Currently, there are 1.16 billion tokens in the distribution, which is 11.6% of the total supply of 10 billion tokens. Another 113 million coins can be claimed by some DAOs in the Arbitrum ecosystem.
According to Dune Analyticsat the time of writing, 9761 addresses received a total of 19,439,625 ARB tokens.
Due to the influx of users, the Arbitrum Foundation websites and the Arbiscan on-chain browser are temporarily unavailable.
Due to too many visits, the ARB collection page, arbiscan, etc. were down and could not be opened. The current ARB current price is about $2.5, and the price fluctuates wildly. https://t.co/go7jHExk3s pic.twitter.com/wUFpVIddtT

Due to server overload, Arbitrum representatives reminded that users have six months to receive tokens.
Remember #Arbinauts, you have 6 months to claim your tokens! Gas fees will be quite high, and there will be server congestion.
