@RobinhoodCrypto is building for a future where all assets come onchain. That requires higher throughput and lower transaction fees. We expect fee revenue to grow over time as activity scales.

Gas prices are a key variable in oracle-update costs for propAMMs. Lower fees are allowing them to quote tighter spreads and generate higher PnL as a major operating cost comes down.
