What is OP?
About Optimism
OP is the governance and value-accrual token of the Optimism Collective, the organization governing OP Mainnet and the broader Superchain, a federation of Ethereum Layer 2 blockchains built on the open-source OP Stack. The Superchain includes OP Mainnet, Unichain (Uniswap), Worldchain (World/Worldcoin), Zora, Mode, and Ink (Kraken), among others. Base (Coinbase), which had been the main source of Superchain revenue, announced in February 2026 that it would move off the OP Stack and stop sharing revenue with the Optimism Collective. OP Mainnet uses optimistic rollups to batch transactions and post them to Ethereum for final settlement. OP holders vote through a bicameral governance structure: the Token House (token-weighted voting on protocol upgrades, treasury spending, and economic parameters) and the Citizens' House (identity-based governance distributing Retroactive Public Goods Funding to builders who contribute to the ecosystem). OP is not a gas token: all Superchain chains use ETH for transaction fees. OP's economic connection to the network comes through a buyback pilot, approved by governance in January 2026, that directs 50% of Superchain sequencer revenue toward monthly OP purchases over a 12-month period.
OP tokenomics
OP has a fixed initial total supply of 4,294,967,296 tokens (approximately 4.3 billion). The token is distributed through ongoing airdrops, ecosystem grants, RPGF rounds, and core contributor allocations, with the circulating supply increasing over time as locked allocations vest.
Total supply — 4,294,967,296 OP (approximately 4.3 billion); about 2.29 billion OP were in circulation as of November 2026, according to CoinGecko
Distribution model — ecosystem fund (25%), RPGF (20%), user airdrops (19%), core contributors (19%), investors (17%); airdrops have been distributed across multiple rounds rewarding OP Mainnet users, governance participants, and cross-chain contributors
Buyback pilot — governance approved in January 2026 (84.4% support) a 12-month pilot that uses 50% of Superchain sequencer revenue to buy OP on the open market every month; Base's exit in February 2026 removed its main revenue contributor
Governance — Token House votes on protocol upgrades, chain additions, and treasury allocation; Citizens' House distributes RPGF grants to public goods builders; both houses operate independently with distinct decision scopes
Superchain Upgrade 16 (July 2026) — approved through OP governance; prepares the OP Stack for cross-chain interoperability and raises the maximum gas limit from 200 million to 500 million gas per block
What determines OP's value
OP's value is tied to the economic activity of the Superchain rather than OP Mainnet alone. Under the buyback pilot approved in January 2026, 50% of sequencer revenue from participating chains is used to buy OP on the open market, so growth on chains such as Unichain, Worldchain, and Ink can add to demand without users touching OP Mainnet directly.
The Superchain model creates a network effect: each chain that shares revenue adds to the pool and to the shared interoperability tooling that Upgrade 16 prepares for. The risk is fragmentation, and it has already materialized. Base announced in February 2026 that it would move off the OP Stack and stop sharing revenue with the Optimism Collective, which sharply cut the expected size of the buyback. Token releases from remaining allocations add sell pressure that buybacks must absorb.

OP exists on OP Mainnet and as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. Both use the same 0x address format, so confirm the network the partner accepts before sending.
Open swapzone.io/exchange/optimism, enter the amount, and compare offers from partner exchanges by rate, time, and KYC label. Paste your wallet address on the right network, send OP to the deposit address, and track the order.
The buyback depends on chains that share revenue, and Base's exit reduced it sharply. Token releases from remaining allocations add supply over time.

The site experience was great. But choose your exchange platform wisely.
The site experience was great, as on previous occasions. I made a mistake, however, by choosing a different exchange provider, EasyBit, and the result was much worse than I was given to expect. Changelly was the best before and I will choose that option in future.

Unstaking ONT without having ONG
My problem was to unstake ONT in my wallet which I administrate with the Exodus software without having ONG for gas fee. The swapping function in Exodus is no longer available and they will suspend the support of Ontology soon. By means of the fantastic swapzone-node I was able now to swap TRX into ONG and receive the ONG directly at my adress of ONT-asset. So I was able to start the unstaking procedure. And one more advantage: The swapping of TRX to ONG and sending it to the ONG-adress was quite simple for beginners like me: I'm used to krypto ledger, but this was my first experience with swapping-nodes.
Great service with great support!
not so long ago I was looking for a service that allows you to exchange cryptocurrency quickly and effortlessly. today, when I once again decided to exchange usdt to eth - I wrote the wrong wallet, namely the wallet from the last exchange (incorrectly indicated the amount), to which the usdt should have been sent. after contacting support, I was almost immediately refunded, which I am very happy about! I recommend using this service! 100/100
Very competitive pricing and fast support - great!
I used swapzone.io over 10 times recently and never had an issue. In fact, I had once a visual bug of the swap interface when the funds were sent but it was correct again the second I started a chat with support. In less than 2 minutes I had a very friendly employee talking to me. Very competitive pricing and fast support.
everything was fine
i successfully exchanged currencies. it took just a couple of minutes
everything is in one place
I'm new to cryptocurrency, and I'm always frightened by the choice of services. I really liked that everything is in one place here, and you can choose from familiar names and compare prices between them. The exchange took place fast and without any problems.
I tried swapping nearly $1000 worth of
I tried swapping nearly $1000 worth of bitcoin with the cake app four different times this evening and it wouldn’t work. Thankfully, their support was able to give me my money back quick and I was able to come here and I found an even better rate than what I got with cake. This will probably be my new go to crypto swapping platform. 100 out of 10 recommend and you can order with confidence :-)

Easy to understand terminal, quick transaction. A bit of slippage on promised rate compared to what received - not sure why, as prices haven't changed by that percentage.

I wanted to share my experience after encountering a failed transaction earlier today. I contacted support, and the team was incredibly fast in getting back to me. They understood the problem immediately and helped me through the recovery process efficiently. It's situations like this that really show why prompt customer service is essential on an exchange. The quick resolution meant I didn't have to worry for long. Your help was much appreciated!

Honestly in this industry it’s hard to fbb in f great costed service but Liam at swapzone handled an issue for me and solved it and no bs just helping me out. Thank you. My first time using swap zone to swap crypto was great and I’ll be back now .
Read this carefully
Works every time and helps to find the best deal. Is what I would say if I wanted to leave regular review. What I am going to say is that this service is unmatched in crypto sphere how they handle their business. I sent crypto to a swap in 2 transactions instead of one(my mistake) and when I opened the chat and explained my issue they contacted the parter doing the swap and gave me option to get a refund or continue with the swap at the current rate. Others would just keep it of tell you its lost. So not only they help you find the swaps but they act as a liaison if there are issues.
perfect service
perfect service. great support. I can wholeheartedly recommend this service. The support is fast, helpful, and solution-oriented. You won't find that with other Exchange services. A++++ thanks
