Arbitrum offers low gas fees, fast transactions, and Ethereum compatibility for building smart contracts.
The tutorial walks through creating a simple 'On-chain Guestbook' where users can submit their name and message, stored publicly on the blockchain.
Tools used include Solidity for smart contract language, Hardhat framework, MetaMask for transaction signing, and the Arbitrum Sepolia Testnet for deployment.
Steps cover setting up MetaMask, writing the smart contract, configuring Hardhat, getting RPC and Private Key, deploying to TestNet, and key takeaways on building on Arbitrum.
