Optimism’s Bold Bet: Turning Cash into OP Dust 🎲

by

In a world where tokens are as fleeting as a summer’s whisper, Optimism proposes a liaison with the Superchain-a tango of finance and folly. 🌟

From Piggy Bank to OP Playground

The Superchain, a carnival of chains, each spinning its own sequencer’s gold. Base, OP Mainnet, and their motley crew dutifully hand over revenue like obedient children. 💸

A proposal for the next act in Optimism’s grand theatre, where 50% of Superchain’s gold flows into OP’s embrace. 🎭

Last year, 5,868 ETH flowed into the treasury-a modest hoard for a kingdom of layer-2 dreams. Now, the Foundation seeks to formalize chaos: half the loot buys OP, half funds “operations.” 🏰

Market disruption? Fear not! Purchases will tiptoe through the market like a butler with a tray of teacups. 🫖

Governance, ever the indecisive suitor, may burn the tokens, hoard them, or scatter them like confetti at a parade. 🎉

OP’s Identity Crisis: From Paperweight to Powerhouse

OP, once a governance token with all the allure of a spreadsheet, now craves purpose. The Superchain, a titan processing 13% of on-chain transactions, demands tribute. 💼

The Foundation whispers, “This is merely the opening act.” Future chapters may crown OP as a sequencer czar or infrastructure maestro. 🎼

A community call looms (January 12), followed by a vote that will either echo through history or vanish into the void. If approved, the spectacle begins. 🎬

OP’s price, currently a shadow of its former self, clings to hope like a sailor to a mast. 🌊
