Introduction

Arbitrum has redefined Ethereum’s scalability as its premier layer-2 solution, offering fast, low-cost transactions while retaining Ethereum’s security. We’re excited to announce that Snowball MNS (Modular Naming Service) is now expanding to the Arbitrum ecosystem, bringing our human-readable naming solution to a network that powers billions in DeFi and NFT activity. This integration enhances Arbitrum’s user-friendly experience, making transactions simpler and identities consistent across chains.

Why Arbitrum?

‍Launched in 2021 by Offchain Labs, Arbitrum uses optimistic rollups to process transactions off-chain while leveraging Ethereum’s mainnet for security, achieving high throughput and low fees. As of November 2025, Arbitrum is the third-largest Ethereum Layer-2 by TVL, continuing to support a strong and active ecosystem.

Arbitrum’s ecosystem highlights include:

  • $2.84 billion in TVL, holding approximately 50% of all layer-2 value locked
  • 224,860 daily active users, reflecting steady engagement
  • $2.5 million in monthly revenue, driven by its role in scaling Ethereum dApps
  • 0.25-second block time, enabling near-instant transaction processing
  • Home to 1000+ active dApps, including Uniswap V3, SushiSwap, and Aave, across DeFi, NFTs, and gaming
  • Full EVM compatibility allowing seamless deployment of Ethereum application.

How Snowball MNS Enhances the Arbitrum Experience

1) Streamlined L2 Interactions

Arbitrum transactions are already fast and cost-effective. With Snowball MNS, they’re now incredibly intuitive as well. Send ETH and tokens to simple names like “@tushant” instead of complex addresses, maintaining Arbitrum’s efficiency while enhancing usability.

2) Unified Cross-Layer Identity

The Arbitrum ecosystem spans hundreds of applications across DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and more. Snowball MNS provides a consistent identity that works seamlessly across all these applications and extends beyond Arbitrum to Ethereum mainnet and other supported chains, creating true cross-layer interoperability.

3) Enhanced Security for DeFi Transactions

Arbitrum hosts billions in DeFi value across lending, trading, and yield protocols. When moving substantial assets, the stakes are high, and errors can be costly. Snowball MNS virtually eliminates address-related errors, providing an additional layer of security for Arbitrum’s thriving DeFi ecosystem.

4) GameFi and NFT Optimization

Arbitrum has become a hub for blockchain gaming and NFT projects due to its low fees and high speed. Snowball MNS enhances these experiences by providing persistent, recognizable identities that build community and simplify in-game transactions.
