📌 What is this?
#ARBİTRUM is the second layer (Layer 2) over Ethereum, designed to increase speed and reduce transaction costs without sacrificing security.
Operates on the technology of optimistic rollups (Optimistic Rollups).
Developed by the Offchain Labs team, public launch took place in 2021. The ARB token appeared in 2023 through one of the most anticipated airdrops.
⚙️ How does Arbitrum work?
🔷 Optimistic Rollups:
All transactions are processed off the main Ethereum and periodically 'rolled up' into a single entry that is sent to the main blockchain.
🔒 Ethereum's security is maintained, but throughput increases significantly.
✅ Key benefits:
~40–60x lower fees than Ethereum
High speed (up to 4k TPS on Arbitrum Nova)
Fully compatible with Ethereum (supports EVM)
