L2 narrative & revenue generation are struggling so they need to get creative.
Here's what Arbitrum came up with:
Arbitrum DAO is voting on two new revenue streams.
1. Priority Gas Auctions replaces old Timeboost: pay a higher tip, get ordered first. Same as Ethereum. Simple.
2. The Fast Feed
This one is clever.
After the sequencer orders txs, that order has real value for MEV searchers, MMs and propAMMs... so Arbitrum will sell early access to it as a subscription.
- Ordering is already final when the feed publishes, so no frontrunning or sandwiching
- ~100 tickets sold per day, price starts at $17 and changes with demand (EIP-4844 style curve)
- Anyone can subscribe, it's permissionless but paid
97% of revenue from both go to the DAO treasury, 3% to the dev guild.
Sad that the proposal gives no potential earnings but the Foundation asked the DAO for ~$43.5M to fund 2027 while the DAO made $23.49M in 2025 so they REALLY need to close that gap.
Btw, I voted Yes for the proposal.
I'd love to increase my ARB delegation so if you have ARB sitting around pls delegate to my address: 0x3DDC7d25c7a1dc381443e491Bbf1Caa8928A05B0(Ignas)
