The Optimism Foundation just dropped an interesting proposal: they're looking to allocate 50% of Superchain sequencer revenue toward monthly OP token buybacks starting February 2026. Here's the math—last year's sequencer revenue hit around 5,868 ETH, meaning roughly 2.7k ETH (roughly $8M) would flow into treasury repurchases via OTC deals each month. It's a bold move to support token value through sustained buybacks rather than pure emission dilution. The community gets to vote on this on January 22, so if you're holding OP or tracking the ecosystem, this governance decision could reshape how the protocol manages its economic incentives going forward. Worth paying attention to.

OP0.94%

ETH0.05%

A 50% buyback力度 is still acceptable, but the key is execution. This kind of OTC deal sounds like there is room for manipulation. The real question is whether they can really invest 8M when the time comes.

Wow, a monthly buyback of 8 million? If that's true, OP is about to take off, finally stopping the money-printing game.

Hmm... a monthly buyback of 8 million, this trick feels a bit familiar.

NGL, the buyback力度 is indeed aggressive, with 8 million per month allocated for repurchase... However, it won't actually start until 2026, so we don't know what the market will look like by then.
