What is Arbitrum (ARB)?
It is like a super-efficient lane for Ethereum. It's a separate network that works alongside Ethereum but processes transactions in a timely manner and at a fraction of the cost. This is possible because it uses a technology called "optimistic rollups."

Why do people buy ARB?
ARB is the native token. People buy and hold ARB for a few reasons:
Governance

Potential rewards
Sometimes ARB tokens are given out to users as a reward for participating in the network. It's like getting a free pizza slice for being a loyal customer.
Future value
If more and more people start using it, the demand for ARB could increase, potentially driving up its price although the value can fall as fast as it can rise.
How does Arbitrum work?
Bundle Up: Arbitrum takes a bunch of Ethereum transactions and bundles them into one big group.
Off to the Races: This bundle is sent over to Arbitrum, where it's processed super quickly and in a cost-effective manner.
Back to Ethereum: The results of those transactions are then sent back to Ethereum, where they're officially recorded.
