Arbitrum DAO accrued $6.19 million in income during the first half of 2026, according to an unaudited report released by the Arbitrum Foundation on Wednesday.
The income was generated over four income lines: Arbitrum One transaction fees; Timeboost, which auctions priority access to the network's sequencer; Expansion Program licensing fees paid by chains using Arbitrum technology; and returns from treasury management.
Gross margins across its protocol revenue topped 97%, according to the report, compared with more than 90% for 2025. The DAO also held $125 million in non-ARB (ARB) treasury assets at the end of June.
The network processed 478 million transactions during the period, around 18% of its 2.7 billion lifetime total. Average monthly stablecoin transfer volume was more than $70 billion, while stablecoin holders increased 40% to 10.5 million, and Arbitrum ranked first by tokenized real-world asset deployments, with more than 2,000 assets deployed, per the report.
"The first half of 2026 shows the Arbitrum ecosystem's financial profile broadening," Arbitrum Foundation Head of Investment Strategy Brendan Ma said in a statement shared with The Block. "The demand behind those numbers comes from the convergence of traditional finance and onchain finance that is happening today on the Arbitrum platform."
