A proposal requiring the Optimism Foundation to use 50% of its Superchain network revenue each month to buy back OP governance tokens has opened for voting on January 22. There are differing opinions within the DAO community on this. Opponents argue that using hard assets for buybacks is an inefficient use of capital while the foundation still needs to net sell OP through grants and other means. Another major point of contention is that the buyback will be executed through over-the-counter transactions, which will not directly affect public market prices, and representatives are concerned it may become a channel for insiders to unlock tokens. Supporters argue that the buyback mechanism can clearly convey the value of network growth to the market and is the "right direction."
