Offchain Labs, the team behind Ethereum scaling solution, yesterday announced the wider launch of Arbitrum One, the project’s beta version.
Though the launch is notable, the developer team will still be able to “pause the system” if there are any unforeseen complications, Offchain Labs said. This also means the transaction capacity has been capped at the same level as Ethereum. “Over the coming months and weeks, we’ll continue to monitor network usage, improve stability and performance, and gradually increase our transaction cap over time,” Offchain Labs said.
Arbitrum leverages a piece of technology called “optimistic rollups” to ease congestion and lower fees when interacting with Ethereum.
Instead of executing operations on Ethereum, users move to a second layer, hence the term layer 2. Here, they can spend, send, loan, and borrow all at a fraction of the cost. At the end of their activity, all of these transactions are then “rolled up” and settled in a single transaction on Ethereum.
WE KNOW YOU'VE BEEN WAITING...
WE'RE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE...
📘ARBITRUM ONE📘
BRIEF YOURSELF BELOW 👇, WE'LL SEE YOU IN L2.https://t.co/fQT8EyyldL
— Arbitrum is live on mainnet! (@arbitrum) August 31, 2021
Reddit has announced that it is now using scaling solution Arbitrum to scale its Ethereum-based community points—tokens called Moons and Bricks. “We are scaling Reddit’s Community Points with Arbitrum! Today we are deploying a new Layer-2 rollup using Arbitrum technology. We will be testing this scaling network on top of Rinkeby, before migrating to the Ethereum mainnet,” Reddit administrators revealed yesterday. Arbitrum is one of the several “rollups” that are currently being developed for Et...
The cautious launch was met with a rally for various decentralized finance (DeFi) projects that have integrated Arbitrum.
DeFi is a subsection of crypto which aims to replicate various traditional financial services, like lending and borrowing, but without a centralized entity, such as a bank or broker.
Aave, for instance, lets users earn interest for depositing different cryptocurrencies on the platform. And as the protocol has already integrated with Arbitrum One, the scaling solutions’ expansion to all of crypto appears to have resulted in a boost in Aave’s native token, AAVE.
The token is currently trading at $398.28, after peaking at nearly $410 earlier this morning.
Elsewhere, Uniswap, DeFi’s most popular decentralized exchange, also mounted an impressive rally shortly after the Arbitrum announcement. The protocol’s native token, UNI, rose from $26.53 to a local high of $30.47. At press time, UNI is trading hands at $29,94.
These two projects aren’t the only ones to have made the layer-2 leap. The Arbitrum One Portal shows dozens of different crypto projects that have integrated the solution.
And as more projects port over, the current DeFi experience will be replicated one-for-one on a much cheaper, faster, and more efficient version of Ethereum.
Well, one day at least.

The founder of online news publication TechCrunch has claimed that Coinbase’s recent data breach “will lead to people dying,” amid a wave of kidnap attempts targeting high-net-worth crypto holders. TechCrunch founder and venture capitalist Michael Arrington added that this should be a point of reflection for regulators to re-think the importance of know-your-customer (KYC), a process that requires users to confirm their identity to a platform. He also called for prison time for executives that f...
Kevin O’Leary responded Monday to U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren's (D-MA) latest attacks on the Senate’s stablecoin bill, rejecting her claims as “completely deranged” and warning that politicizing the legislation could undermine the U.S.’s position in global finance. “She’s confusing politics with progress, and this time, it could cost America dearly,” the Shark Tank investor and entrepreneur tweeted Monday. He added that, “This bill has nothing to do with Trump or meme coins.” Elizabeth Warre...
