Arbitrum has more than 625,000 eligible addresses, making it one of the most popular rollups on the Ethereum network. 

In light of the recent airdrop announcement, the network has experienced a substantial increase in DeFi liquidity, with DeFi Llama reporting a new peak of nearly $2 billion in total deposits on DeFi platforms on the network.

These impressive metrics signal a growing interest in Arbitrum, as more users recognize the network's potential to handle high transaction volumes and provide faster and cheaper transactions compared to the Ethereum mainnet.

Twitter is full of experts who have already given their valuable opinions on the price of Arbitrum tokens. Analysts on Twitter anticipated that $ARB will hit $1, assuming a $10.5 billion $OP FDV, a 12% $ARB circulation, and a $1.6 billion TVL.

However, Silto forecasted a price range of $0.68 to $1.02 based on an equal market cap or FDV. When TVL is included, the figures may rise to $1.26 and $1.88, respectively.

Other than governance, there aren't many applications for $ARB coins currently. As a result, the Arbitrum Foundation's capacity to improve usefulness in the real world is critical to $ARB's future.

Arbitrum is a layer-2 scaling solution for the Ethereum blockchain network. It is intended to improve Ethereum transaction speed and scalability by offloading them to a distinct network layer, also known as a rollup. 

You can use Arbitrum chains to accomplish anything you can do with Ethereum, such as run Web3 apps and install smart contracts, but your transactions will be cheaper and quicker. Arbitrum Rollup, the team's flagship project, is an Optimistic roll-up protocol with Ethereum-level security.
