What is this about?

This discussion was initiated by MidnightLightning, who raised questions about the enforced floor gas price on the Arbitrum One and Nova chains, which are currently set at 0.1 gwei and 0.01 gwei respectively. The user sought clarity on the reasons behind this enforcement, suggesting it might be to prevent potential attack vectors, spamming, or DoSing of the chain. They also proposed several assumptions and questions for discussion, including the possibility of a governance proposal to reduce the gas floor price at a certain rate¹.

Why this is negative?

The negative aspect of this discussion is the lack of clarity and understanding about the reasons behind the enforced gas floor price.

Additionally, if the gas floor price is indeed necessary for preventing potential attack vectors, any changes to it could potentially risk the security/usability of the chain¹.
