Optimism Foundation proposes rebating a portion of sequencer fees to ecosystem partners to incentivize OP Mainnet growth.

on October 29, according to disclosures on the Optimism governance forum, the Optimism Foundation proposed refunding sequencer fees to select partners who bring critical business activity to OP Mainnet, with the refunded funds coming from ETH fee revenue generated by related transactions, rather than from OP tokens. The plan requires that the refund amount not exceed the fee revenue brought by the partners, and sets activity milestones, fixed partnership terms, and performance requirements. The Foundation also plans to disclose the range of the total refunds as a proportion of sequencer and priority transaction fee revenue in its annual budget report. The proposal is still pending governance approval.
