Aave’s decentralized self-governing company (DAO) presented a proposition to develop a long-lasting, protocol-funded buyback program that would consume to $50 million in yearly profits to repurchase Aave tokens.
The proposition, sent on Wednesday by the Aave Chan Effort (ACI), looks for to make buybacks an irreversible element of Aave’s tokenomics. Under the strategy, the Aave Financing Committee (AFC) and TokenLogic would lead the execution, buying $250,000 to $1.75 million in Aave (AAVE) tokens weekly, depending upon market conditions, liquidity and volatility.
If authorized, the proposition will continue through the Aave Ask For Remark (ARFC) phase for neighborhood feedback, followed by a Picture vote and last onchain governance verification. Unlike short-term market interventions, the proposition intends to institutionalise buybacks as a repeating system, basically making the DAO an active capital allocator.
The ACI stated the program constructs on the success of other buyback efforts. In April, Aave skyrocketed by 13% as the neighborhood authorized a $4 million token buyback.
Buyback strategy broadens on previous propositions
The $50 million buyback proposition follows an earlier effort proposed on Friday, which required an instant $20 million buyback to profit from the Aave token’s undervaluation.
The earlier strategy placed the token as substantially underpriced relative to its principles.
It argued that Aave’s treasury had adequate surplus money to perform the buyback without jeopardizing its functional expenditures or reserves.
While the $20 million strategy was developed as a short-term procedure, the current proposition looks for to make buybacks continuous, embedding them straight into the DAO’s governance and treasury management.
The relocation would move Aave from opportunistic market responses towards a methodical, rule-based capital technique, echoing corporate-style monetary management.
