How to Swap Tokens on Arbitrum

This blog post offers a clear, step-by-step guide for swapping assets on Arbitrum. In the multi-chain crypto ecosystem, it's vital to navigate effectively. Let's dive in and explore how Jumper can be your compass in the vast sea of DeFi.

What is Arbitrum?

Arbitrum is a Layer 2 scaling solution for the Ethereum blockchain that powers fast smart contract transactions while reducing transaction costs, even more so after the new Ethereum Dencun upgrade. Layer 2 solutions can scale the base Layer 1 blockchain by delegating complex computational tasks, such as transaction processing and data storage to the second chain. In short, the Layer 2 blockchain executes the smart contract, and the Layer 1 blockchain stores the data. In the context of Ethereum, Arbitrum handles blockchain transaction processing and batching, reducing congestion and cost from the main network.

What are Swaps?

Token swapping, a key feature of decentralized exchanges, enables the seamless exchange of different assets. Whether you're trading ETH for DAI or any other ERC-20 token, this process is known for its swiftness and cost-effectiveness. In order to swap tokens on Arbitrum, you will need native gas tokens. ETH is Arbitrum’s native currency and is used to pay transaction gas fees. Before you initiate a swap, make sure you have enough ETH to pay the transaction fees.
