Arbitrum is a Layer 2 (L2) network for scaling the Ethereum blockchain developed by Offchain Labs. It uses Optimistic Rollup technology to aggregate large packets of off-net transactions from Ethereum smart contracts and decentralized applications (DApps) before sending them to Ethereum.

Details on the airdrop. The total issuance will be 10 billion ARBs. The Arbitrum community will control 56% of these tokens. The airdrop will result in 11,5% of the total volume going to Arbitrum's eligible users and 1,1% to DAOs who work in the Arbitrum ecosystem. The remaining community tokens will go to a treasury controlled by the new Arbitrum DAO, which will allow ARB holders to vote on the distribution of funds.

Cryptocurrency exchange Huobi has already announced the listing of ARB, it will take place on the day of the launch of the asset. Users will be able to make deposits from March 17 at 12:00 UTC, and trading in ARB/USDT and ARB/USDD pairs will be open “when the deposit volume meets the demand of market trading.”
