Optimism has recently made a big move. The official announcement states that the revenue generated from the Superchain will be used to buy back OP tokens, with a set ratio of 50% of the revenue. This combination of strategies may seem simple, but in fact, it is a significant move—using financial leverage to bind the OP tokens and the entire Superchain ecosystem more tightly.

The plan is to officially launch in February this year. At the same time, the foundation will also adjust the logic of capital allocation, with a clear goal: to use funds more effectively and support the construction of the Superchain more efficiently. The benefits of this approach are obvious—OP tokens are no longer just governance tools but are gradually becoming direct beneficiaries of ecosystem growth.

What does the market think? Participants generally believe this is an interesting experiment in Optimism’s tokenomics. By proactively aligning with ecosystem revenue and token value, Optimism is demonstrating a new possibility. If this iteration continues, the resilience and long-term attractiveness of the Superchain should become stronger and stronger.
