Decentralized protocols on Ethereum’s layer-2 scaling solution, Arbitrum, have seen a surge in value locked. This comes after the much-anticipated ARB token was released through an airdrop to early adopters.
According to DeFi Llama, the total locked value (TVL) in Arbitrum has increased by more than 22% in the past week alone. As of now, Arbitrum is the fourth-largest network with a TVL of $2.18 billion, trailing behind Ethereum, Tron, and BNB Chain, and accounting for roughly 4.43% of the total value locked across all blockchains.
Taking a closer look, the decentralized exchange with the highest TVL on Arbitrum is GMX, with $502 million, followed by Uniswap’s V3 with $292 million. Interestingly, Uniswap’s trading volume on the platform has risen by around 60% in the past week.
