Arbitrum’s Bigger Picture
Arbitrum provides users with innovative layer 2 solutions that boost the performance of Ethereum’s smart contracts. The solutions, therefore, improve the contract’s scalability and speed. Such features make Arbitrum attractive to multiple decentralized projects.

Factor DAO Gathers $4M in its Recent Token Sale
Factor represents an Arbitrum-based protocol that plans to support the development of new instruments and perform DeFi aggregation of various assets. The protocol aims to become a leading on-chain asset manager in the DeFi world, with $FCTR as its utility token. Factor announced it would conduct a public sale on Camelot from 20th to 24th February 2023.
The sale is on its second day, and Factor hopes to sell 10M $FCTR tokens on Camelot. In theory, Factor looks forward to bringing a solution where developers can create and provide yield pools and tokenized baskets to users. Investors will benefit from the developer’s offerings by earning a portion of the fees.
As of February 21, 2023, the FCTR token has a cumulative market cap of $14M, making each token worth 14 cents.
