Aave DAO approves $1 million weekly token buyback despite market downturn

Aave, one of the largest DeFi protocols, has approved a $1 million token buyback initiative that will begin on April 9. The proposal received overwhelming support with 439,000 votes in favor, well above the required quorum. This move is part of a broader strategy to enhance Aave’s tokenomics and align long-term protocol incentives. However, the announcement comes amid a significant price decline in AAVE’s market value, dropping nearly 21% in the last 24 hours.

Marc Zeller, founder of the Aave Chan Initiative, revealed that DAO buybacks aim to own 2.5% of AAVE’s token supply by the end of the year. The first phase of the buyback initiative will start with a $4 million allocation from aEthUSDT to fund approximately one month of AAVE token buybacks. The overall program plans to repurchase up to $1 million worth of AAVE weekly over six months. This phased approach allows the protocol to finalize the deployment of an updated Aave Swapper contract to automate future buybacks.

The newly passed proposal also establishes the Aave Finance Committee (AFC) to oversee treasury activity and buyback execution. The AFC will ensure that all spending stays within approved budgets and adheres to governance guidelines. These safeguards aim to promote transparency and accountability in the buyback program. Zeller hinted that the six-month timeline for the buyback initiative could be extended, similar to past initiatives like Merit which ran for over a year.

The $1 million token buyback initiative is a pivotal step in strengthening Aave’s tokenomics and enhancing long-term incentives within the protocol. The DAO’s approval of the proposal reflects strong community support for initiatives aimed at improving Aave’s governance and financial strategies. By automating future buybacks and introducing oversight through the Aave Finance Committee, the protocol aims to ensure the success and sustainability of the program amid changing market conditions.

Ultimately, the buyback initiative underscores Aave’s commitment to enhancing its token economics and aligning incentives for long-term protocol growth. With the goal of owning 2.5% of AAVE’s token supply by the end of the year, the DAO’s decision to implement the buyback program signals a proactive approach to managing the protocol’s treasury and fostering community engagement. As the program unfolds over the next six months, stakeholders will closely monitor its performance and make adjustments as needed to optimize the effectiveness of the buyback initiative.
