Network revenue on Ink consists of Real Economic Value (REV), which tracks blockchain value accrual from user activity. REV includes L1 data fees and L2 execution fees (base + priority).
As an OP Stack L2, Ink's operating expenses are L1 Data Costs — posting transaction data to Ethereum for data availability and finality.
Gross Profit = REV − L1 Costs.
OP Collective Split is the share of fees that flows to the Optimism Collective (min 2.5% of total fees or 15% of L2 fees).
Net Income = Gross Profit − OP Collective Split.
