Robinhood Chain's 90-day gas subsidy ended on September 29, revealing a significant monetization gap: despite $1.6B in DEX volume and $919M in perpetual volume, the chain generated only $166K in fees—a 98% drop from the $4M daily revenue seen on September 2. Apps captured 8x more revenue than the chain itself, and a separate issue emerged where users paid for priority transaction fees that provided no actual priority on the first-come-first-served sequencer.
