What the dashboard will show.
The dashboard as it will open in Vantage. Each figure is named here and arrives with its receipt; until its data is published, its place stays empty.
Activity and gas
Transactions, active addresses and gas on Arbitrum One, with what a swap costs now.
Active addresses, latest day
countDistinct addresses that sent at least one transaction on Arbitrum One on the latest complete UTC day.
L2 base fee now
gweiThe base fee per gas in the latest Arbitrum One block header, as ArbOS priced it.
Cost of a swap now
USDWhat a typical DEX swap costs at the latest block: its execution gas at the base fee plus the L1 data cost of its bytes, with the gas amounts named.
Transactions and active addresses by day
countDaily transactions and daily active addresses on Arbitrum One over the selected period.
Fees by day: execution and L1 data
ETHFees users paid each day, split into the execution part and the L1 data part read from gasUsedForL1, beside what the batch poster paid Ethereum.
Ordering revenue
What Arbitrum One earned from ordering transactions: Timeboost auctions, then priority fees.
Ordering revenue, 30 days
ETHPriority fees paid on Arbitrum One over the last 30 days; for periods before the switch, Timeboost auction proceeds instead.
Paid to the DAO treasury, 30 days
ETHOrdering revenue that reached the Arbitrum DAO treasury over the last 30 days, from the transfers into it.
Ordering revenue by day
ETHDaily Timeboost auction proceeds until the switch and daily priority fees after it, on one axis so the change of policy shows.
Timeboost rounds
Every express lane round from April 2025 to the switch: winner, price paid, express lane transactions and each winner's share of the rounds.

About
What it answers, and for whom.
Arbitrum One is the flagship Arbitrum chain: an optimistic rollup built on Nitro that settles to Ethereum and is governed by the Arbitrum DAO. This dashboard reads its blocks for daily transactions, active addresses and gas, from the L2 base fee that ArbOS sets to the L1 data cost each transaction carries for its share of the batch posted to Ethereum.
It also follows how Arbitrum One sells the order of transactions. The chain ran first come, first served until April 2025, when Timeboost added a sealed-bid auction for an express lane in each round. In September 2026 the DAO replaced Timeboost with priority gas auctions, in which the tip a transaction offers orders it within short rounds. Both are measured from their own on-chain traces and kept apart.
Every figure is read from Arbitrum One or Ethereum blocks and names the block it came from, so fees, auction prices and the DAO's revenue can be checked transaction by transaction.
Method
How it will be measured.
Every figure will be read at a block, kept with its source and its exact read, and open a receipt anyone can re-check.
How receipts work →- Transactions and active addresses are counted per UTC day from Arbitrum One blocks, leaving out the ArbOS internal transaction that opens each block; an address is active when it sends at least one transaction.
- Gas is read per block and per transaction: the L2 base fee from each header, then gas used, effective gas price and gasUsedForL1, the L1 data part of each fee, from receipts.
- Timeboost is read from the ExpressLaneAuction contract on Arbitrum One: deposits, each round's winner and the price paid under the second-price rule, with the receipts' timeboosted flag marking express lane transactions.
- Priority fee revenue after the switch is the tip part of each fee, effective gas price minus base fee times gas used, summed per day; the DAO's share is read from transfers into its treasury.
- Costs paid to Ethereum are the gas and blob fees of the batch poster's transactions to the Sequencer Inbox, read from Ethereum receipts.

Questions
Questions people ask.
How much is gas on Arbitrum One?
Arbitrum One charges an L2 base fee that ArbOS sets from recent demand, never below a minimum, plus an L1 data cost for the bytes a transaction adds to its batch on Ethereum. Since the ArbOS Dia upgrade, the base fee responds to several gas targets over different windows, which smooths spikes. The dashboard shows the latest base fee and what a swap costs at it.
What was Timeboost?
Timeboost was Arbitrum One's transaction ordering policy from April 2025. Before each round, a sealed-bid, second-price auction sold an express lane whose controller skipped a short delay applied to everyone else's transactions. Most of the proceeds went to the Arbitrum DAO treasury. The dashboard keeps its full auction history, round by round.
What replaced Timeboost?
Priority gas auctions. Since September 2026 the sequencer orders transactions within short rounds by the priority fee they offer, as validators do on Ethereum, with a rule that stops low-tip transactions from waiting indefinitely. Tips are now ordering revenue, and the dashboard counts them by day beside the Timeboost history.
Does Arbitrum burn gas fees?
No. Arbitrum One does not burn its base fee. Fees are paid to fee accounts set in ArbOS and routed to the DAO treasury and other recipients chosen by governance, so the dashboard treats them as revenue rather than as burn.
How long does a withdrawal from Arbitrum One take?
A native withdrawal can be executed on Ethereum once the assertion that includes it is confirmed, after a challenge period of about a week, and the user then executes it from the outbox. The withdrawal times dashboard measures both steps for every covered rollup.
- ArbOS
- The layer of Arbitrum's software that prices gas, handles messages from Ethereum and holds chain settings such as the minimum base fee and the fee recipients.
- Express lane
- Under Timeboost, the right to have transactions sequenced without the short delay applied to everyone else, sold one round at a time.
- Priority gas auction
- An ordering rule in which transactions offering a higher priority fee are sequenced first within each round.
- BoLD
- Arbitrum's dispute protocol, under which anyone can challenge an incorrect state claim and disputes resolve within a bounded time.
