Arbitrum One

The L2 with the deepest DeFi liquidity. 0.25-second blocks and permissionless fraud proofs (Stage 1).

Arbitrum One is the optimistic rollup Offchain Labs opened in August 2021. It is regarded as the L2 with the deepest DeFi liquidity — lending, derivatives and exchanges.

The Nitro upgrade in 2022 raised its performance, the ARB governance token followed in 2023, and BoLD brought permissionless validation in 2025. Blocks come about every 0.25 seconds.
