L2s have been talking about sustainable economics for years, but @arbitrum Timeboost is one of the few upgrades that actually delivers on the concept. Timeboost isn’t “all talk and no action”. It went from generating $2,491 in DAO revenue on day 1 to becoming one of the top revenue streams on @arbitrum, with a cumulative revenue of 1,570 $ETH. That’s almost $5M in just 7 months! — Current projections put revenue at ~$10M annually if activity stays stable, but the Foundation estimates $19M to $95M, depending on MEV intensity and bidder competition. The point isn’t to give one entity full control. It’s to turn the race for priority into structured, bid-based competition that actually benefits the chain by: • Capturing a portion of MEV for the DAO • Reducing latency wars and spam • Making sequencing economically sound. In my opinion, it’s one of the strongest economic upgrades @arbitrum has shipped so far. Not for hype, but for how it changes MEV, sequencing, and protocol-level revenue. There are still a few pressure points, but the macro signal is clear: • Arbitrum now captures a slice of MEV that used to leak entirely to private searchers. • Priority gets monetised without wrecking UX. • The DAO gets a recurring revenue stream with zero dilution. If anything, Timeboost is the clearest signal that Arbitrum isn’t just scaling Ethereum, it’s also scaling its own economics.
