- Arbitrum DAO earned $6.19M during the first half of 2026.
- Robinhood Chain contributed $360,000 through the Expansion Program in July.
- Arbitrum ranked first by tokenized asset deployments with 2,000 assets.
Arbitrum DAO generated $6.19 million in income during the first half of 2026, according to an unaudited Arbitrum Foundation report. Revenue came from Arbitrum One transaction fees, Timeboost, Expansion Program licensing and treasury returns.
In a Press Release by PR Newswire, the report also showed protocol revenue margins above 97%, compared with more than 90% for 2025. Meanwhile, the network processed 478 million transactions during the six months.
Arbitrum DAO Gains From Robinhood Chain Expansion
Arbitrum DAO recorded $360,000 in Expansion Program licensing fees during July. The amount represented 35% of its income that month after Robinhood Chain launched on mainnet.
Under the program, Arbitrum chains settling outside Arbitrum One and Nova return 10% of net protocol revenue. Robinhood Chain settles to Ethereum and therefore contributes through this structure.
Robinhood Chain has since recorded strong activity. Daily decentralized exchange volume exceeded $1.5 billion, while total value locked moved above $750 million.
The broader ecosystem also recorded more than $70 billion in average monthly stablecoin transfer volume. Stablecoin holders increased 40% to 10.5 million during the first half.
Arbitrum DAO also ranked first by tokenized real-world asset deployments, with more than 2,000 assets. However, Ethereum continued to lead by distributed value.
Arbitrum DAO Treasury Holds $125M in Non-ARB Assets
Arbitrum DAO held $125 million in non-ARB treasury assets at June 30. By August 17, about 9.23 billion ARB, or 92.3% of total supply, was unlocked or held by the DAO.
The remaining 770 million ARB follows the original vesting schedule, with the final release expected in March 2027.
Arbitrum DAO also reported tighter grant controls. Less than $200,000 of Foundation ecosystem grants during the period was issued upfront without milestone conditions.
