The Optimism Foundation recently announced a new tokenomics initiative. Starting from February 2026, 50% of the revenue generated by the superchain sequencer will be used for monthly regular repurchases of OP tokens.



In terms of data, the foundation has accumulated 5,868 ETH in sequencer revenue over the past 12 months. The initial repurchase plan will utilize 2.7k ETH of this, approximately $8 million. This fund will be used to execute repurchase operations on a monthly basis.

The proposal is scheduled for a community vote on January 22. This direct token repurchase mechanism reflects the project's long-term commitment to ecosystem development and token value. By returning a portion of protocol revenue to token holders, it not only enhances token scarcity but also provides a visible value return mechanism for ecosystem participants.

$8 million buyback, so we have to wait until February 2026 to see the results. No need to rush.

$8 million monthly buyback, OP might really be saved this time... but the question is, how long can they keep it up?

Well, the buyback力度 is okay this time, but it depends on how the vote on January 22nd turns out. --- 8 million USD buyback spread over months? Take it slow, anyway we're not in a hurry. --- Wait, sequencer revenue of 5,868 ETH a year? That must be a lot of transaction fees. --- Sounds good, but the key is whether the price actually drops or not. --- Let's see the效果 after half a year; it's too early to boast now. --- Buybacks are better than直接砸盘, at least it's a move.

Finally showing some sincerity; buybacks are definitely better than nothing.
