Arbitrum Quick Facts
Arbitrum is an L2 scaling solution for Ethereum. It is a suite of Ethereum scaling solutions that enables high-throughput, low cost smart contracts while remaining trustlessly secure. Arbitrum has security rooted in Ethereum, with any one party able to ensure correct Layer 2 results. Arbitrum is also able to run unmodified EVM contracts and unmodified Ethereum transactions. Moving contract computation and storage off of the main Ethereum chain allows for much higher throughput. Designed and engineered to minimize the L1 gas footprint of the system, Arbitrum minimizes per-transaction cost.
