I got a lot of pressure years ago to make Arbitrum fully open source. Instead, we chose community source. The code is public. Anyone can use and modify it at will. But if you build on the Arbitrum platform, you contribute 10% back to the Arbitrum DAO. Simple principle: Community source. If you benefit from the ecosystem, you are part of it. As a requirement. Not as an option. We’ve had teams tell us they would only adopt the technology if it were fully open source. We made a deliberate choice: Public code. Permissionless building. Mandatory contribution to the DAO. Not because we fear competition. Because an ecosystem without economic alignment risks exploitation. If a stack can be extracted from without contributing back, eventually it will be. Business models aren’t something to shy away from in crypto. If we want independent and open economies to endure onchain, the foundational layer must endure too. That requires a real business model. We’re proud of the decision we made, for the platform and for the community. If we want independent, and open economies to last, this is the most credible path forward.
