Lido DAO proposes automated LDO buyback mechanism
Summary
The Steakhouse Finance Workstream within Lido DAO has put forward a proposal for an automated buyback mechanism for its LDO tokens, designed to increase holder value and improve on-chain liquidity. This system would utilize NEST-powered automation to execute buybacks and establish an LDO/wstETH liquidity pool on a decentralized exchange, with the resulting LP tokens managed by Aragon Agent. The automated framework is conditional, activating only when the price of ETH surpasses $3,000 and annualized DAO revenue exceeds $40 million. This initiative, which mirrors MakerDAO’s Smart Burn Engine, could result in up to $10 million in annual buybacks, strengthening LDO's value during periods of strong ETH performance and revenue growth.
