Chain profile
Arbitrum One
Ethereum L2 focused on low-cost EVM execution, DeFi liquidity, Orbit chains, and Stylus development.
Also available as JSON · Markdown
Resources
Best for
- DeFi applications that need low-cost EVM execution
- Appchain teams evaluating Orbit
- Rust smart-contract experimentation through Stylus
Tradeoffs
- Bridge and sequencer assumptions differ from Ethereum mainnet
- Orbit and Stylus choices add architecture-specific integration work
Build on Arbitrum One
Intents scoped to this chain, with per-chain stacks, exclusions, and risks.
- build a DeFi app on Arbitrum One — uniswap, pyth, the-graph, gelato, safe
Chain readiness
Per-chain readiness ranks how well each protocol's support on Arbitrum One is evidenced — a cited, addressed deployment outranks a protocol that only lists the chain.
