Arbitrum (ARB) — scaling Ethereum without compromises
📌 What is it?
#ARBİTRUM — is a second layer (Layer 2) on Ethereum, created to increase speed and reduce transaction costs without compromising security.
Operates on Optimistic Rollups technology.
Developed by Offchain Labs, public launch took place in 2021. The ARB token appeared in 2023 through one of the most anticipated airdrops.

🔒 Ethereum security is preserved, but throughput increases significantly.
