Arbitrum Classic is the original Arbitrum Layer-2 optimistic rollup tech stack for Ethereum, implemented in Go, that powers fast and private decentralized applications. It is a legacy monorepo, as Arbitrum One was upgraded to the Nitro stack in August 2022.
Use cases
- run a legacy Arbitrum Classic node
- build dapps on the original Arbitrum rollup
- study the pre-Nitro Arbitrum validator and sequencer implementation
- maintain or migrate an app still on the classic Arbitrum stack
- research optimistic rollup execution in Go
When to choose
- you must operate or audit the legacy Arbitrum Classic chain
- you need to reference the original rollup implementation for research or migration
When to avoid
- you are building a new dapp or node on Arbitrum - use the Nitro codebase instead
- you want an actively developed Layer-2 stack
