TREE NEWS update: Arbitrum is replacing Timeboost with per-transaction priority auctions. Under the new mechanism, priority fees and paid Fast Feed subscriptions direct 97% of proceeds to the DAO treasury and 3% to the Arbitrum Developer Guild. The change shifts how transaction ordering revenue is collected and distributed on the network.
Arbitrum Replaces Timeboost With Per-Transaction Priority Auctions
The shift from Timeboost to per-transaction priority auctions changes who captures ordering value on Arbitrum, and the 97/3 split toward the DAO and Developer Guild makes that value a recurring treasury line rather than an operator or searcher margin. That matters for projects and traders whose economics depend on latency and inclusion, since priority now gets priced per transaction instead of through a bundled subscription. Whether the auction format actually deepens demand for priority, and how Fast Feed subscriptions coexist with it, is the open question to watch.
