I’ve gotten some questions about how Orbit chains accrue value to the Arbitrum DAO. L3s on Arbitrum One pay settlement fees to Arbitrum One, so there’s no explicit fee. All other Orbit chains (e.g. L2s on Ethereum, L3s on Base) share 10% of their onchain revenue with the DAO. Where does this money go? It’s fully transparent and onchain. 80% of it goes to the DAO’s onchain treasury directly controlled by the tokenholders. 20% goes to the Arbitrum Developer Guild to support development of the protocol. The fact that the revenue goes to a community-controlled onchain treasury is unique to Arbitrum.
