Overview
- Under the plan, half of future Superchain sequencer revenue would fund monthly OP purchases for 12 months starting in February if approved.
- Acquired tokens would be held in the treasury for future governance decisions, including potential burns or redistribution through incentives.
- Superchain participants generated 5,868 ETH for the governance-controlled treasury over the past year through existing revenue sharing.
- Optimism cites Superchain scale with about 13% of all blockchain transactions and 61.4% of layer‑two fee market share as the revenue base for buybacks.
- The proposal includes execution safeguards such as pausing purchases below a revenue threshold and limiting OTC buys to a defined fee spread, while the remaining 50% of revenue stays available for treasury management and ecosystem support.
