Some 23,000 individual wallets claimed the airdrop, representing 3% of all eligible wallets.
ARB has a total supply of 10 billion, according to technical documents. It traded at just over $1.30 at the time of this writing on Thursday.
Arbitrum's website and blockchain scanner was down ahead of the ARB token claim event amid massive interest from token users. "This Serverless Function was rate limited," a prompt on the site stated.
The long-awaited Arbitrum token made its market debut Thursday, trading at $3.99 on Uniswap as volatility spiked on decentralized exchanges.
