The Arbitrum ($ARB) airdrop arrives in just under a week, see if you are eligible for an airdrop
Arbitrum, the layer-2 rollup network of Ethereum just announced the date for the long-rumoured $ARB airdrop. As we now have official confirmation of the date that the airdrop goes live we can start to get a better idea of how much the airdrop will be and the tokenomics surrounding the coin.
The block 50642080 on Feb 6th was the Arbitrum snapshot date and $ARB will be the token airdropped to eligible wallets. 1.162B tokens out of a max of 10B will be airdropped to wallets when the timer countdown goes to 0, currently this is estimated to be 2pm UTC on 23rd Thursday. The time might vary slightly as the drop actually goes live on L1 block 16890400 so could be + or - a few hours.
