According to the Arbitrum Foundation, the launch of $ARB marks the evolution of Arbitrum into a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). Thus, $ARB holders will be able to decide on key decisions governing Arbitrum One and Arbitrum Nova - networks that provide faster and cheaper transactions on the Ethereum blockchain.
“Today’s launch isn’t only a milestone for Arbitrum; it’s a historic day for Ethereum scaling more broadly,” Arbitrum Foundation said in a statement. “With today’s announcement, Arbitrum has become the first EVM rollup ever to achieve the second of the three stages.”
The total circulation of $ARB will be 10 billion. A total of 56% of those tokens will be controlled by the arbitrum community - 11.5% will be distributed to the Arbitrum community, and 1.1% will be distributed to DAOs operating in the Arbitrum ecosystem. Arbitrum DAO will control the distribution of the remaining community tokens through a treasury.
The other 44% of Arbitrum's circulation will go to Offchain Labs - the firm that built Arbitrum. All investor and team tokens are subject to a 4-year lockup, with the first unlocking happening in one year and periodic unlocking throughout the next three.
Eligibility for the $ARB Airdrop
The Arbitrum Foundation and Offchain Labs worked closely with Nansen throughout the past several months to develop eligibility criteria $ARB token airdrop. They developed a point system based on various metrics of network usage.
Users of both Arbitrum One and Arbitrum Nova both received points. Moreover, early users of Arbitrum One (before Nitro) received more points. Users with three or more points are eligible for the airdrop. However, points were also deducted from users who engaged in Sybil-linked usage patterns.
You can check the point system and discover more about the eligibility criteria here.
Users who want to be part of Arbitrum's governance but do not wish to vote on-chain actively can participate passively through delegation.
Furthermore, Arbitrum included a second mechanism in the form of DAO airdrops, as a way of extending token distribution to new and infrequent users. In accordance with this, only Arbitrum projects with DAO treasuries are eligible.
“The goal of using a broad variety of criteria was recognizing that Arbitrum is home to a diversity of projects that have different KPIs and user interactions.,” Arbitrum maintained. “It is our hope and intention that by distributing tokens to Arbitrum DAOs, governance power will ultimately be shared with a broader variety of users than just those eligible for the user airdrop.”
Among the exceptions to the DAO airdrop was the inclusion of the Protocol Guild, an organization that represents the Ethereum core developers and contributors.
Arbitrum Governance With $ARB
The ARB token will only be used for protocol governance, unlike ETH, which is used to pay Ethereum (and Arbitrum) fees.
The DAO governance in Arbitrum is self-executing, which means its votes will directly effect and execute on-chain decisions without the involvement of an intermediary. The voting process requires a minimum of 21–37 days to pass before a proposal can be executed, ensuring users are given time to react to any changes.
Additionally, the Arbitrum Foundation established the Arbitrum Security Council, a 12-member multisig of ‘highly regarded community members’ that would monitor the security of the chains and can act rapidly when a vulnerability is found. At some point, the DAO can also retire the Security Council if it decides the chain no longer needs its protection.
Launching Arbitrum Orbit
The Arbitrum foundation also announced the launch of Arbitrum Orbit, a platform for developers to easily and permissionlessly create their own Layer 3 (L3) blockchains. Additionally, Arbitrum Orbit L3 chains will support Arbitrum Stylus, which allows developers to build chains in C, C++, Rust, as well as Solidity.
The Arbitrum DAO will be able to authorize additional Layer 2 chains on Ethereum, regardless of whether they are governed by $ARB, ensuring full community control of Arbitrum.
The Arbitrum One platform was upgraded to Nitro in August. Moreover, a few months ago, Arbitrum announced that ten independent institutional validators had signed up to validate the platform.
“With the tech mature and validation expanded, the next step toward decentralization is today’s launch: giving The Arbitrum Foundation and DAO ownership of the chain and the responsibility to foster and grow the Arbitrum ecosystem,” the Arbitrum Foundation said.
The community is exited with the recent announcement.
Congrats to the team, this is huge.

Ice Network Releases Whitepaper: Here’s What You Need to Know

The Whitepaper details Ice Network’s components, including tokenomics and more.
Ice Network, a mobile mining blockchain platform, has recently made its long-awaited whitepaper available to its user base, referred to as Snowmen. The whitepaper was released to the public on September 28.
🎉 Exciting news! 🎉 Our Whitepaper is now LIVE! 📄 Access it directly from the app under the news section. 📲
— Ice: Decentralized Future (@ice_blockchain) September 28, 2023
New to Ice? Our invitation page has a fresh look and is packed with all the necessary info, making it easier than ever to dive in! 🚀🤓
But that's not all! We've…
For users eager to access the document, it is available through the Android application in the news section. The protocol has further confirmed that an iOS version will be released for iPhone users soon after confirming its submission on the Appstore store, which ostensibly not yet been accepted.
The whitepaper offers a comprehensive insight into the Ice Open Network (ION), providing information about various components of this mining blockchain. These components include IceID, IceConnect, IceNet, IceVault, and IceQuery. Additionally, the whitepaper delves into the intricacies of Decentralized Community Governance and Tokenomics.
Components of Ice Network
Here’s a quick overview of the components, according to the document:
IceID: IceID is the network’s decentralized digital identity designed to bridge the gap between real-world use cases and blockchain technology. The IceID allows ION-based and other Decentralized Applications (dApps) to interact with verified and trusted users while protecting their personal identification data with enhanced security and privacy measures.
“By decentralizing key aspects of digital identity management – such as data storage and access control – users can decide which dApps can access their data, which attributes are accessed, when they are accessed, and for what purpose,” the document reads.
IceConnect: Ice Network refers to this as “Decentralized Social Media,” aiming to promote information accessibility, limit censorship, and give authority over the spread of information to users.
IceNet: This is the blockchain’s Decentralized Proxy and Content Delivery Network. IceNet was introduced to give users “digital freedom in an era of increasing censorship.” With the service, Ice users can deliver uninterrupted content with privacy. Further, IceNet offers dApps and users secure, swift, and continuous access to content.
IceVault: IceVault is the network’s Decentralized Storage, designed to offer users an alternative to traditional cloud storage providers. Ice Network wrote that the IceVault “provides an infrastructure with reduced risk of hacks, unauthorized access, or data breaches.”
IceQuery: This is the last component, the Decentralized Database, created to provide a transparent, trustworthy, and secure database system for dApps building on the ION ecosystem.
Ice Network aims to provide a comprehensive solution for dApps, data management, and digital identity by combining all components into its platform.
“By integrating these features into a single, scalable blockchain infrastructure capable of handling millions of requests per second and catering to billions of users, the Ice Open Network aims to provide a comprehensive solution for decentralized applications, data management, and digital identity. This positions ION at the forefront of a new, user-centric digital landscape,” Ice wrote.
Building on TON’s Foundation
According to the whitepaper abstract, ION is building upon the foundation of The Open Network (TON) blockchain. Its primary goal is to establish an ecosystem of decentralized services that encourage active participation and genuine content creation. This ecosystem is designed to reward contributors and foster the development of authentic content.
The release of Ice Network's whitepaper is a significant development for the Ice ecosystem, offering a detailed and transparent overview of the platform's key components and objectives.
