Arbitrum, Ethereum’s leading Layer 2 network, has kicked off its major Nitro upgrade, in a bid to further bolster the scalability of the Layer 2 (L2) rollup network.
On Aug. 31, Arbitrum started the process of migrating the Arbitrum One chain to Arbitrum Nitro. The upgrade began at 10:30 AM New York time and is expected to take two to four hours to complete.
