How to bridge assets to Arbitrum Testnet
October 9th, 2022

What is Arbitrum?

Arbitrum is a layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum that speeds up the transactions and lowers gas fees. The protocol behind this is called Rollup. Transactions are mainly processed on the second layer and the data is stored
on the main Ethereum chain. This improves speed significantly.

Why Arbitrum is interesting?

  • Scalability— much higher throughput

  • Low fees â€” pretty cheap when compared with L1

  • Trustless security â€” security depends on Ethereum, which is excellent

  • Compatability â€” full support for the EVM. No changes are needed to port from Ethereum to Arbitrum.
