About Arbitrum
Anyone who has used the Ethereum network, especially when interacting with DeFi protocols or other smart-contract-based projects, have firsthand experience with one of the network’s biggest hurdles: prohibitively expensive transaction fees.
One scaling solution with the best potential for easing congestion is optimistic rollups; a layer 2 scaling solution. A Layer 2 solution is a network that takes some of the processing work off the main (or Layer 1) Ethereum chain with the aim of improving performance.
Optimistic rollups can decrease the amount of time it takes to confirm a transaction, increase transaction throughput, and reduce gas fees. Optimistic rollups can offer up to 10-100x improvements in scalability dependent on the transaction.
Arbitrum Rollup is an Optimistic Rollup protocol developed by OffchainLabs for the Ethereum blockchain. It enables high-throughput, low cost smart contracts while remaining trustlessly secure.
From a user perspective, interacting with Arbitrum feels exactly like interacting with Ethereum. Built on top of, and secured by the Ethereum blockchain, all transaction data is logged on Ethereum. But transactions on Arbitrum cost a fraction of what they would if run natively on Ethereum, yet without compromising on security or decentralization.
