Agreed, we should absolutely be looking to bring in more dapps and more users, however, I still think that the price of txs on Arbitrum is too cheap and raising the baseline fee will probably \>1.5x the revenue without pushing users away.

I want to see Arbitrum have the highest revenue of all L2’s, this is probably the most important metric to compete on, and has a huge impact on the implied value of $ARB. BD efforts are the most important piece of the puzzle, but not the only piece. Base fees are an important knob to consider adjusting as well.

Despite our revenue numbers being OUTSTANDING on their own, second place is the first loser in the crypto space… but maybe I’m saying the quiet part out loud.
