🚀 Ethereum Co-Founder Vitalik's Praise For Celo Sparks Debate

According to Odaily, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin's recent commendation of Celo has sparked a debate within the blockchain community. On-chain detective ZachXBT expressed skepticism, stating, 'I have yet to see a real user of Celo; it is an integrated 'ghost chain' within the Optimism stack.'

ZachXBT also agreed with comments suggesting that platforms like Metal DAO and Celo are leveraging the superchain mechanism to gain incentives from the OP ecosystem. This discussion highlights differing opinions on the actual utility and user base of Celo, raising questions about its role and effectiveness within the broader blockchain landscape.

🚀 Base Mainnet to Undergo Optimism Superchain Upgrade

According to BlockBeats, Base Build has announced that the Base mainnet will undergo the Optimism Superchain U16A upgrade on October 8 from 1:00 to 3:00 UTC+8. During this period, pending withdrawals from the Base mainnet to Ethereum L1 will be temporarily invalidated, although deposits and on-chain activities will continue as usual. Users are advised to complete all pending withdrawal transactions before 1:00 on October 8.

🚀 Optimism Unveils Post-Quantum Roadmap for Superchain

Optimism has announced a post-quantum roadmap for its Superchain. According to Foresight News, the plan includes phasing out ECDSA-based external accounts (EOA) on the OP mainnet and Superchain within ten years, contingent upon governance approval. All ECDSA EOAs will need to delegate private key management to post-quantum smart contract accounts. Once the transition period ends, OP Stack chains will gradually eliminate transactions using original ECDSA signatures for EOAs. The OP Stack chains will follow a unified roadmap to ensure upgrades are synchronized across the entire Superchain network.

🚀 Optimism Governance Approves OP Token Buyback Plan for Ecosystem Sustainability

Optimism's governance has approved a plan to buy back OP tokens, funded by revenue from the Superchain, to enhance ecosystem sustainability and align incentives across the network. According to BWEnews, this initiative aims to bolster the long-term viability of the Optimism ecosystem by strategically utilizing Superchain-generated funds. The decision reflects a commitment to maintaining a balanced and incentivized network structure, ensuring that stakeholders are adequately rewarded and motivated to contribute to the ecosystem's growth. The market capitalization of OP tokens currently stands at $1.231 billion, although this figure may be subject to change.

🚀 Optimism Aligns OP Token with Superchain's Economic Performance

On January 29, Optimism's governance approved a proposal to closely link the OP token with the economic performance of the Superchain. According to BlockBeats, this marks a significant shift in how one of Ethereum's largest Layer 2 ecosystems manages token value and revenue.

The proposal outlines that the Optimism Foundation will allocate 50% of the Superchain sequencer's net income to regularly repurchase OP tokens during a 12-month pilot starting in February. The remaining income will continue to support the ecosystem fund, project grants, and operations.

Data from the Optimism on-chain governance portal shows that the proposal passed with 84.4% support after several days of discussion among representatives and token holders.

This initiative is Optimism's first formal attempt to tie the demand for OP tokens to the activity across the Superchain network. The Superchain is an expanding collection of chains built on the OP Stack, including the OP Mainnet, Base, Unichain, World Chain, Soneium, and Ink.

As of the time of reporting, the market capitalization of OP stands at $583 million, down 87.6% from its all-time high, with the token price at $0.3, a 93.8% decrease from its peak.

🚀 Optimism Blockchain to Allocate 50% of Superchain Revenue for Token Buyback

The governance of the Optimism blockchain has approved a proposal to allocate half of all Superchain revenue to buy back the network’s token over the next year, starting in February. According to Cointelegraph, the proposal was initially submitted by the Optimism Foundation on January 8, aiming to enhance the utility of the Optimism (OP) token and align it with the success of the Superchain, a network of unified blockchains. The voting period concluded on Thursday, with the Optimism governance community passing the proposal with a 33.27% vote in favor, 3.23% against, and 3.95% abstaining.

Up until the vote, all Superchain revenue was allocated to a treasury overseen by the Optimism governance community. Optimism’s Superchain comprises a network of layer-2 (L2) chains built using the project's open-source OP stack, including Sony’s Soneium, Unichain, Ink, and Coinbase’s Base. It generates income in Ether (ETH) through sequencer revenue contributed by these L2s. As part of the proposal, Optimism will collaborate with an over-the-counter provider to execute monthly conversions of Ether (ETH) to OP, with the funds held in the treasury alongside other remaining ETH.

The Optimism Foundation stated in its proposal that, based on last year’s Superchain revenue, a similar allocation would have seen around 2,700 ETH used for buybacks, or roughly $8 million in OP at current prices. The accumulated OP could be utilized for various purposes, including token burning, funding ecosystem expansion, and rewarding participants who help secure the network. Optimism Foundation executive director Bobby Dresser expressed that the approval marks an “exciting first step in expanding the role of the OP token” and the program “will help align the OP token’s value with the success of the Superchain ecosystem.” Despite the significant changes to the OP token dynamics, its price has yet to respond positively, with OP down 1.9% over the past 24 hours, trading at $0.26, according to CoinGecko data.
