It's very good that arbitrum made the stigma completely on-chain, without any signatures or merkleProofs.

For example on HashFlow there was a signature and their server was down for half an hour, and Optimism did merkleProof and was also very laggy. But it's too bad we don't have gazvar on the network. Having sent a transaction with a good MaxBid and a limit, you still have nothing to do but wait.

There is a FIFO system here - First In, First Out. That is, you can not affect the acceleration in any way

And the main problem that worries me the most is that with high block limits, I could not find a really heavy block, at least with a 10,000,000 limit, while searching through the scanner.

* The stigma transaction itself consumes about 400,000,000 limit, if the block is still only scored at 2-3 million, it will take a very long time to stigma, as 1 block will only hold 5-7 stigmas.

Consider this option:

1 block is ~ 1 second and holds 5-7 transactions, take 6 (3,000,000/400,000)

Total claymores - 600k+ 600,000 / (1 * 6) = 100,000 seconds = 27 hours, 46 minutes But I think all the same will not be and the block will obviously weigh a lot more.

For example, if we take BNBChain as an example, a block holds 120 million. 1 block is ~ 1 second and contains 300 transactions, let's take 6 (120,000,000/400,000) 600,000 / (1 * 300) = 2,000 seconds = 33 minutes

Too big limit in a block is also difficult for me to imagine, because then many nodes may lie, because all this limit - is calculated exactly on them and makes the CPU load

Also, do not forget that after each loaded block, baseFee increases. Therefore, if in the beginning it may be 3 guay, then at the end and all 100 (and here's a commission as in the air)

Results

I hope with this post I was able to open your eyes and now you have an idea of what to expect. The $ARB stigma is a real stress test for the network and there has never been such a stress before.

Also I expect a lot of rooflins about how during the branding the commission in Arbitrum may be higher than in Ethereum, or that the blockchain is down (but in fact the transaction is just in the queue).

If this whole story with block limits is a myth and they really can be that big and nodes can handle it all, then the stigma will go very quickly and pleasantly for all users.
