Fast Feed: Constitutional AIP
AI summary
This proposal, called the "Fast Feed: Constitutional AIP," aims to create a new paid data streaming product for Arbitrum One. This "Fast Feed" will provide subscribers with earlier access to information about transaction order and metadata than the standard data feed. It's designed to be a subscription service, with payments intended to ensure reliable service and mitigate denial-of-service (DoS) risks. The proposal emphasizes that this feed will not introduce new forms of MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) or frontrunning, as it only publishes information after transaction order is determined.
If passed, Arbitrum will launch a new revenue-generating product. 97% of the subscription fees will go to the ArbitrumDAO treasury, and 3% will go to the Arbitrum Developer Guild, following a similar revenue split as the "Timeboost AIP." Offchain Labs will also be granted the right to adjust payment contract parameters for two years. This could benefit latency-sensitive applications and MEV searchers by providing earlier data, while generating new income for the DAO and its developer guild.

The Fast Feed makes that stream accessible to Arbitrum's ecosystem as a specialized, subscription-based data product.
This feed will be paid-only to mitigate against DoS risks and to help ensure a reliable and stable connection for teams who wish…
