Arbitrum Bridge
The Arbitrum Bridge acts as a secure channel connecting Ethereum's mainnet (Layer-1) with the Arbitrum Rollup (Layer-2). This bridge allows users to transfer assets, like ETH or ERC-20 tokens, between these layers
## Overview The Arbitrum Bridge is the official cross-chain gateway maintained by Offchain Labs that facilitates asset movement between Ethereum mainnet (Layer-1) and Arbitrum One (Layer-2). It serves as a critical infrastructure component in the Arbitrum ecosystem, enabling users to deposit assets into the rollup for faster transactions and lower fees, or withdraw them back to Ethereum when needed. The bridge operates on a secure, audited smart contract architecture that locks assets on Ethereum and mints corresponding representations on Arbitrum, reversing the process during withdrawals. Arb
