About Arbitrum Foundation

The Arbitrum Foundation is dedicated to scaling Ethereum through cutting-edge Layer 2 solutions. Our flagship product, Arbitrum One, an Optimistic Rollup, enables faster, more affordable transactions while maintaining Ethereum’s security and decentralization. We empower developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) that are both scalable and secure, using Arbitrum chains, which offer flexibility in performance and cost. Our mission is to enhance the Ethereum ecosystem and drive the adoption of Web3 technology by delivering high-performance, open-source blockchain solutions. Arbitrum is already the leading Ethereum scaling solution with hundreds of dApps on the platform and over $13bn TVL.

At the Arbitrum Foundation, we value decentralization, innovation, and community. We are committed to shaping the future of decentralized finance and blockchain technology, and we’re looking for passionate individuals to help us build the next generation of the Web.
