What is Arbitrum?

The latest advancements in layer 2 solutions for Ethereum dApps empower developers to leverage their preferred tools while effectively reducing the expenses associated with scaling their applications. Within this framework, an aggregator functions similarly to a node on Ethereum, allowing client software to execute remote procedure calls (RPCs) through a standardized API to interact with an Arbitrum chain. This aggregator plays a crucial role by transmitting these calls to the EthBridge and returning the results of transactions to the client, reflecting the behavior of a conventional Ethereum node. Although it's common for clients to route their transactions through an aggregator when engaging with an Arbitrum chain, this is not strictly necessary. The architecture permits an unlimited number of aggregators to be created, and there are no restrictions on who can act as an aggregator. To optimize processing efficiency, aggregators often merge several client transactions into a single submission to the Arbitrum chain. Moreover, the Arbitrum ecosystem includes a specialized Sequencer capable of organizing transactions, which leads to rapid transaction confirmations with minimal latency. This groundbreaking arrangement not only enhances overall throughput but also cultivates an adaptable environment where developers can explore and innovate without the constraints of high costs, ultimately promoting greater experimentation within the blockchain space. By providing such flexibility, layer 2 solutions are poised to significantly transform the landscape of decentralized applications.

    Deliberately misleading scammers

    Date: Apr 15 2023
    Summary

    Terrible.

    Arbitrum is the WORST blockchain support and bridge I have ever used and I consider them a bunch of scammers.

    Positive

    Can't think of any sorry... errr they have a cool logo? And they generated lots of hype with their airdrop (but then I read news they stole the token without waiting for the DAO vote?)..

    Negative

    There bridge deliberately misleads you into bridging unsupported assets so they can lock up your tokens for 7 days for their benefit and get more transactions and gas fees on their blockchain.

    I checked their official bridge https://bridge.arbitrum.io/ and it clearly allowed me to bridge agEUR as the token appeared in their drop down list.

    However, after paying high gas fees, they sent me the WRONG token.

    I contacted their support initially on Discord who are SUPER RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL and UNFRIENDLY and told me to raise a ticket on https://bridge.arbitrum.io/

    I raised a ticket but again the support basically called me an idiot and were SUPER RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL and UNFRIENDLY and would not help.

    They kept closing my ticket so I re-opened it as my issue was not resolved - their bridge which shows agEUR in their list of bridgeable tokens had sent me a worthless token on Arbitrum blockchain.

    They simply banned my account.
