Technology Overview

What is Arbitrum?

Arbitrum One is the largest Ethereum L2 by TVL ($20B+). It inherits Ethereum's security through optimistic rollup settlement while reducing gas costs by 90–99%. We have been building on Arbitrum since its launch.

Arbitrum One processes transactions off-chain and posts compressed batches to Ethereum mainnet — inheriting Ethereum's security while reducing gas costs from $2–$50 on mainnet to $0.02–$0.50 on Arbitrum. The DeFi ecosystem on Arbitrum includes GMX, Camelot, Radiant Capital, and Uniswap V3 — making Arbitrum the most composable L2 for DeFi applications.

Implementation

How we implement Arbitrum

01

Discovery and fit

We validate requirements, user flows, transaction volume, security constraints, and integration needs.

02

Architecture

We define contracts, backend services, infrastructure, data flows, testing strategy, and deployment environments.

03

Implementation

Our engineers build, integrate, test, and document the production system.

04

Launch and support

We deploy, monitor, optimize, and support the system after production release.

Security

Security at every implementation layer

Threat modeling

Architecture is reviewed for asset custody, access control, external dependencies, and abuse cases.

Testing

Implementation includes unit, integration, edge-case, and regression testing before release.

Audit readiness

Smart contracts and critical infrastructure are prepared for independent security review where required.

Monitoring

Production systems include observability, alerts, incident response planning, and maintenance workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Arbitrum development FAQs

Are Arbitrum contracts the same as Ethereum contracts?+

Yes. Arbitrum One is fully EVM-compatible. Existing Solidity contracts deploy to Arbitrum with minimal configuration changes (update the RPC endpoint and chain ID). All Ethereum tooling (Hardhat, Foundry, OpenZeppelin) works without modification.

Is Arbitrum as secure as Ethereum mainnet?+

Arbitrum inherits Ethereum's security with one additional assumption: the sequencer is trusted for ordering (though users can bypass the sequencer if it goes offline). In practice: Arbitrum's security model is considered extremely robust. The bridge to Ethereum L1 has a 7-day challenge period for withdrawal of assets.
