Uniswap Research Highlights Arbitrum's Profitability for Liquidity Providers
š„ Uniswap Bombshell: Arbitrum's Edge
New research from Uniswap has revealed that Arbitrum, an Ethereum layer 2 scaling solution, has been more profitable for liquidity providers compared to other layer 2 networks. The study found that due to Arbitrum's shorter block times, arbitrageurs pay higher fees to liquidity providers at the same gas price, and prices remain fresher. This shorter time frame translates into increased profits for liquidity providers utilizing Arbitrum.
