How to Claim Arbitrum Ecosystem Token ($ARB) : Step-by-step Guide

How to Claim $ARB Token Step-by-step.

Arbitrum is a technology suite designed to scale Ethereum. You can use Arbitrum chains to do all things you do on Ethereum — use Web3 apps, deploy smart contracts, etc., but your transactions will be cheaper and faster. Their flagship product — Arbitrum Rollup — is an Optimistic rollup protocol that inherits Ethereum-level security.

Arbitrum offers multiple chains that can run in parallel. Currently, on Ethereum mainnet, there are 2 Arbitrum chains: one Arbitrum Rollup chain, called Arbitrum One, and one AnyTrust chain, called Nova. Users and developers can pick whatever suits their security or transaction cost needs.

Why Arbitrum?

  • Arbitrum Rollup and Arbitrum AnyTrust are protocols that make Ethereum transactions faster and cheaper. Developers use Arbitrum One and Arbitrum Nova, the chains that implement these protocols, respectively, to build user-friendly decentralized apps.
  • The distribution of the $ARB governance token decentralizes governance of these protocols and their respective chains, as well as any future chains the Arbitrum DAO authorizes.
  • $ARB tokens can be used to vote on Arbitrum DAO governance proposals, allowing $ARB holders to shape Arbitrum’s future together.
  • Token holders will be able to delegate their voting power to delegates.
  • To determine your airdrop eligibility, connect your wallet to the Arbitrum One network on arbitrum.foundation and follow the prompts. Claiming is live from March 23rd.
  • Those who wish to become an Arbitrum DAO delegate were supposed to submit their application before March 22nd at 12PM ET to ensure that airdrop recipients will be able to select them as a delegates when claiming their tokens.
  • To build decentralized apps on Arbitrum, check out the developer docs.
