Arbitrum (ARB) requires a clear process if you want long-term results. Layer 2 assets are adoption-sensitive and can rerate quickly on network growth or stall when usage fades. Alpha Factory classifies Arbitrum as high risk. Use this framework to stay consistent through volatility rather than reacting to short-term noise.
