What people use it for
Arbitrum Nova in practice.
Arbitrum Nova is an AnyTrust chain for apps needing higher throughput and lower costs than a full rollup, at the cost of some decentralisation.
- Swaps and transfers across the apps on the chain
- Bridging in and out from Ethereum and other networks
- Gas paid on every transaction

Good to know
Arbitrum Nova specifics.
- On Arbitrum Nova you use the same 0x address as on Ethereum. The transactions are separate, though, so the address needs adding for Arbitrum Nova as well.
- Arbitrum Nova is an Ethereum layer 2. Bridging ETH or tokens from Ethereum moves your own assets, so HashBooks records it as a transfer with the original cost carried over, not a sale.
- Arbitrum Nova is an alternative to Arbitrum One that uses the AnyTrust protocol, which adds a Data Availability Committee (DAC) as an extra trust assumption. The DAC stores, batches and posts child chain transaction data.
- Nova is a child chain on Ethereum and is connected to the Ethereum mainnet.
- Contract address links on the Arbitrum useful addresses page point to nova.arbiscan.io.

Questions
Arbitrum Nova, answered.
Is bridging to Arbitrum Nova taxable?
Moving your own crypto to Arbitrum Nova through a bridge is generally not a sale, because you still own it. Watch for bridges that swap the token on the way: receiving a different asset can be a disposal. HashBooks matches the two sides when both addresses are connected.
Are Arbitrum Nova gas fees tax deductible?
It depends on your country. In the US and UK a fee paid on a trade usually becomes part of its cost or reduces proceeds; in India only the cost of acquisition is deductible. HashBooks applies the rule for the country you file in.

Connecting Arbitrum Nova and seeing an estimated tax summary is free for up to 100 transactions across 3 connections. Filing reports for your country start on the Starter plan; see pricing.
Can HashBooks move anything from my Arbitrum Nova address?
No. A public address shows history but can’t sign anything, and HashBooks never asks for a recovery phrase or private key. It reads; it can’t trade, withdraw or transfer.
