Arbitrum One Hits 1 Billion Transactions, Dominates Layer 2 Market
Arbitrum One, a leading Ethereum Layer 2 solution, has achieved over 1 billion transactions since launching its mainnet in August 2021, highlighting its growing dominance in the Layer 2 sector.
According to recent data, its competitor, Base, has recorded 755 million transactions, while OP Mainnet has 347 million. Despite Base leading in daily volume, Arbitrum boasts the highest total value locked (TVL) at $2.5 billion, compared to Base’s $2.2 billion.
Developed by Offchain Labs, Arbitrum One uses optimistic rollup technology to facilitate faster and cheaper transactions secured on Ethereum. The platform includes fraud-proof mechanisms, though it remains in a developmental phase.

Offchain Labs also runs Arbitrum Nova, employing the AnyTrust protocol for enhanced off-chain data. In October 2023, it introduced Orbit, a toolkit for developers to create Layer 3 blockchains, further expanding Ethereum’s ecosystem.
With its ongoing innovations, Arbitrum is set to maintain a strong position in Ethereum scaling.
