How to claim Arbitr tokens the fastest

It is clear that we cannot overtake the script cockerels, but if you have one "honest" account, then this method will minimize the gags that, for obvious reasons, arise when claim drops of this scale.

Step 1. Configure your RPC Network as an Arbitrator in our Metamask:

Why do I need my own RPC?

To use it when the public RPC is lagging/buggy and so on. As it happened for example with Optimism

What kind of RPC?

In simple words, RPC is a channel that is responsible for the “communication” of your wallet with the blockchain, or rather with the node on which the blockchain node operates.

I think everyone has encountered setting up RPC networks in a Metamask wallet, it looks something like this:

RPC of the Arbitrum network in Metamask

So, in fact, we need our own RPC URL, not the default ONE, which will be raped by thousands of cryptons, but our own, which will serve only our requests.

To do this, we go and register on alchemy — a platform for developers with a large selection of tools for creating decentralized and secure applications.

Choosing a free tariff plan

On Alchemy we choose a free tariff plan

Go to Dashboard
Click the "create app" button

Choose create app

Write the name, select the network - Arbitrum - Mainet and click Create

select the network - Arbitrum - Mainet and click Create

Then we find ourselves in the Dashboard again. Click "View Key" near the application we created. In the window that opens, copy the HTTPS address

In the window that opens, copy the HTTPS address

Go to the Metamask => Settings => Network => Hdd Network and fill in as in the screenshot. In the New RPC URL field, insert our HTTPS

In the New RPC URL field, insert our HTTPS

Great, we have set up our virgin RPC, go to step 2.

Step 2. Claim ARB tokens directly through the contract

It is better to keep track of the opening time of the stamp here. This timer is the most accurate, because the time of the stamp is not tied to the date, but to the ETH block #16890400

At the appointed hour, or better yet, a little in advance, we go to the explorer in the claim contract, go to the contract tab, click connect to Web3, connect our Metamask vallet

We connect our Metamax vallet

We open the claim field, and wait for the countdown to be completed, then immediately in the next second we click Write, confirm the transaction in the wallet and monitor the passage of our transaction, if it does not pass in the first 5-10 seconds, we throw gas. As soon as the transaction passes, the tokens are immediately sent to our exchange wallet. It is better to decide in advance on the exchange where you are going to hit the glass, and enter the replenishment address in the Metamask.
