‍Optimism Approves OP Token Buyback Using Superchain Revenue

The Optimism blockchain's governance community has approved a proposal to initiate an OP token buyback program. Starting February 2026, 50% of all Superchain revenue will be used to purchase the native OP token over 12 months. This revenue, primarily in ETH from sequencer fees on L2 networks like Base and Soneium, will be converted to OP via an OTC provider.

The Optimism Foundation estimates this allocation would have been approximately 2,700 ETH ($8 million) based on last year's data. The acquired OP tokens are earmarked for token burning, ecosystem funding, and security incentives. Bobby Dresser, Executive Director of the Optimism Foundation, stated, "This is an exciting first step in expanding the role of the OP token. The program will help align the OP token’s value with the success of the Superchain ecosystem."
