January 29 — Forbes reports that two projects co-founded by Sam Altman are reportedly merging to build a "humans-only" social media platform.
Anonymous sources cited in the report say OpenAI — the AI firm co-founded by Altman — may use Worldcoin’s Orb eye-scanning device to verify users are human on its planned social network. Worldcoin, developed by Tools for Humanity (another Altman co-founded venture), previously drew millions of users to sign up and claim its WLD cryptocurrency via a "scan-to-earn" token distribution model.

**Optimism Governance Approves Proposal Tying OP Token to Superchain Revenue**
January 29: Optimism’s governance framework has passed a proposal to better link the OP token to the Superchain’s economic performance—marking a major shift in the token’s value and utility within one of Ethereum’s largest Layer 2 ecosystems.
Under the plan, during a 12-month pilot starting in February, the Optimism Foundation will use 50% of the Superchain sequencer’s net revenue to regularly buy back OP tokens. The remaining revenue will still go toward the ecosystem fund, project funding, and operational costs.
Per data from Optimism’s on-chain governance portal, the proposal secured 84.4% approval after days of discussion among delegates and token holders.
This marks Optimism’s first formal push to align OP token demand with Superchain network activity. The Superchain is a growing set of chains built on the OP Stack, including OP Mainnet, Base, Unichain, World Chain, Soneium, Ink, and others.
