Deep dives
Arbitrum's Origin and Evolution
Arbitrum, a role technology based on Ethereum, was developed by Off-chain Labs. The project was initiated in 2014, even before the launch of Ethereum, with the goal of addressing the scaling problem of smart contracts. In 2017, Off-chain Labs picked up the project and started building it as an academic endeavor. Gradually, it gained momentum, raised funding, and became a full-fledged company. Today, Arbitrum is a live, decentralized solution that provides scalability to Ethereum while maintaining security and decentralization.
