BitGo is pleased to announce support for ARB, the native ERC-20 governance token for Arbitrum. Clients can now custody ARB in Hot, Custodial, and Self-Managed Cold wallets.

What is Arbitrum?

Arbitrum is a Layer 2 (L2) technology designed to enhance scaling solutions by empowering users to explore and build in the largest Layer 1 ecosystem, Ethereum. Its L2 scaling solution is tailored for Ethereum, amplifying the network’s capacities through accelerated transaction speeds, bolstering scalability, and integrating privacy functionalities.

According to Arbitrum, the main objective of the blockchain is to tackle Ethereum’s smart contract constraints, such as inefficient performance and exorbitant execution expenses, which have impeded the overall user experience on the platform.

What sets Arbitrum apart?

Designed to empower builders, Arbitrum Rollup allows developers to migrate smart contracts from Ethereum to L2 with minimal or no modifications. Its suite of L2 scaling technologies, inclusive of optimistic Rollups, enables Ethereum smart contracts to expand their scalability by communicating with other smart contracts both on the Ethereum mainchain and within the Arbitrum second layer.

As an optimistic Rollup for Ethereum, it powers high-throughput and low-cost decentralized applications (dApps). Additionally, it uses Arbitrum Rollups to bundle hundreds of transactions into one and offload traffic from the ETH mainnet onto the L2 chains. This is important as ETH still faces some limitations. This solution increases the throughput of the Ethereum network while maintaining its security and decentralization properties. As a result, dApps become more usable and scalable by reducing transaction costs and increasing throughput.
