Launch a DAO on Arbitrum and create a thriving ecosystem of protocols, assets and applications.
Arbitrum is a Layer 2 rollup that scales Ethereum. With over $7 billion in total value locked and with 55% of the L2 market share, Arbitrum is the most popular L2 solution in the industry.
Arbitrum’s market-leading and battle-tested technology makes Ethereum more accessible with lower gas costs and faster transactions. Its security is inherited from Ethereum and is a proven solution for your DAO and assets.
Deploy your DAO on Arbitrum using the modular DAO framework, Aragon OSxor no-code Aragon application today!
Arbitrum is by far the most adopted rollup in the EVM ecosystem, both in terms of TVL and protocols launched on the network. In addition to hosting impactful multi-chain projects like Stargate, Arbitrum has powered many interesting native projects like GMX, Tenderize, and Plutus. We are excited to join such a vibrant ecosystem.

The Ethereum mainnet has the greatest access to liquidity and the greatest security, but it also has high gas costs and slow transaction times. These barriers lead people to choose off-chain solutions, which lose some of the advantages of being implemented on a blockchain.
Arbitrum solves operation and governance issues on the Ethereum mainnet. It gives you the scalability you need to run your DAO, without sacrificing security. Transactions are significantly cheaper, so votes and shares cost much less. And linking assets to Arbitrum is easy, so you can access the liquidity you need.
Think of Arbitrum as your starting point to access the entire world of Ethereum!
Save DAO resources and increase voter turnout with lower gas costs
Arbitrum transactions are just a fraction of the cost of using the mainnet, which can save your DAO significant resources. Creating and running a DAO requires multiple on-chain transactions, all of which cost fees. When deployed on Arbitrum, your DAO can save funds because actions like casting votes, adding new members, and sending assets will cost significantly less.
Lower gas costs have another key advantage: They can help increase voter turnout. When members don’t have to pay gas fees, they are more likely to participate in voting. Higher voter participation also increases governance security, because it ensures that more DAO members ensure that proposals are aligned with the DAO.
Reduce time spent on DAO administration and governance with faster transactions
Transactions on Arbitrum settle much faster than on Ethereum, saving you and your members time. Arbitrum processes around 40,000 transactions per second (TPS), while Ethereum only processes between 20 and 40. This means that you don’t have to wait the standard 9 minutes for each mainnet transaction to settle before moving on to your next task. Instead of waiting for your transaction to be confirmed, you can build again.
Inherit Ethereum security and a time-tested solution
One of the main reasons to implement a DAO on the mainnet is security. But with Arbitrum, you don’t need to sacrifice security for scalability, because the rollup inherits the security of Ethereum.
If any fraud is detected, it can be verified and then penalized in Ethereum. Therefore, you can have peace of mind knowing that your DAO and assets are safe.
Full EVM Equivalence Makes Construction Easier
If you are creating a custom DAO on Aragon OSx, you can deploy it to Arbitrum without making any technical modifications. Developers can migrate from the Ethereum mainnet to Arbitrum with minimal modifications, making building on Arbitrum quick and easy!
Arbitrum and Aragon have one key thing in common: developing technology that opens the doors to Ethereum and makes on-chain actions accessible to all users.
Both Aragon and Arbitrum have a shared vision of bringing the world to Ethereum through more accessible gateways. Arbitrum’s accumulated technology serves as a gateway to Ethereum, and Aragon’s easy-to-use DAO technology stack makes it possible for anyone to create a DAO.
With the industry converging on Ethereum as the base infrastructure for a thriving ecosystem at the top, value and resources do not have to be fragmented into Layer 1 chains that serve different purposes. Instead, with the thriving ecosystem of Layer 2 and Arbitrum at the helm, assets and value will accumulate on the same base layer. Ethereum’s secure, decentralized technology underpins revolutionary protocols and applications that will change the world.
