Arbitrum
Arbitrum is the Ethereum Layer 2 rollup ecosystem from Offchain Labs. It includes Arbitrum One (general-purpose rollup secured by Ethereum), Arbitrum Nova (AnyTrust chain for high-throughput, low-cost apps), Arbitrum Sepolia (testnet), and Arbitrum Orbit (settlement framework for custom L2 / L3 chains). Developers interact via standard Ethereum JSON-RPC, the Stylus SDK for Rust / C / C++ smart contracts, the Arbitrum SDK for cross-chain messaging and bridging, and the Arbitrum Bridge for canonical asset transfer between Ethereum and Arbitrum chains.
