The great news! A new ambitious crypto exchange XGo listed Arbitrum (ARB) following the recent ARB airdrop. XGo added an ARB/USDT pair for spot trading. The ARB withdrawals will be opened on March 27, 2023, at 5 PM (UTC).
What Is Arbitrum (ARB)?
Arbitrum is a blockchain aimed at solving the Ethereum scalability issues so that Ethereum users save money via lower transaction fees. Arbitrum is a sidechain, so it is attributed to a Layer 2 solution and is based on roll-up technology. Ethereum doesn't have to verify these transactions as Arbitrum operates off-chain transactions decreasing the Ethereum blockchain's load. It minimizes both the fees and the transaction processing time.
People have been talking about the Ethereum scalability issues for years, but the problem persists. Instead of "killing" Ethereum (like many Ethereum clones aimed at repeating its good qualities and avoiding its pitfalls), Arbitrum offered medicine for its disease. No wonder the effective solution introduced by Atbitrum turned heads, and the project started booming.
Enhanced with Arbitrum, Ethereum becomes a more comfortable platform for building scalable, quick, and cheap in use apps on top. Apart from regular transactions, Arbitrum's sidechain can execute smart contracts. It means that all the smart contracts-related operations get cheap and fast, improving the overall performance of the DeFi platforms, NFT markets, etc. The long-promised benefits of Ethereum can finally be embodied.
More than that, Arbitrum is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). So, the developers using Solidity will be able to write software that can run on Ethereum using Arbitrum. Apps built for Ethereum and Arbitrum can migrate between the two blockchains. On top of all these benefits, Atrbitrum has a simple and clear interface. We shouldn't underestimate that.
The eponymous base currency of the Arbitrum blockchain (ARB) has been prominent in the perpetual trading phase, propelling the crypto to a broad audience of eager investors. The March airdrop became the second strong driver behind the ARB's success. March 23, 2023, is the day when the coin went live.
What Is XGo?
XGo is a crypto platform combining the features of an exchange, multi-currency crypto wallet, staking and swapping platform, etc. According to the company website, XGo is a neobank striving to make cryptocurrencies easy and valuable for the general public.
The project is very young, but the team does a good job of reaching its goals. XGo has several unique features. For instance, its Superfluid Staking system is special because it doesn't require users to lock their staked funds. Another nice feature is that it allows crypto-to-fiat and fiat-to-crypto swaps. More features are set to come.
