1️⃣ What is Arbitrum
Arbitrum is Ethereum's biggest Layer 2 to date. ⚡️
A Layer 2 blockchain is an extension of Ethereum that benefits from the security assurances provided by Ethereum while operating independently.
It can do all of this because it's an Optimistic Rollup

Optimistic Rollups speed up Ethereum's smart contract by using a second-layer chain to handle most of the work, while still recording everything on the main chain for security. 🔒

2️⃣ What makes it so special?
Everybody has been calling Arbitrum their new home, but why?
It's been growing at an astonishing rate for many months and it currently sits as the 4th biggest chain by TVL and as the 3rd biggest chain for its 24hrs trading volume. 🤯

It's been such a success that it also got deployed on @avalancheavax and it shares a stunning $633mln of TVL between both chains. 💸
GMX also generates $260k in revenue from fees making it one of the most profitable protocols in crypto.
