chain.

What is Arbitrum and How Does It Work?
Arbitrum is a layer-two scaling solution for Ethereum that launched in 2021, developed by Offchain Labs. It was created to address Ethereum’s scalability challenges by processing transactions off the main Ethereum blockchain while maintaining its security guarantees. The ARB token serves as the governance token for the Arbitrum ecosystem, allowing holders to participate in protocol decisions and upgrades.
Arbitrum uses optimistic rollup technology to bundle multiple transactions together and process them off-chain before submitting a single proof to Ethereum. This approach significantly reduces transaction costs and increases throughput while preserving Ethereum’s security model. The network supports smart contracts and is fully compatible with existing Ethereum applications, making it easy for developers to deploy their projects on Arbitrum.
- Optimistic rollups – Processes transactions off-chain for improved efficiency
- Ethereum compatibility – Supports existing smart contracts and applications
- Lower fees – Significantly reduced transaction costs compared to Ethereum mainnet
- High throughput – Processes thousands of transactions per second
- Governance token – ARB holders can vote on protocol upgrades and changes
