About
Arbitrum (ARB)

Arbitrum (ARB) is a premier Layer-2 scaling solution designed to drastically enhance the performance of the Ethereum network. By utilizing optimistic rollups, this Web3 infrastructure addresses the inherent scalability limitations of the Ethereum blockchain, enabling significantly higher transaction throughput while maintaining robust cryptographic security. Arbitrum achieves this by executing transactions off-chain and subsequently bundling them into a single proof submitted to the main decentralized network. This architecture results in substantially lower gas fees for users and developers without compromising the foundational security of Layer-1.

A key technical advantage of Arbitrum is its seamless Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility, further bolstered by the Arbitrum Nitro upgrade. This allows developers to easily deploy existing smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) onto the network with minimal friction. Consequently, it has become a central hub for DeFi applications, liquidity protocols, and NFT ecosystems.

The ARB digital asset serves as the native governance token within the Arbitrum DAO. It empowers token holders to vote on critical on-chain decisions, including protocol upgrades, funding allocations, and dispute resolution mechanisms. As a leading layer-2 protocol, Arbitrum plays a vital role in shaping the scalable future of decentralized finance and smart contract technology.

Frequently asked questions

  • How can I buy Arbitrum (ARB) using Georgian Lari (GEL)?

    To purchase Arbitrum (ARB) with Georgian Lari (GEL), you must use a cryptocurrency exchange acting as a fiat on-ramp. Users typically deposit GEL via local bank transfers, such as through TBC Bank or Bank of Georgia, or use a debit card purchase. Once the fiat gateway clears the funds following KYC/AML compliance checks, you can access the GEL/ARB order book or trade GEL for a stablecoin like USDT to swap for the ARB governance token.
  • What is the main utility of the Arbitrum token (ARB) in the ecosystem?

    The ARB token is primarily used as the governance token for the Arbitrum DAO. Holding ARB allows you to vote on critical proposals affecting the Arbitrum One and Arbitrum Nova networks, such as technology upgrades, smart contract implementations, and ecosystem grants. By purchasing ARB with your GEL, you are investing in a Layer 2 scaling solution designed to offer high EVM compatibility and lower gas fees compared to the Ethereum mainnet.
  • What are the typical transaction fees when converting GEL to ARB?

    Converting GEL to ARB involves two fee layers. First, the fiat gateway will charge a deposit or processing fee, which varies depending on whether you use a local Georgian bank transfer or a debit card purchase. Second, the digital asset exchange will charge a trading fee for executing the transaction. Fortunately, once you hold ARB and transfer it to a digital wallet on the Arbitrum network, you benefit from its optimistic rollup technology, ensuring minimal gas fees for on-chain transactions.
  • Why should I transfer my newly purchased ARB from an exchange to an Arbitrum-compatible wallet?

    Moving your ARB from a centralized cryptocurrency exchange to a self-custodial digital wallet ensures secure trading and full ownership of your assets. An Arbitrum-compatible wallet connects you directly to the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem built on the Arbitrum Nitro architecture. This allows you to interact directly with dApps, provide liquidity, and participate in ARB governance without relying on a third-party custodian.
  • Are there direct GEL/ARB trading pairs available on major exchanges?

    Direct GEL/ARB trading pairs are relatively rare on global platforms, as most deep liquidity pools focus on USD or EUR. Most Georgian users utilize a local fiat on-ramp to buy a stablecoin like Tether (USDT) or USD Coin (USDC) with their Georgian Lari. After this initial digital asset purchase, traders can easily swap the stablecoin for the ARB token on exchanges offering high trading volume and optimal liquidity for Arbitrum.
