Common challenges of Arbitrum digital payments

Limited merchant acceptance

Arbitrum is built for fast, affordable crypto transactions, but most merchants still don’t accept it directly. This limits its real-world utility for everyday expenses like groceries, transportation, or streaming services. As a result, Arbitrum often ends up idle in wallets unused for the very purpose it was designed to fulfill: seamless, onchain spending.

High costs via traditional Off-Ramps

Arbitrum’s blockchain offers near-zero transaction fees, but when users must convert ARB to fiat via centralized exchanges, they face high off-ramp fees, poor conversion rates, and added steps. This reduces the value of each transaction and discourages regular use.

Complex and frictional payment flows

Without native Arbitrum payment integrations, spending crypto involves unnecessary friction: token swaps, bridging, and third-party tools. What should be a one-click crypto payment with Arbiturm becomes a complicated workflow, creating poor UX and slowing mainstream adoption.

Reduced adoption

Even user-friendly blockchains like Arbitrum hit adoption barriers when users can't pay for everyday products and services. If people can’t easily spend ARB on rides, bills, or mobile data, they’ll stop using or holding it slowing down ecosystem growth.

Increased costs

Arbitrum on-chain fees are near-zero, but the real friction is spend. Token swaps, bridges, and fiat off-ramps all add layers of fees and complexity. The result? Users lose value, and merchants lose interest in accepting crypto.

Frustrating user experience

Let’s be real: no one wants a 10-step process to buy mobile data. Complex payment flows kill utility and discourage everyday use. Without simple, real-world Arbitrum payments, the experience feels broken.
