Risk factors
Key risk factors for ARB: competitive pressure from other chains and L2s, validator/sequencer centralisation; large remaining unlock schedule — token-emission schedule is the dominant near-term flow risk. Sizing should reflect the principal's tolerance for these risks; the DeFi Intel research desk views ARB risk as commensurate with its category mean.
