# Protocol

1. Introduction

The Akad token, the native token of the akad.finance platform, is built on the Arbitrum Layer 2 scaling solution for the Ethereum network. By choosing Arbitrum, the akad.finance platform aims to provide an enhanced user experience and overcome some of the challenges associated with the Ethereum network. This document outlines the main reasons for using Arbitrum for the Akad token and the advantages it brings to the platform and its users.

2. Scalability

One of the primary reasons for using Arbitrum is its ability to increase transaction throughput. Ethereum's network congestion and limited transaction capacity can result in slow and expensive transactions, which can negatively impact the user experience on DeFi platforms. Arbitrum enables the Akad token to process more transactions per second, reducing network congestion and enhancing the platform's scalability.

3. Lower Gas Fees

Ethereum's high gas fees can be a significant barrier to entry for users, especially during times of peak network usage. By leveraging Arbitrum, the Akad token benefits from reduced gas fees, making transactions more cost-effective for users. This allows the akad.finance platform to be more accessible and appealing to a broader user base.

4. Enhanced Security

Arbitrum's security model relies on the Ethereum network, ensuring that the Akad token and the akad.finance platform inherit the same level of security as the base layer. This security model helps protect users and their assets from potential vulnerabilities and attacks.

5. Easier Integration with Ethereum Ecosystem

By building the Akad token on Arbitrum, the akad.finance platform can easily integrate with the broader Ethereum ecosystem, including decentralized applications (dApps), wallets, and other infrastructure components. This compatibility enables seamless interactions between the Akad token and other Ethereum-based tokens and DeFi protocols.

6. Faster Transactions

In addition to improving scalability, Arbitrum's off-chain computation allows for faster transaction processing compared to on-chain transactions on the Ethereum network. Users of the Akad token can enjoy quicker transaction confirmations, which can be particularly beneficial for time-sensitive activities such as trading or arbitrage.

7. Conclusion

By using the Arbitrum Layer 2 scaling solution for the Akad token, the akad.finance platform can address some of the key challenges associated with the Ethereum network, such as limited scalability, high gas fees, and slow transactions. By leveraging Arbitrum's benefits, the Akad token can provide an enhanced user experience, greater accessibility, and seamless integration with the broader Ethereum ecosystem, making it an attractive choice for users seeking a Shariah-compliant native token within the DeFi space.
