Making smart contracts private and scalable

The Arbitrum Technology

Scalable

Running an Arbitrum contract is only a few times the cost of a simple payment transaction. Unlike Ethereum, the cost is fixed regardless of how much code, storage or computation the contract uses. 

Private

Nobody other than the participants of a contract can see its code or its internal state. Only the public actions of a contract, such as payments it makes, are visible to the world.

Simple

Developers and users get the privacy and low cost of an off-chain solution with the simplicity and security of an on-chain solution.
