TechFlow News, January 23: According to DL News, the Optimism DAO began voting on January 23 on a landmark proposal recommending that 50% of the Optimism Superchain network’s revenue be allocated monthly toward buying back OP governance tokens. The vote will run through January 28.
So far, delegates have cast over 3.8 million votes in favor of the proposal, with only approximately 19,000 votes against it. However, the proposal has sparked controversy within the community. Supporters such as Milo Bowman argue that the buyback plan would boost token price and demonstrate growth potential; opponents such as GFX Labs express concerns that off-exchange buybacks lack market transparency and could jeopardize the project’s financial sustainability.
