Optimism The foundation proposes returning funds to key partners OP Mainnet sequencer fees
BlockBeats reports,October 29，Optimism The foundation submitted a proposal to the governance forum, requesting authorization to return funds to certain key market expansion partners in OP Mainnet. The rebates will be paid from ETH fee revenue rather than OP tokens. The foundation said this measure could be used selectively without increasing the circulating OP supply, and the buyback experiment will be calculated based on net revenue after deducting the rebates.
The proposal requires the rebates to achieve activity milestones, have a fixed term, and be used selectively only when the overall terms are favorable to Optimism when appropriate. The foundation plans to disclose, in its annual collective budget report, the proportion of total returns relative to sequencer and priority fee revenue within a fixed percentage range.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
This is a partner incentive arrangement that remains at the proposal stage: eligible partners that OP Mainnet generate activity may receive corresponding sequencer fee rebates. The rebate funding comes from ETH fee revenue, so it will not directly increase the OP token's OP circulating supply through issuance; however, rebates will be deducted from the related revenue.
Why it matters to readers
This proposal concerns OP Mainnet how fee revenue is used to incentivize market expansion partners, and will also affect the method used to calculate net revenue for the buyback experiment.
Beginners should distinguish between “submitting a proposal” and “having it executed”: the original text states only that the foundation has requested governance authorization and does not state that the proposal has been approved. Subsequently, they may monitor disclosures regarding rebate conditions, duration, scale, and the share of revenue involved.
Risks and unknowns
The original text does not state whether the proposal has received governance approval.
The original text does not disclose the specific rebate recipients, rebate amounts, or a fixed percentage range.
The original text provides no results on whether partner incentives can generate sustained activity growth.
The actual impact of refunds on net revenue from sequencers and priority fees remains unclear.
