Arbitrum One is a fast, low-cost blockchain network built on Ethereum technology. It is designed to make using crypto apps and sending digital assets cheaper and more efficient than using Ethereum mainnet directly.
Arbitrum One is an Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) network, meaning it processes transactions off the Ethereum mainnet while inheriting Ethereum's security. It supports thousands of Ethereum-compatible tokens and decentralized applications (DApps), including DeFi platforms, NFT marketplaces, and blockchain games.
The Bitcoin.com Wallet supports Arbitrum One, allowing users to securely send, receive, store, and use assets on the Arbitrum network directly from the multichain wallet.
Why use Arbitrum One?
Users choose Arbitrum One because it offers:
Lower transaction fees compared to Ethereum mainnet
Faster transaction confirmations
Access to Ethereum-compatible apps and tokens
Support for popular stablecoins and DeFi applications
A growing ecosystem of decentralized applications
What assets can I use on Arbitrum One?
Arbitrum One uses ETH as its native token for paying network fees ("gas"), along with many ERC-20 tokens such as USDC and other Ethereum-compatible assets.
Important: Assets on Arbitrum One are separate from the same assets on other blockchain networks like Ethereum, Base, Polygon, or BNB Smart Chain. For example, USDC on Arbitrum One is different from USDC on Ethereum mainnet.
Always ensure you select the correct network when sending or receiving crypto. Sending funds on the wrong network may result in permanent loss of funds.
