What is Arbitrum?
Arbitrum is a Layer 2 scaling solution that enhances Ethereum’s smart contract capabilities by improving transaction speed and scalability while reducing costs. It allows developers to run Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) contracts and transactions on a second layer while maintaining Ethereum’s security benefits.
The Arbitrum ecosystem continues to grow with various decentralized applications (dApps) and new initiatives. Users can access Arbitrum by purchasing ARB tokens on Binance or bridging assets using Rhino Bridge.
Arbitrum Campaign Details
Arbitrum has also allocated a total of 1.162 Billion ARB for airdrops. As predicted in our speculative airdrop section, they’ve concluded the first round of airdrop to various users. There will also be future airdrops to users who continue to interact with the Arbitrum ecosystem, such as interacting with dApps like Vela Exchange and GMX.
Arbitrum has introduced DRIP (DeFi Renaissance Incentive Program), a major DeFi initiative that rewards real DeFi actions on Arbitrum through leverage looping strategies.
Latest Update: Season One of DRIP has been extended by four additional weeks.
Arbitrum Launches DRIP – DeFi Renaissance Incentive Program
Season One Timeline & Budget
- Start Date: September 3, 2025
- End Date: February 17, 2026
- Duration: 24 weeks (10 two-week epochs)
- Budget: Up to 24 million ARB tokens
- Website: arbitrumdrip.com
Program Focus
Season One targets leverage looping on Arbitrum One. Users earn ARB by borrowing against eligible yield-bearing ETH and stable assets on participating lending platforms. The program follows a performance-based, protocol-agnostic approach that rewards borrow demand across multiple lending markets.
How to Participate
- Bridge Assets to Arbitrum: Move eligible assets to Arbitrum One. You can bridge assets using the bridge widget below.
- Select a Market: Visit arbitrumdrip.com to view live opportunities across participating lending protocols and assets.
- Execute Strategy:
- Deposit whitelisted yield-bearing ETH or stable assets as collateral
- Borrow ETH (WETH) or USDC against your collateral
- Swap borrowed assets for more collateral
- Repeat the loop to maximize rewards
- Claim Rewards: ARB rewards are distributed every two weeks via Merkl based on time-weighted borrow balance. Rewards remain claimable for 3 months after Season One ends.
Swap and bridge across 30+ chains without leaving this page.
Fast routes, low fees.

Important Considerations
- No signup required – any wallet can participate
- Monitor LTV and health factor limits to avoid liquidation
- Market performance affects future epoch allocations
- Use Entropy Advisors’ DRIP dashboards to track performance
- DRIP rewards don’t cover potential losses from liquidation
You can purchase ETH or USDC directly from Binance before bridging to participate in the program.

More Airdrops to Farm
- Total value: n/a
Arbitrum doesn’t have a token yet and could potentially have one in the future. There’s a chance that they may do an airdrop to users who’ve used their bridge.
- Visit the Arbitrum bridge page.
- Connect your ETH wallet.
- Now enter the amount you want to transfer from Layer 1 to Layer 2.
- Now approve the transaction.
- Also try to make transactions on dApps supported by Arbitrum, like GMX and Vela Exchange.
- You can also combine the Across speculative airdrop or Orbiter Finance speculative airdrop with Arbitrum speculative airdrop by bridging assets from Layer 1 to Arbitrum Layer 2 or vice versa using Across or Orbiter Finance.
- There is a rumor that users who’ve used their bridge functionality will get an airdrop if they introduce their own token.
- Users who complete the guild tasks and Arbitrum Adventure tasks are also likely eligible for the Arbitrum airdrop.
- Please note that there is no guarantee that they will do an airdrop and that they will launch their own token. It’s only speculation.
