Express News | BNB Chain Director of Growth: Public blockchains need to find sustainable business models
On September 6, Nina Rong, Executive Director of Growth at BNB Chain, commented on the debate between Arbitrum founder Steven Goldfeder and Solana co-founder Toly regarding the Robinhood Chain fee model, emphasizing that further reducing gas fees is no longer the top priority for the blockchain industry. The true priority for all public blockchains today is to identify sustainable business models and reinvest revenues into technology and growth. Such business models may include gas fees, revenue sharing, or other forms of commercial collaboration. Over the past five years, blockchain foundations have largely been perceived as focusing on two activities: issuing grants and making investments, and lowering gas fees. To remain viable for the next five years, blockchain companies must establish robust business structures.
Express News | Arbitrum and Solana co-founders debate Robinhood's chain fee model and underlying network selection
On September 6, Arbitrum founder Steven Goldfeder and Solana co-founder Toly engaged in a debate over the fee model of Robinhood Chain. Toly stated that the 10% revenue share paid by Robinhood Chain to Arbitrum is sufficient to cover four times the on-chain transaction fees on Solana, implying that user gas fees could be significantly reduced if deployed on Solana. In response, Goldfeder noted that under the Arbitrum architecture, Robinhood can retain approximately 90% of gas revenues, explaining that the choice of Arbitrum was intended to "be the landlord, not the tenant." Toly countered that Robinhood could charge fees at the application front-end while utilizing a lower-cost underlying network; however, Goldfeder argued that a significant volume of on-chain activity does not pass through the Robinhood front-end, and as a mere "tenant" of the underlying network, Robinhood would be unable to capture revenue generated from these peripheral activities.
