Optimism Foundation is rolling out a new proposal that could reshape how the protocol captures value. The plan calls for monthly OP token buybacks funded by 50% of Superchain revenue—which has already accumulated 5,868 ETH over the past year. Here's what's interesting: the purchased tokens don't necessarily get locked away. They could be burned to reduce supply, or redistributed as staking rewards to incentivize network participation. It's a strategic move balancing deflationary pressure with incentive alignment across the ecosystem.

NGL, this buyback plan sounds good, but the real test is in execution... How much longer can OP hold on?

OP's move this time is really impressive, directly using 50% of the revenue to buy back, honestly just playing the supply game.

NGL, this logic is a bit clever. The tokens bought back can still be burned and staked? It sounds like they're secretly doing deflation while feeding sugar to the community. I like it.

Laughing while watching OP try to come up with new tricks, whether to burn coins or distribute dividends all depends on the mood.

NGL, this move has some substance. Whether to burn or stake for rewards depends on how the OP chooses.
