Information about Arbitrum (ARB)
Arbitrum is a layer 2 solution designed to improve the capabilities of Ethereum smart contracts — boosting their speed and scalability, while adding in additional privacy features to boot. The platform is designed to allow developers to easily run unmodified Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) contracts and Ethereum transactions on a second layer, while still benefiting from Ethereum’s excellent layer 1 security.
Arbitrum is powered by the Nitro proprietary technology stack. Nitro’s next-generation rollup architecture provides 7x more throughput than Ethereum and lower fees without sacrificing any security. Arbitrum is currently at the top of Ethereum’s Layer-2 chain list with a TVL of more than $1.8 billion.
ARB is a native token of the Arbitrum ecosystem, operating on Arbitrum according to ERC20 standard.
Offchain Labs, the developers behind Arbitrum, announced the shift to a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) structure — the Arbitrum DAO. ARB holders can vote on proposals that affect the features, protocol upgrades, funds allocation and election of a Security Council.
