Optimism Foundation recently unveiled a significant proposal aimed at strengthening its ecosystem incentive structure. The initiative centers on redirecting a substantial portion of Superchain-generated revenue—specifically 50%—toward systematic OP token buybacks. This mechanism represents a strategic approach to token value management and holder alignment. By channeling half of protocol revenue back into market repurchases, the proposal seeks to create positive tokenomics dynamics while simultaneously rewarding long-term community participants. The buyback model reflects growing maturity in Layer 2 governance, where sustainable revenue models directly support token economics.

OP-3,36%

Buy back 50%? This tactic looks good, but can it really support the price? It seems like it will depend on how it's executed later.

Buy back 50% of the revenue? It feels like OP is just promising big things to holders. Will it actually materialize?

Buyback of 50%? Sounds good, but I still want to see how long it can actually last. Such promises are most likely to change in a bear market...

A 50% buyback sounds good, but will this money really end up impacting the market?

Buy back 50%? That's a pretty aggressive move, but those holding OP are probably ecstatic.

Buyback 50%？ Now OP holders can open champagne, but I'm just worried it might be another bubble of hype. --- This logic sounds pretty good, directly boosting buying pressure with revenue, which is really beneficial for long-term holders. --- NGL, this kind of feels like playing an inflation game. How long can the buyback last? We'll see. --- Wait, does superchain really generate that much revenue, or is it just another pie-in-the-sky promise? --- Brilliant, distributing protocol revenue to token holders—that's true value transfer.
