Optimism Is Done With “Ethereum Alignment” — Users Come First

Jing Wang outlines Optimism’s enterprise pivot: tying OP token value to real revenue, offering customizable enterprise chains, and preparing a modular shift to ZK proofs as on‑chain finance scales.

Key Takeaways

New buyback tokenomics will use half of on‑chain revenue to buy OP, with OP Mainnet receiving 100% and other chains contributing the greater of 2.5% revenue or 15% profits.
OP Enterprise offers customizable standalone chains that preserve shared upgradability, security and liquidity while letting enterprises control economics, chain parameters, and risk.
Optimism prioritizes client‑specific privacy and compliance: KYC, tunable access roles, and per‑partner implementations to match legal and UX needs.
Labels like L1/L2 matter less than clear, strong security; stage‑two aims to transition systems toward immutable decentralization while enabling fast, use‑case driven upgrades.
The stack is modular and ZK‑ready: large ZK grants and production‑grade prover infrastructure position Optimism to swap optimistic proofs for ZK when customer‑ready.
OP stack drives major transaction volume (~13% of crypto), supports Base and large exchanges, and focuses on partner onboarding and revenue‑generating activity over raw TVL growth.
