## What is the Fast Feed Proposal?

Arbitrum governance is considering the Fast Feed proposal, which aims to create a paid, authenticated data streaming product for Arbitrum One. This product seeks to establish a sustainable revenue model by directing the majority of subscription income to the DAO treasury. Beyond being a technical product, it represents a protocol revenue experiment.

## Revenue Distribution

According to the proposal, 97% of Fast Feed subscription revenue will go to the Arbitrum DAO Treasury, while 3% will be allocated to the Arbitrum Developer Guild. This distribution is seen as a significant step toward self-sustainability for the DAO. Retaining the majority of revenue in the treasury aims to create resources for future ecosystem funding.

## Target Audience for Fast Feed

Fast Feed is designed for users who need faster and authenticated access to Arbitrum One data. This product could be particularly relevant for sophisticated market participants, infrastructure providers, and teams that prioritize timing, ordering, and execution visibility. However, the product does not allow any manipulation of transaction sequencing.

## MEV Concerns

Despite its ordering-neutral design, MEV (Miner Extractable Value) concerns persist with Fast Feed. Faster data access could lead to some market participants being more informed than others. Therefore, governance must be clear about access, fairness, pricing, and technical limits to address these concerns.

## DAO-Owned Infrastructure

Fast Feed serves as a small but significant example of how Layer 2 networks can monetize infrastructure. Arbitrum's proposal aims to turn infrastructure into a sustainable revenue source without compromising neutrality. If successful, this model could set a precedent for other data products and analytics services.

## Conclusion and Significance

Arbitrum's Fast Feed proposal introduces a new model for DAO self-sustainability. Directing the majority of subscription revenue to the treasury is critical for future ecosystem funding and reducing reliance on token sales. This proposal could mark an important milestone in the maturation of crypto networks.
