Arbitrum proposes paid Fast Feed for early transaction data access

**Arbitrum may monetize transaction-ordering data via Fast Feed**

Arbitrum governance is debating a proposal for a paid subscription service, **Fast Feed**, giving earlier access to ordered transaction metadata on Arbitrum One.

The feed would deliver sequencer-ordered transaction data before it hits the standard public channel.
Access would be authenticated via API key and paid through an on-chain contract.

Subscribers could include market makers, MEV searchers, and latency-sensitive DeFi protocols.
The proposal states the feed won’t change transaction priority, inclusion guarantees, or fees — only reveal ordering sooner.

97% of revenue would go to **ArbitrumDAO**, 3% to the Arbitrum Developer Guild.
The aim: create a sustainable ecosystem income stream from sequencer-adjacent data.

The AIP is still under discussion on the Arbitrum Governance Forum.
If adopted, it would mark a shift toward monetizing specialized network data as part of layer-2 economics.
