Arbitrum is expanding its sources of income from a single main network to a wider network of business chains. Stephen Goldfeder, co-founder of Offchain Labs, recently revealed that any Layer2 chain based on the Arbitrum Orbit framework would require 10 per cent of the cost of the chain to Arbitrum, in which Robin Chain was involved.

10% How costs are allocated

This share will not all enter the same pool.

  • Of which 8% entered the treasury controlled by ARB holders
  • 2% for development expenditure

This is different from the Arbitrum One arrangement. As the Arbitrum flagship Rollup, the cost of Arbitrum One would be 100 per cent to enter the treasury and no longer separate the development component.

Robinwood Chain is on the line on July 1st.

Robinhood Chain is online on July 1st. As disclosed in the original version, the chain combines the functions of tokenized stocks, chain lending and agency trading (agent trading) within the Robinwood application.

Robinhod is one of the most important deployments in the Orbit ecology, but the fee model is not only for Robinhod. The same division structure applies in principle as long as the third party uses the Orbit framework to build the Layer2 or Layer3 chain.

Arbitrum wants to integrate business chain activities into the source of income.

This means that Arbitrum ' s income no longer depends solely on Arbitrum One ' s own trading activities. As more businesses, financial platforms and applications deploy customized chains on Orbit, the Arbitrum Treasury can obtain a continuous inflow of costs from the use of these external chains.

Structurally, the Orbit chain is operated by an external team, so it is realistic to retain a portion of the development funds, while 8 per cent of the public treasury enters the business chain by linking the transactions directly to the governance assets of the ARB holders.

Orbit framework becomes an extended catcher

Orbit is a set of chain-building tools provided by Arbitrum to third parties that can be used to build customized Layer2 and Layer3 networks. Robinwood is just one of the bigger cases.

According to Goldfeder, with the introduction of warmer temperatures, Arbitrum has the opportunity to earn more from the expanding Orbit ecology. In other words, Arbitrum is moving from a single expanded network to a platform-based business that can be extracted from multiple external chains.

When Robinwood Chain came online, the original mentioned that it had led to an early rise in ETH cross-chain activities. However, the continued translation of such flows into stable cost income depends on the volume of transactions and the level of user activity in the subsequent chain.
