Launch a DAO on Arbitrum and build a thriving ecosystem of protocols, assets and applications.
Arbitrum is a second layer accumulator for Ethereum. with Over $7 billion total value unlocked With 55% L2 market share, Arbitrum is the most popular L2 solution in the industry.
Arbitrum's market-leading, battle-tested technology makes Ethereum more accessible with lower gas costs and faster transactions. Its security is inherited from Ethereum, a time-tested solution for your DAO and its assets.
Deploy your DAO on Arbitrum using the standard DAO framework, Aragon OSXOr without code Aragon application today!
Arbitrum is by far the most adopted aggregator in the EVM ecosystem, both in terms of TVL and protocols launched on the network. In addition to being home to influential multi-chain projects like Stargate, Arbitrum has catalyzed many exciting local projects like GMX, Tenderize, and Plutus. We are excited to join this vibrant ecosystem.

The Ethereum mainnet has the most access to liquidity and the highest level of security, but it also has high gas costs and slow transaction times. These barriers lead people to choose off-chain solutions, which loses some of the advantages of deploying them on the blockchain.
Arbitrum solves operation and management problems on the Ethereum mainnet. It gives you the scalability you need to run your own DAO, without sacrificing security. Transactions are much cheaper, so the cost of votes and actions is much lower. Connecting assets to Arbitrum is simple, so you can access the liquidity you need.
Think of Arbitrum as a starting point to access the entire Ethereum world!
Save DAO resources and increase voter turnout with lower gas costs
Arbitrum transactions represent just a fraction of the cost of using the mainnet, which can save significant resources for your DAO. Setting up and running a DAO requires multiple onchain transactions, all of which cost fees. When publishing on Arbitrum, your DAO can save money because actions like casting votes, adding new members, and sending assets will cost much less.
Lower gas costs have another major advantage: They can help increase voter turnout. When members don't have to pay gas fees, they are more likely to participate in votes. Higher voter turnout also increases governance security, because it ensures that more DAO members will ensure that proposals are consistent with the DAO.
You can reduce the time spent administering and managing your DAO with faster transactions
Transactions on Arbitrum are settled much more quickly than on Ethereum, saving you and your members time. Arbitrum processes about 40,000 transactions per second (TPS), while Ethereum only processes about 20-40 transactions. This means you don't have to wait the standard 9 minutes for every transaction to settle on the mainnet to get to your next task. Instead of waiting for your transaction to be confirmed, you can get back to building.
Inherited security from Ethereum and time-tested solution
One of the main reasons to deploy a DAO on the mainnet is security. But with Arbitrum, you don't have to sacrifice security to gain scalability, because Accumulator inherits the security of Ethereum.
If any fraud is detected, it can be verified and then punished on Ethereum. Therefore, you can have peace of mind that your DAO and its assets are safe.
The complete EVM equation makes the building process easy
If you are building a custom DAO on Aragon OSx, you can deploy to Arbitrum without making technical modifications. Developers can move from the Ethereum mainnet to Arbitrum with minimal modifications, making building on Arbitrum fast and easy!
Arbitrum and Aragon have one main thing in common: building technology that opens the doors to Ethereum and makes on-chain actions achievable for all users.
Aragon and Arbitrum have a shared vision of bringing the world to Ethereum through accessible portals. Arbitrum's technology stack serves as the gateway to Ethereum, and Aragon's easy-to-use DAO technology stack makes it possible for anyone to create a DAO.
As the industry converges on Ethereum as the core infrastructure for a thriving ecosystem at the top, value and resources need not be fragmented across layer-one chains that all serve different purposes. Instead, with the thriving Layer 2 ecosystem and Arbitrum at the forefront, assets and value will be accumulated on the same underlying layer. Ethereum's secure, decentralized technology supports revolutionary protocols and applications that will change the world.
