Holding ARB for a period of time and accumulating a significant position through monthly airdrops. After comparing with other mainstream tokens in the L2 ecosystem, I realized that ARB's tokenomics design has obvious shortcomings.

In comparison, POL's staking model is relatively more complete—there are not only basic staking rewards but also relatively stable token airdrops from ecosystem blue-chip projects. More importantly, its deflationary logic is comprehensive: full gas fee burn + staking rewards + cross-chain fee flows, creating a continuous deflationary effect at the million-level scale.

Although SUI and APTOS are smaller in size, both have basic staking rewards and gas rebate mechanisms, making their token economic cycle relatively coherent. In contrast, ARB's reward model design indeed appears somewhat thin. From ecosystem layout to overall token supply incentives, there is still considerable room for optimization.
