Optimism Foundation Unleashes 343M OP Tokens into Circulation
The Optimism Foundation will release 343 million OP tokens into circulation between May 2026 and April 2027, increasing the circulating supply by about 15%.
This new supply comes from a total token supply of 4.295 billion, with roughly half still locked or reserved.
To mitigate potential sell pressure, a new mechanism will use 50% of Superchain revenue to buy back OP tokens from the market.
