CoinWorld News reports that, according to an official announcement, the Optimism Foundation has proposed a new plan on January 8, 2026, to allocate 50% of the superchain revenue for OP token buybacks. The proposal aims to transform the OP token from a purely governance token into an asset directly linked to the growth of the superchain ecosystem. Over the past 12 months, the superchain has contributed 5,868 ETH in revenue to the foundation. If the proposal is approved in the voting on January 22, the buyback plan will officially commence in February. The repurchased tokens will flow into the token treasury and can be used for future burns or as staking rewards.
