Arbitrum just proved blockspace can pay its own bills.
Since April, TimeBoost; @arbitrum's MEV auction system has redirected 1,500 ETH (~$4.6M) straight into the DAO treasury. What used to leak out as silent arbitrage now flows back as yield.
That’s a big shift: MEV isn’t a tax anymore. It’s income.
Every block priority bid now funds the network that made it possible.
And that loop: usage → auction → treasury → grants → more usage, quietly turned Arbitrum into one of the first self-financing rollups.
This isn't emissions. This is sustainable yield baked into the protocol.

MEV used to extract value.
Now it underwrites it.
