Overview
Arbitrum is a Layer 2 scaling solution that uses ARB as its gas token. The network hosts 93 DeFi protocols across 1,460 active pools, with a total value locked of approximately $2.34 billion. This positions Arbitrum as a significant venue for decentralized finance activity, offering users lower transaction costs and faster settlement compared to mainnet Ethereum while maintaining compatibility with the broader Ethereum ecosystem. The protocol diversity suggests a mature ecosystem spanning multiple DeFi segments, though specific category breakdowns by TVL share are not available. The large number of active pools indicates substantial liquidity fragmentation across various trading pairs and yield-generation mechanisms on the chain.
