Optimism Governance organizes decision-making across two distinct chambers: the Token House, composed of OP token holders who weigh in on technical and economic matters, and the Citizens' House, representing users, applications, and chains within the ecosystem. The OP token launched in May 2022 as the governance token underpinning both houses. The Superchain itself is a network of blockchains built on a shared codebase, unified by common security standards, governance rules, and values.
Optimism Governance has been an active site of governance experimentation. Season 9, which concluded on June 3, 2026, featured trials of non-plutocratic voting mechanisms, optimistic approvals, and futarchy, reflecting an ongoing effort to move beyond token-weighted governance toward more representative models.
