The following reflects the views of GMX’s Governance Committee, and is based on the combined research, evaluation, consensus, and ideation of various committee members.
We are generally in accordance with the increased minimum L2 base fee, its important to note that the aforementioned spike in October 10th 2025 and September 22nd 2025 in gas expense, and more recently 4th November 2025, was related to a series of perps orders being triggered. Perps and derivatives users on Arbitrum, will unambiguously feel this expense, what we hope is that this doesn’t deliver an undesirable result for traders to move away in high demand usage.
Nonetheless, we’re excited for the technical upgrades for node operators and the Erigon team’s deliverable to the Sepolia network and soon to Arbitrum One for these operators in reducing storage and costs.
We have APPROVED this proposal, but hope there’s a recognition for trader behaviour.
