Is Arbitrum a potential rival to ETH 2.0 and Alonzo?

Arbitrum is a new open-source cryptocurrency platform that is being created by Offchain Labs. It is compatible with Ethereum and runs on top of it. The platform is now viewed as a potential competitor of Ethereum 2.0 and Cardano’s smart contracts feature launched in the Alonzo hard fork on September 12. Arbitrum has not launched its native token yet.

The largest Ethereum transactions among the ones mentioned above carried 120,699 ETH (371,690,396 USD) to Binance, and 50,806 ETH (160,018,010 USD). Some of these transfers, though, were made without Arbitrum as a receiver and were sent by crypto exchanges to anonymous wallets or simply between anonymous crypto addresses.
