On January 23, the Optimism DAO began voting on a landmark proposal to use 50% of the Optimism Superchain network's revenue to buy back OP governance tokens monthly. However, the proposal has sparked controversy within the community. Supporters like Milo Bowman believe the buyback program would boost the token price and demonstrate growth potential; while opponents like GFX Labs worry that the buyback, conducted through over-the-counter trading, lacks market transparency and could potentially impact the project's financial sustainability. Currently, delegates have cast over 3.8 million votes in favor of the proposal, with only approximately 19,000 votes against. Voting will continue until January 28. (DL News)
