Optimism to Unlock 560 Million OP Tokens

Optimism is scheduled to unlock 560 million OP tokens, which are allocated to its team and investors. This significant unlock is noted in comparison to Arbitrum's tokenomics, where 1.1 billion ARB tokens (27% of supply) are also unlocking through December 2026. The insight highlights that Arbitrum generates $2-5 million monthly in sequencer revenue, none of which currently flows to ARB token holders, implying a similar structure for Optimism.
