Arbitrum (ARB) had a rough couple of weeks following its community airdrop that saw around 1 billion tokens airdropped to active participants on the layer 2 blockchain. However, there is already a turn in the tide as the crypto market has recovered and ARB has emerged as one of the strongest performers in the space.<\/p>\n

Arbitrum Becomes A Force To Be Reckoned With<\/h2>\n

Unlike a good number of Layer 2 blockchains which have seen their volumes decline after being in the spotlight for a while, Arbitrum has not let up. In fact, the blockchain has begun to rival Ethereum, the Layer 1 blockchain it is built on top of, in terms of volume.<\/p>\n

On Monday, data from DeFiLlama revealed that Arbitrum actually saw more volume than Ethereum in a 24-hour period. Now, this didn\u2019t last for long as Ethereum would retake its position once more. But it helped to solidify Arbitrum\u2019s place as a force to be reckoned with in the space.<\/p>\n

Likewise, Arbitrum has also seen the number of accounts on the network reach a new milestone. As of Monday, the total number of ARB wallet addresses on the L2 crossed 5 million. Interestingly, the large majority of these addresses are classified as active addresses.<\/p>\n

This Dune Analytics dashboard shows that there are 4.237 million active addresses on the network which have carried out almost 200 million transactions. Furthermore, the number of contracts that have been created on the L2 has crossed 2 million. These metrics make Arbitrum the most active of all of the L2s.

In accordance with its rising usage and volume, the ARB price has enjoyed success in the market recently. After trending between $1.1 and $1.3 for the better part of the prior week, the digital asset saw a surge in momentum which pushed it above the $1.7 resistance level.<\/p>\n
