Arbitrum chain
Overview
The Arbitrum project offers two layer-2 scaling products for Ethereum: Arbitrum One, which uses an optimistic rollup design, and Arbitrum Nova, built on the AnyTrust framework. Both systems handle transactions off the main chain to reduce costs and increase speed, while retaining Ethereum’s security guarantees. The platform sees broad adoption across decentralised finance, non-fungible tokens, and blockchain gaming.
Within The Counterparty graph, Arbitrum connects to 415 tracked entities, most strongly to Ether (ETH), Ethereum, USD Coin.
