Optimism Foundation Proposes Returning a Portion of Sequencer Fees to Ecosystem Partners to Incentivize OP Mainnet Growth

TechFlow reported on October 29 that, according to disclosures on the Optimism governance forum, the Optimism Foundation has proposed returning sequencer fees to certain partners that bring key business activity to OP Mainnet. The refunded funds will come from ETH fee revenue generated by related transactions, not OP tokens. The proposal requires that the amount refunded not exceed the fee revenue brought in by the partners, and sets activity milestones, fixed partnership terms, and performance requirements. The Foundation also plans to disclose in its annual budget report the percentage range of total refunds relative to sequencer and priority fee revenue. The proposal remains pending governance approval.
