Arbitrum, the Ethereum expansion program, announced that its permission-free token bridging function will be open to all projects on October 22. This function will apply to the functions of basic ERC20 tokens and transferability on L1 and L2. Project parties or individuals deploy functions such as governance and snapshots on ERC20 tokens. Arbitrum said that the project party needs to confirm the functions to be deployed in advance, or expand from basic functions to include special functions such as governance and snapshots, and the upgrade process will be very complicated. In addition, before October 22, this function is only available to project tokens in the whitelist, and project parties can contact Arbitrum for early deployment.
