Arbitrum
Arbitrum failover support is available for customers on the Growth or Custom plans. Arbitrum failover support is available on Mainnet only. Calls to the network are routed to partner infrastructure providers.
All calls that require access to archive data (older than 128 blocks) are handled by the DIN service. These archive calls are routed to partner infrastructure providers.
Arbitrum is an Ethereum scaling solution that provides high throughput and low-cost smart contract execution. Arbitrum's design allows it to be fully compatible with Ethereum. Building on Arbitrum is almost identical to building on Ethereum.
Arbitrum is compatible with Ethereum's JSON-RPC API implementation, which allows using tools such as Infura, Hardhat, and Ethereum wallets.
