Arbitrum is a layer 2 solution designed to improve the capabilities of Ethereum smart contracts — boosting their speed and scalability, while adding in additional privacy features to boot. The platform is designed to allow developers to easily run unmodified Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) contracts and Ethereum transactions on a second layer, while still benefiting from Ethereum’s excellent layer 1 security.
As predicted in our speculative airdrop section, Arbitrum has finally confirmed to launch an own token called “ARB” and will airdrop free tokens to early users based on certain criteria. A total of 1.162 Billion ARB has been allocated for the airdrop.

ARB will be listed on Binance when the claim goes live so that the users can trade immediately.
