With USDm, MegaETH is borrowing a page from the Fed’s playbook of using seigniorage to cut costs for the US economy. What is seigniorage? Think of it this way: if it costs the U.S. Treasury just 5 cents to print a $1 bill, that leftover 95 cents is pure profit, known as seigniorage. Additionally, when central banks issue $100 of new money, they typically buy $100 worth of Treasuries. The interest earned on those Treasuries is also broadly seigniorage. This “profit” allows governments to earn revenue curbing the need to raise taxes. Ethena captures a similar form of seigniorage through its secondary digital dollar, USDtb. The stablecoin is backed ~2/3rd by BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, ~1/3rd by USDC, and a small amount by USDT. Simply by holding a majority of reserves in BUIDL, Ethena quietly generates yield. USDtb reserves have so far provided $25M in revenue to Ethena, most of it in the last 5-6 months. MegaETH’s new stablecoin, USDm, takes this concept and gives it a network-level purpose. By tapping into Ethena’s USDtb rails, USDm earns yield on its reserves too. But instead of keeping it, MegaETH plans to redirect those earnings straight into sequencer operations. The effect? MegaETH will run its sequencer at-cost, with the opportunity to leverage proceeds for the benefit of the community, Meanwhile the network builds a durable, recurring cash flow that is independent of the underlying activity on the chain. It’s exactly how central banks use seigniorage revenues to cut the tax burden. So how big could this get? USDm will be competing against USDT0 (canonical USDT) and cUSD (Capmoney) in market share. We can estimate it to capture around 7% of MegaETH’s stablecoin share, a fairly discounted benchmark given USDT vs USDe market splits as of now. Additionally, if the short term total stablecoin market cap on MegaETH comes between $3B-$5.8B (Polygon- Hyperliquid), USDm supply would aggregate to a rough $210M–$400M. At approximate BUIDL yields of 4.5%, that’s $10M–$20M a year in revenue flowing to the network. For perspective, Polygon has pulled in about $2M annually, while Arbitrum did $20M. MegaETH could 5x Polygon’s baseline and has potential to match Arbitrum’s revenue just by issuing a native stablecoin.

Was chatting with @rise_chain today about native token ideas There are plenty of models out there.. @Optimism and @arbitrum tend to have gov and reward campaigns @katana and sorta @berachain have ve33 type systems. A lot of L2s and Alt L1s have buybacks @SonicLabs has its feeM A lot of good ideas out there. Which do you like best? Comment below with other ideas. I personally like buyback and incentives LPs Buybacks benefit all holders and LPs need more juice for the service they provide. FeeM is also fantastic, but I think the ve33 level is too right curve for many

Perpetuals are the cash engine of on-chain trading. @HyperliquidX, @GMX_IO, and @dYdX dominate the narrative, but midcaps are where real alpha hides. → @DriftProtocol (on @Solana): $2.9M in fees and $2.33M in revenue over the last 30 days. → @OstiumLabs (on @Arbitrum): $44.6M TVL, with $2.46B 30D volume, $1.2M in fees, and $9.4M in annualized revenue. Both are operating like ecosystem-native exchanges, not “apps.” Their ability to generate revenue and retain liquidity positions them for re-rating once the market looks past vanity TVL. ● Market Landscape The perp sector is stratified: Tier 1: @HyperliquidX (>80% share, dominant UX). Tier 2: @dYdX, @GMX_IO (brand, but declining relative share). Tier 3: @DriftProtocol and @OstiumLabs (ecosystem-native hubs with sticky bases). Key Insight: Traders don’t migrate endlessly. They anchor to ecosystem-native venues if the product is good enough. That’s why Drift rules Solana, and Ostium is emerging as Arbitrum’s challenger beside GMX. ● Protocol Profiles Drift (@DriftProtocol) - 30D Fees: $2.9M - 30D Revenue: $2.33M Edge: Solana throughput + near-zero fees → CEX-like UX. What This Tells Us: Drift monetizes Solana’s DAU surge directly. It’s positioned as the “Binance of Solana” an execution venue native to the chain’s culture. Ostium (@OstiumLabs) - 30D Volume: $2.46B - 30D Fees: $1.2M - 30D Revenue: $0.77M Edge: Diversified perp markets, including commodities, indices, and FX → narrative extension beyond crypto pairs. What This Tells Us: Ostium proves that even mid-sized liquidity pools can sustain multi-billion monthly volume when the product addresses unique demand. ● Core Analysis - Exchange Economics: Drift and Ostium aren’t side experiments. They monetize orderflow with consistent take-rates. - Revenue Scale: Drift annualizes to $35M revenue; Ostium annualizes near ~$15M. - Differentiation: Drift is the Solana-native CEX alternative. Ostium’s RWA angle (commodities, FX) opens a different perp frontier. - Undervaluation: Market still prices them like midcap apps. By fundamentals, they resemble regional exchanges with sticky niches. ● Catalysts Drift - Jupiter routing could funnel Solana’s retail flow. - Deeper $USDC pools → higher notional capacity. Ostium - Expansion of non-crypto markets (commodities, FX) → bigger addressable TAM. - Potential fee-sharing governance → clearer token accrual. Both - Rising volatility → higher funding fees → stronger revenues. - Structured products/vaults adopting them as execution venues. ● The Bigger Picture @DriftProtocol and @OstiumLabs highlight the regional exchange thesis: Traders don’t leave their ecosystem if there’s a credible native venue. Both protocols have already crossed the credibility threshold: multi-million monthly revenue, sticky liquidity, differentiated moats. They’re not “apps.” They’re on-chain exchanges with growing P&L, hiding in plain sight.

Dive deeper into Arbitrum

Arbitrum has emerged as a leading Ethereum scaling solution, garnering significant attention even before its airdrop in March 2023. Its utility as a layer-two scaling solution for the Ethereum network has been pivotal in establishing its prominence within the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem.

What is Arbitrum?

Arbitrum is a Layer 2 blockchain protocol specifically developed to enhance the scalability of the Ethereum network. Arbitrum aims to increase transaction throughput on Ethereum by employing optimistic roll-ups while maintaining its security and decentralization. It provides a seamless migration path for developers to transition their applications from the Layer 1 Ethereum protocol to the Layer 2 Arbitrum protocol.

Offchain Labs created the protocol, and its Mainnet was launched in 2021. In March 2023, the Arbitrum Foundation introduced ARB as the native token of the Arbitrum ecosystem. This marked an important milestone in the project's evolution and further solidified its role in the crypto space.

The Arbitrum team

The Arbitrum team comprises Ed Felten, Steven Goldfeder, and Harry Kalodner, previously researchers at Princeton University. Ed Felten, a Professor of Computer Science, brings his expertise to the project, while Steven Goldfeder and Harry Kalodner hold Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science. Together, they form a skilled and knowledgeable team driving the development and innovation behind Arbitrum.

How does Arbitrum work?

The Arbitrum network utilizes optimistic roll-ups to scale the Ethereum network. While the Ethereum blockchain can handle only 15-30 transactions per second (TPS), roll-ups can increase transaction speed by up to 85 times.

Optimistic roll-ups aggregate transactions and process them off-chain in batches rather than individually on-chain. These transactions are then verified in batches and with reduced frequency on the blockchain.

To illustrate, think of optimistic roll-ups as grouping multiple transactions, similar to picking up all the items you need from a supermarket in one go rather than paying for each item separately.

In contrast, the traditional Ethereum network processes transactions one by one, like paying for each item individually at the store. Arbitrum's protocol, leveraging optimistic roll-ups, enables transactions to be rolled-up and processed in batches, thus enhancing scalability and efficiency.

Arbitrum’s native token: ARB

ARB is an ERC-20 token that functions as the governance token within the Arbitrum ecosystem. ARB Holders can vote on proposals put forth in the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), either in favor or against them.

Tokenomics

ARB has a total supply of 10 billion tokens, with a circulating supply of 1.275 billion tokens. During the viral airdrop on March 23, 2023, the Arbitrum Foundation distributed 12.75% of the total ARB supply to users and DAOs.

Staking ARB tokens

ARB tokens can be staked on various decentralized exchanges (DEXs), allowing users to earn rewards from the fees generated by the liquidity pool. The longer the ARB tokens are staked or locked, the higher the potential rewards for the user.

Additionally, centralized exchanges (CEXs) like OKX provide staking services for ARB through their OKX Earn. Users can earn a flexible 1 percent annual percentage yield (APY) on their staked ARB tokens.

Arbitrum’s use cases

Arbitrum's use cases primarily revolve around its governance functionality. As the native governance token of the ecosystem, ARB is designed for voting on proposals and decisions within the Arbitrum network. Additionally, ARB can be staked to earn rewards and serve as a store of value for users within the ecosystem. It's important to note that ARB is not utilized as gas fees for transactions on the network

ARB Token distribution

The supply distribution of ARB is as follows:

  • Arbitrum DAO treasury: 42.78%
  • Offchain Labs teams and advisors: 26.94%
  • Investors: 17.53%
  • Airdrop to users: 11.62%
  • Airdrop to DAOs: 1.13%

Arbitrum’s future vision

Arbitrum's future vision is centered around achieving progressive decentralization. While the Arbitrum Foundation currently holds most of the decision-making power in the ecosystem, the goal is to transition towards a more decentralized governance model as the Arbitrum ecosystem expands and more web3 users engage with the network.

In the meantime, ARB token holders can actively participate in voting for improvement proposals, ensuring a level of community involvement.

Furthermore, Arbitrum has plans to launch a Layer 3 DApp shortly.

This layer-three solution, called Orbit, will allow developers to deploy programs using popular programming languages such as Rust and C++.
