OP Mainnet: Distribution of Network REV

Distribution of Network REV between stakeholders

About this Chart

Network REV (Real Economic Value) is the measure of user demand to transact on a blockchain. It consists of all transaction fees and out-of-protocol tips paid for transaction execution. In the case of OP Mainnet, there are no out-of-protocol tips, so all REV is generated by in-protocol transaction fees.

Ethereum: The L2 (OP Mainnet) pays transaction fees on the L1 (Ethereum) to post transaction data, purchase blobs, and post stateroots. These costs are passed back to the user transaction on the L2.

OP Collective: OP Mainnet is the flagship L2 launched using the OP Stack. It plays a unique role in the Optimism ecosystem, contributing 100% of its net onchain sequencer revenue (Network REV less L1 Operator Payments) to the Optimism Collective which is governed by the OP Token Holders.
