Layer 2 scaling solution<\/a><\/strong>. Arbitrum employs <a href=https://www.bitdegree.org/"https:////www.bitdegree.org//crypto//learn//crypto-terms//what-is-optimistic-rollup/">optimistic rollups<\/strong><\/a> and relies, as well as relies on Ethereum compatibility and security. However, compared to Ethereum, Arbitrum has <strong>lower fees<\/strong>. Besides, it is <strong>more scalable, faster, and has higher throughput<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It's also worth noting that <strong>Arbitrum has a<\/strong> <strong>dynamic <a href=https://www.bitdegree.org/"https:////www.bitdegree.org//crypto//learn//crypto-terms//what-is-defi/">DeFi/a> ecosystem<\/strong> that consists of various tools, decentralized applications (dApps), and so on.<\/p>\n<p><em>To see the current ARB price, check out the Arbitrum price chart above.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Use Cases of ARB Tokens<\/h2>\n<p><strong>ARB is the native governance token of Arbitrum<\/strong>. As the platform shifted its governance to the community and became a <a href=https://www.bitdegree.org/"https:////www.bitdegree.org//crypto//learn//crypto-terms//what-are-decentralized-autonomous-organizations-dao/">decentralized autonomous organization (DAO)<\/strong><\/a>, the Arbitrum token became means of providing community members with voting rights. They can vote on a variety of things, including upcoming features, Arbitrum upgrades, electing a Security Council, fund distribution, and so on. Besides, ARB token holders can also <strong>make their own proposals<\/strong> for various changes.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, ARB tokens can be staked to <strong>generate rewards and secure the network<\/strong>. Though, do note that ARB cannot be used to cover network fees. Instead, Arbitrum fees are covered using <a href=https://www.bitdegree.org/"https:////www.bitdegree.org//crypto//buy-ethereum-eth/">ETH/strong>/a> or other tokens based on the <a href=https://www.bitdegree.org/"https:////www.bitdegree.org//crypto//learn//crypto-terms//what-is-erc-20/">ERC-20/strong>/a> token standard.<\/p>\n<p><em>If you plan to acquire ARB crypto assets, make sure to analyze the Arbitrum price chart beforehand.
