The Arbitrum token is the latest hot coin on the market.  Here's a quick explainer of what Arbitrum is,  where to buy Arbitrum tokens and how to buy ARB on Obiex.

What is Arbitrum (ARB)?

Arbitrum is a smart contract which helps the Ethereum blockchain process transactions. For more context, a smart contract is a computer program that helps complete and process cryptocurrency transactions.

Ethereum is an efficient blockchain, but sometimes, transactions become too much to process. This transaction overflow is because Ethereum has become very popular for activities like buying and selling digital art and decentralised finance (DeFi).

This popularity causes the Ethereum system to become occasionally congested, making transactions expensive and slow.

To solve this problem, the Ethereum team is working on both on-chain (within the blockchain) and off-chain (outside of the blockchain) solutions to improve its processing capacity.

Arbitrum was developed by Offchain Labs in 2021 as a solution to improve the efficiency of the Ethereum blockchain by increasing transaction speed and reducing trading fees.

What is the Arbitrum token (ARB)?

$ARB is the native governance token of Arbitrum.

This governance token allows its holders to vote on decisions related to how the Arbitrum smart contract and foundation work. Its release means that Arbitrum is now a decentralised autonomous organisation (DAO).

A decentralised autonomous organisation is a type of organisation that uses computer programs called smart contracts to run its operations and make decisions.

Instead of relying on a central authority like typical organisations, it relies on a decentralised voting process where token holders can vote on proposals, and the results are automatically executed through smart contracts.

The goal of a DAO is to create a transparent and democratic way of making decisions and running an organisation.
