View ChartArbitrum is an Ethereum layer-two (L2) scaling solution. It uses optimistic rollups to improve the speed, scalability, and cost-efficiency of Ethereum. Arbitrum also benefits from Ethereum's security and compatibility. It also offers higher throughput and lower fees than Ethereum. This is made possible by moving most of the computation and storage load off-chain.
Transactions execute off-chain, batches are posted to Ethereum, and fraud proofs let validators challenge incorrect results. Arbitrum also supports Solidity smart contracts, and its roadmap includes BoLD, Stylus (Rust, C++ deployment) and the layer-three solution Orbit.
Arbitrum is developed by Offchain Labs, founded by Ed Felten (co-founder and Chief Scientist, who served as President Obama's Deputy CTO), Steven Goldfeder (co-founder and CEO) and Harry Kalodner (co-founder and CTO), all former Princeton University researchers. The three co-founders are former Princeton University researchers with experience in computer science, cryptography and blockchain. The developers behind Arbitrum, Offchain Labs, have announced a shift to a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) structure—the Arbitrum DAO.
ARB is the governance token of Arbitrum. Holders can vote on proposals affecting features, protocol upgrades, funds allocation and the election of a Security Council. The Security Council comprises 12 members who are elected by Arbitrum DAO participants and are responsible for addressing risks within the Arbitrum ecosystem.
With a maximum supply limit of 10 billion tokens, the ARB token—Arbitrum's native cryptocurrency—was issued as an ERC-20 token. The ARB token generation event took place on March 23, 2023, and the official ERC-20 contract address is 0x912ce59144191c1204e64559fe8253a0e49e6548. The official ARB token is an ERC-20 contract at 0x912ce59144191c1204e64559fe8253a0e49e6548, verifiable on Arbiscan (arbiscan.io). Circulating supply is approximately 6.79 billion ARB, about 68% of the 10 billion maximum supply.
Following the ARB airdrop, governance of the ecosystem was transferred to the Arbitrum DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization; the Arbitrum Foundation supports the DAO.
To celebrate this achievement, a substantial airdrop was held, distributing 1.162 billion ARB tokens (11.62% of the total supply) to users actively engaged with the Arbitrum ecosystem. This included individuals who bridged funds and conducted transactions on the platform.
Additionally, the Arbitrum DAO established a system through which a 12-person Security Council could be democratically elected. This council is responsible for implementing emergency and non-emergency measures to mitigate different threats to the ecosystem.
An L2 smart contract mechanism controls the ARB token's yearly inflation rate, which can be up to 2%, allowing for progressive issuance of new tokens.
A decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) governs the Arbitrum ecosystem, giving ARB holders a say in any proposed modifications. Cross-chain interoperability could allow the platform to work with tokens and coins on different blockchains, potentially expanding its user base. As developer tools and infrastructure evolve, building and deploying on Arbitrum is expected to become even easier, significantly expanding its reach.
Arbitrum's scalability and low gas fees could pave the way for more complex and decentralized apps on the Ethereum network, potentially leading to a wider range of use cases and adoption, thereby impacting the ecosystem. Simply being part of the market could encourage other L2s to improve their services and innovate.
Risks to consider: ARB has experienced significant drawdowns from its all-time high, and token unlocks (for example, about 92.65 million ARB entering circulation on August 16, 2026) may add selling pressure. Regulatory treatment of tokens continues to evolve. This article is for information only and is not investment advice.
ARB can be acquired on major cryptocurrency exchanges and held in a non-custodial wallet such as MetaMask, which supports the Arbitrum network. Always verify contract addresses and venue reputation before trading. ARB is available on major cryptocurrency exchanges; always verify that a venue is reputable and regulated in your jurisdiction before trading.
