RIVER Advances With Optimism's Enterprise-Grade Blockchain Infrastructure

• Optimism launched OP Enterprise, a platform for enterprises to build scalable and secure blockchains with production-grade capabilities.
• OP Enterprise supports three deployment models—fully managed, self-managed, and deployment on OP Mainnet—allowing flexibility in control and operational burden.
• The Optimism DAO approved a 12-month token buyback plan, using 50% of Superchain sequencer revenue for recurring OP token buybacks.

OP Enterprise represents a major development in blockchain infrastructure, offering enterprises scalable and secure solutions to deploy custom blockchains. The platform's flexible deployment models aim to cater to a wide range of business needs, from fully managed to self-managed environments. With baseline throughput of 10 Mgas per second and the potential to scale to 100+ Mgas per second, OP Enterprise is designed to handle high transaction volumes efficiently.

The platform's three deployment options allow enterprises to choose the level of control and operational responsibility they prefer. The fully managed model minimizes operational burden, while the self-managed model provides more control over the deployment process. The deployment on OP Mainnet option integrates with Optimism's existing blockchain network, enabling enterprises to leverage its security and scalability.

In addition to infrastructure support, Optimism has implemented a token buyback plan to stabilize the value of the OP token. By directing 50% of Superchain sequencer revenue toward recurring buybacks over 12 months, the platform aims to create a feedback loop that could sustain token value growth. The buyback plan begins in February 2026 and is expected to continue for the duration of the 12-month period.

What is OP Enterprise?

OP Enterprise is Optimism's production-grade blockchain infrastructure designed for enterprises. It allows businesses to launch scalable, secure, and customizable blockchains tailored to their specific needs. The platform aims to reduce the complexity and cost of deploying blockchain solutions by offering pre-built tools and integration options.

The infrastructure is built on Optimism's existing blockchain technology and leverages its security features to ensure enterprise-grade performance. It supports a baseline throughput of 10 Mgas per second and can scale to over 100 Mgas per second, making it suitable for high-demand applications.

By using OP Enterprise, enterprises can benefit from Optimism's proven track record in blockchain development and deployment. The platform is designed to be user-friendly, allowing businesses to deploy and manage their blockchains without requiring extensive technical expertise.

What Are the Deployment Models Offered by OP Enterprise?

OP Enterprise offers three deployment models—fully managed, self-managed, and deployment on OP Mainnet. Each model provides different levels of control and operational responsibility for enterprises.

The fully managed model is designed for businesses that prefer a hands-off approach. In this model, Optimism handles most of the deployment and management tasks, allowing enterprises to focus on their core operations.

The self-managed model provides more control to enterprises, allowing them to configure and manage their blockchains according to their specific requirements. This model is ideal for businesses that have the technical expertise to handle deployment and management tasks in-house.

The deployment on OP Mainnet model integrates enterprise blockchains with Optimism's mainnet, enabling businesses to leverage the existing infrastructure and security features. This model is suitable for enterprises that want to deploy their blockchains while still benefiting from Optimism's ecosystem.

How Does the Token Buyback Plan Work?

The Optimism DAO approved a 12-month token buyback plan, using 50% of Superchain sequencer revenue for recurring OP token buybacks. The plan is designed to stabilize the value of the OP token and demonstrate commitment to token holders.

The buyback plan begins in February 2026 and is expected to continue for the duration of the 12-month period. By using Superchain sequencer revenue, the buyback plan creates a feedback loop that could sustain token value growth.

The token buyback plan is a key component of Optimism's strategy to maintain the value of the OP token and attract long-term investors. By directing a portion of sequencer revenue toward buybacks, Optimism aims to reduce the circulating supply of the OP token and increase demand.
