LISTEN UP EVERYBODY! Today we're launching OP Enterprise.

We all know that crypto is at the cusp of major mainstream adoption. Nearly every major enterprise has a crypto strategy.

We're the only team that has successfully launched chains for multiple companies. We've packaged up all of our learnings into a product offering that will onboard the next wave of enterprises.

OP Enterprise is production-grade blockchain infrastructure for companies that want to build businesses, not become blockchain experts.

Here's what we keep hearing from enterprises:
They're building on infrastructure where the incentives don't align with their own. They're competing for mindshare, fighting to keep users, working against platform economics that extract value from everything they build.

Most blockchain platforms don't care if you're successful. Their focus is on their own TVL and metrics - not yours. You launch your stablecoin into an environment that competes with everyone else's stablecoin and hemorrhage capital to onboard your users onto a blockchain you have zero control over.

And even if you decide to own your chain, you hit the real bottleneck—onboarding the ecosystem partners you need to go live. Stablecoins, oracles, bridges, wallets, indexers. Each negotiation takes months. Costs hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. Vendors pick off blockchain teams one by one.

We've seen this movie before. Many times.

𝗢𝗣 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝘅𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵
𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 — When you own your chain, your infrastructure becomes a revenue-generating asset. Not a cost center. DeFi protocols deploy on your rails. The economic activity you enable accrues to you.
This isn't about saving on fees. It's about owning the infrastructure layer where financial value is created.
𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 — We've onboarded tier-one partners across 50+ production chains. They're already integrated, contracted, ready to deploy. We negotiate standard terms, manage costs down, and fast-track partnerships that would otherwise delay your launch by 6-12 months.
We've done this work already. You don't have to.

The window for enterprise blockchain has shifted from "if" to "how fast."
MiCA is live in Europe. US policy is stabilizing. The enterprises that spent 2023-2024 in exploratory mode are now greenlighting production builds.
Enterprise deals are now a competitive space. When we talk to enterprises, we see everyone trying to help them come onchain.
But the OP Stack is the only stack that has successfully brought and scaled multiple enterprises onchain. We've seen what works and what doesn't. We've earned this knowledge by building alongside the fastest-growing enterprises in web3. We've encountered every failure mode because we've been doing this longer than anyone else.
At the end of the day, enterprises want to control their own economics. They don't want to rent infrastructure from platforms that compete with them.
The OP Stack vision will win. Shared standards balanced with chain autonomy.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘂𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁
𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱 — 50+ chains launched. Not pilots. Production systems serving millions.
𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 — We control the entire stack. When we discover vulnerabilities, customers get patches within hours. Not weeks.
𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 — Questions go to the engineers who wrote the code. Feature requests go to the people who can actually implement them. No translation layer.
𝗘𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘂𝗺 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 — We've worked on Ethereum's core protocol. Defined its scaling roadmap. Invented the L2 architecture that powers the industry.
𝗡𝗼 𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸-𝗶𝗻 — Open source. Fork if you want. Most teams discover they'd rather work with us—but the choice is always yours.

Our first customers:
Unichain — Uniswap needed their own chain. They chose us. Uniswap Labs operates Unichain with Mission-Critical Support—priority response for high-stakes moments where downtime isn't an option.
Celo — Scaling mobile payments across Latin America and Africa. Millions of users. Celo operates their network with Mission-Critical Support, ensuring enterprise-grade backing in emerging markets.
Different use cases. Same infrastructure. Same commitment to their success
We are here today because partners like these rolled up their sleeves and built together with us.

If you need infrastructure that performs without the operational burden—and you want to own your economics instead of renting them—OP Enterprise is for you.

OP Enterprise is a major focus for us in 2026.
We have active engagements across fintech, exchanges, payments, and financial services. The direction is clear: the OP Stack is becoming the standard for the next generation of financial systems.

This is the first of many announcements to come.
If you're serious about building onchain, we should talk.

[Optimist Prime @jinglejamOP]

Happy new year everyone! In November last year, I wrote about the changes we were making to refocus the team on what comes next for crypto.

Today, the @Optimism Foundation is proposing a token buyback. The goal is to unify the broader ecosystem outside of just our internal teams to prepare for the next wave of adoption.

Here’s where we are today: The Superchain is globally adopted infrastructure. It processes 13% of all blockchain transactions, with 61.4% of L2 fee market share.

Foundation and Labs are not solely responsible for this success. Legends like @base, @unichain, @inkonchain, @worldcoin, @Celo, @build_on_bob, @zora, @modenetwork and @Soneium chose the OP Stack and their growth demanded that we scale the infrastructure to support them. We are here today because our partners and integrators rolled up their sleeves and built together with us.

The OP token has historically had no tie to the performance of the Superchain, and we’d like to change that. OP should be an incentive alignment mechanism to unify all of us who are working towards the shared goal of innovating on the OP Stack and accelerating Superchain growth.

Every OP Chain contributes sequencer revenue to Optimism. In the past twelve months, Optimism has collected 5,868 ETH. This proposal directs 50% of incoming revenue to buy OP tokens monthly for the next year. OP tokens bought through this program flow back into the token treasury ecosystem. Governance retains oversight over buyback parameters and treasury management. The remaining ETH will be actively managed by the Foundation to fund operations, and grow the Superchain.

If approved, this proposal will transition OP from a pure governance token to a token tightly aligned with network growth. When an enterprise builds a new chain, the utility of the token increases and OP benefits. When builders choose the Superchain, the flywheel accelerates. Every transaction expands the base from which buybacks operate.

The governance proposal moves to vote on January 22. If approved, buybacks begin in February. We will be hosting a Twitter space with myself, @karl_dot_tech & @ben_chain on Jan 12th, 12pm EST for all your questions.

This program starts small and scales as we scale, and the role of the OP token will continue to evolve. But the direction is clear: the OP Stack is becoming the standard for the next generation of financial systems. This change aligns the OP token with that momentum, ensuring those building the most important financial infrastructure in crypto capture its impact.

This is a new era for OP, and the first of many announcements to come on our plans for 2026. Looking forward to the discussion!

Upgrade 17 is complete and sets the stage for the Jovian Hard Fork, activating on L2 today.

Here’s a closer look at what’s included 🧵

[Optimism @Optimism]

600,000 OP is allocated for Onchain Summer incentives!

Starting today, creators and builders can show their onchain creations on the Superchain and earn.

Networks included:
@base, @fraxfinance, @Metal_L2, @modenetwork, @ourZORA, @redstonexyz, @BuildOnCyber and OP Mainnet

[Liam Horne @liamihorne]

Optimism just enabled 4844 a few min ago.

From $0.32 to $0.0004 for a transaction!

Will rise over time as blob congestion picks up; but looks incredible to see how cheap we can make Ethereum!

[OP Michael @opmichael_eth]

Test in Prod (@testinprod_io) literally built & now maintain OP-Erigon, are an OP Stack core developer, but are only on 8 ballots right now.

IMO they are one of the clearest cases for RetroPGF.
