Optimism Proposes Using 50% of Superchain Revenue to Buy Back OP
Key Takeaways:Optimism Moves to Redefine OP’s Economic RoleHow the OP Buyback Mechanism Would WorkSuperchain Fees Become the Economic EngineSuperchain Revenue and Its Role in OP’s Value Model
According to Optimism’s own data, Superchain networks now:
- Capture over 60% of Layer-2 fee market share
- Process roughly 13% of all crypto transactions
- Continue to gain share as new OP Stack chains launch
This means OP buybacks would be funded by a broad, diversified base of network activity rather than reliance on a single chain. The fees and buyback capacity of Superchain may increase as additional applications, users, and institutions are deployed to OP Stack chains.
Overall, OP would start to resemble an ecosystem-wide value accrual token indicating the overall performance of dozens of Layer-2 networks.
