Odaily Planet Daily reports that the Optimism DAO began voting on a landmark proposal on January 23rd, suggesting that 50% of the Optimism Superchain network's revenue be used for monthly buybacks of OP governance tokens. However, the proposal has sparked controversy within the community. Supporters like Milo Bowman believe the buyback plan would boost the token price and demonstrate growth potential; while opponents like GFX Labs worry that the buyback, conducted through over-the-counter trading, lacks market transparency and could potentially impact the project's financial sustainability. Currently, delegates have cast over 3.8 million votes in favor of the proposal, with only approximately 19,000 votes against. Voting will continue until January 28th. (DL News)

Odaily Planet Daily reports that spot silver historically broke through $100 per ounce on Friday, officially entering the "triple-digit era," with a gain of nearly 40% in less than a month since the start of the year. This is mainly attributed to investors' preference for safe-haven assets, a weak dollar, and strong industrial demand. Saxo Bank analyst Ole Hansen stated, "Momentum has clearly become a significant part of this market trend, with FOMO (fear of missing out) playing a significant role as prices enter uncharted territory." However, he also pointed out, "It would be a mistake to simply view this rally as purely speculative." (Jinshi)
