⚡️ Friends, the difference between Arbitrum and other L2s is not in the narrative but in positioning. Many people like to summarize a chain in one sentence: Base is social + Meme, zkSync is zk future, Optimism is public goods.

But Arbitrum is precisely the one that is hardest to summarize in a single sentence. The reason is simple: its positioning is not about storytelling but about infrastructure.

Arbitrum has chosen an engineering-first approach: Optimistic Rollup, full EVM compatibility, multi-client validation, Orbit framework. These may not sound glamorous, but they minimize migration costs for developers and keep risks under control.

In comparison, it does not rely on a single traffic entry point like Base, nor does it bet on immature technical paths like zk systems. Compared to Optimism, it is more flexible in modularization and custom chains, with a higher degree of decentralization.

The core strategy of Arbitrum can be summarized in one sentence: not betting on short-term trends, but serving long-term needs.

This makes it more like Ethereum’s industrial backbone rather than an application chain chasing hot trends. When market sentiment wanes, the chains that truly survive are often those that do not rely on stories to sustain themselves.
