Arbitrum is an innovative Ethereum layer-two (L2) scaling solution which leverages optimistic rollups to enhance the speed, scalability, and cost-efficiency of the Ethereum network. By transferring the majority of computation and storage off-chain, Arbitrum ensures heightened throughput and reduced fees while maintaining the security and compatibility advantages of Ethereum.
The native token of Arbitrum, ARB, serves a governance function. Offchain Labs, the development team behind Arbitrum, recently transitioned to a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) structure known as the Arbitrum DAO. ARB holders can actively vote on proposals that influence the platform’s features, protocol upgrades, fund allocation, and the election of a Security Council.
In 2023, Arbitrum has set forth an ambitious roadmap, which comprises: the launch of its layer-three solution, Orbit; the introduction of Stylus, which allows developers to deploy programs written in widely-used programming languages such as Rust and C++; the expansion of its validator set to incorporate more independent institutional validators; and the migration of its protocol to layer two with Arbitrum One.
On March 16, 2023, Arbitrum unveiled their eagerly awaited ARB airdrop, allocating 12.75% of the total token supply. The airdrop targets early users and DAOs building on the Arbitrum platform. Recipients are determined through a point-based system that accounts for their engagement with the Arbitrum network up until the cutoff date of March 1, 2023.
