Arbitrum DAO accrued $6.19 million in income during the first half of 2026, according to an unaudited report released by the Arbitrum Foundation. The network reported gross margins on protocol revenue above 97%, higher than more than 90% in 2025.

The income came from four lines, including Arbitrum One transaction fees, Timeboost auctions for priority access to the sequencer, Expansion Program licensing fees paid by chains using Arbitrum technology, and returns from treasury management. Arbitrum also said it held $125 million in non-ARB treasury assets at the end of June.

During the period, Arbitrum processed 478 million transactions, about 18% of its 2.7 billion lifetime total. Average monthly stablecoin transfer volume was more than $70 billion, stablecoin holders increased 40% to 10.5 million, and the network ranked first by tokenized real-world asset deployments with more than 2,000 assets deployed.

Robinhood Chain, built using Arbitrum’s technology stack, launched on mainnet on July 1. That month, Expansion Program licensing fees brought in $360,000 and represented 35% of Arbitrum DAO income, as reported by The Block, with the program requiring certain Arbitrum chains to return 10% of net protocol revenue.
