  • fixing broken links that push to Notion
  • Due to this needed a Timeboost FAQ
  • Timeboost FAQ is a temp solution instead of using Notion, until we have a finalized solution

The Timeboost auction is open to everyone; however, since auctions require a non-zero bid to win, we believe that only parties who can return from capturing arbitrage opportunities, backrunning opportunities, or reselling the express lane rights will benefit from participating.

The Timeboost protocol works behind the scenes with minimal impact on regular users while generating revenue for the Arbitrum DAO and opening up an additional revenue stream for sophisticated searchers.

"The Timeboost protocol works behind the scenes". I read this sentence as, "We're doing some things behind your back, but don't worry; your tokens are safe with us".


### How much estimated revenue will this drive to the DAO?

Estimating how much revenue Timeboost will generate is complex and is based on many factors. There are no ways to confidently estimate the amount of arbitrage or backrunning opportunities that currently exist or will exist on Arbitrum chains in the future. The expectation is that the revenue will be significant on Arbitrum One due to the high amount of DeFi activity.

It might be a good idea to point readers to an explorer link where they can see the token flow.


On having a clearer user interface:

- Users can subscribe to the sequencer feed to view, in real-time, the final order of transactions. This sequencer feed is usable today and in a world where the DAO adopts Timeboost (should the vote pass). Arbitrum chains currently operate with a single sequencer with no public mempool. Today, the logic used to sort transactions is "first-come-first-serve" or FCFS.

"Should the vote pass". Hasn't the vote passed already?

### Will there be a testnet for Timeboost?

Timeboost will be rolled out on private testing-focused devnets and public testnets like Arbitrum Sepolia before Arbitrum One and Nova.

Isn't Timeboost in production now?

I requested some mods, quite a few of them pertaining to the DAO vote.


### Will there be plans for a clean user interface that allows users to understand the logic of how their transactions are sorted, as well as an optional setting to adjust the sensitivity to the time factor?

The first point about a clearer user interface is that users can subscribe to the sequencer feed to view, in real time, the final order of transactions. This sequencer feed is usable both today and in a future world where the DAO adopts Timeboost (should the vote pass) to understand the logic of how transactions get sorted.
