PONS founder says buyback burns are automated, with fund claims moving to a 7-day cycle

PONS founder Ozzy responded on Oct. 3 to community criticism over the project’s buyback-and-burn mechanism, apologizing for earlier misunderstandings in prior communication. The questions raised by user yyy focused on whether escrow funds still had to be moved manually into the buyback distributor, why funds had not entered the distributor for more than five days, whether the current burn pace was about $120,000 per day, and whether the previously promised automatic claim function for escrow funds had actually gone live. Ozzy said some of those concerns were valid. He acknowledged that the buyback-and-burn rate has not yet been adjusted and that the claim step had not previously been fully decentralized. According to Ozzy, the team is upgrading the contract so the new mechanism will claim funds once every seven days, then use those funds for buybacks and burns over the following seven days in a repeating cycle. He added that all buyback and burn operations are now automated, that anyone can trigger the bot to execute them and receive a small reward, and that future buyback funds will be shown in two sections: the Active Buyback Vault and funds reserved for the next cycle.

Ignas says tokenomics innovation is returning as crypto projects try to give tokens real value

DeFi researcher Ignas said in a post on X that he had been concerned tokenomics innovation had stalled, but now sees signs that the sector is experimenting again. After a cycle dominated by low-float, high fully diluted valuation token launches, he said crypto projects are testing new structures aimed at making tokens more than fundraising instruments. Ignas pointed to several examples. ZCAT uses a 3% transfer tax to provide ZEC rewards to holders. BUN/Mosh uses a "Bundle Launch" model that lets capital backers share trading fees while preventing LP withdrawals. STONK directs fee revenue to buy back and burn the top 15 compliant tokens on a market-cap-weighted basis. VVV/DIEM allows users to stake VVV to mint DIEM, then stake DIEM to receive daily AI credits. ORBIO converts trading fees into AI credits for stakers. BP requires staking for at least one year to qualify for future IPO equity conversion rights, with token supply unlocks tied to project growth milestones. Even so, Ignas said many of these mechanisms still depend on continued speculative trading, and that speculation remains the dominant force in the crypto market.

Long.xyz launches LONG 500, routes 5% of fees from new stock pairs to AI reserve

Long.xyz, a meme-token launch platform for tokenized stocks on Robinhood Chain, said on Sept. 26 that it has introduced "LONG 500," a product aimed at building a financial layer for onchain stock communities. The project described its goal as becoming the "S&P 500 for tokenized stocks" while turning the AI community treasury into a diversified reserve owned by the community on Robinhood Chain. The platform currently supports more than 70 tokenized stocks. Under the newly announced mechanism, every newly launched stock-pair pool will direct part of its stock-token trading fees into the meme coin AI community treasury. Long.xyz said this structure is designed to let AI holders gain exposure to and support new stock communities, while allowing project creators to connect with the existing AI community and its user base. For each new stock-pair pool, 5% of fees will go to the AI reserve, and another 5% will be used to buy back and burn the token paired with the stock. The buyback can be triggered by anyone around the clock. Long.xyz added that the liquidity-pool auto-compounding mechanism will remain in place and creator fees will stay unchanged. The team also plans to upgrade the community treasury for all previously listed pairs and add new features.

Cronos Labs proposes using all product revenue to buy back and burn CRO

Cronos Labs has opened a governance proposal on GitHub that would direct 100% of product revenue from Ult and Cronos Launch to buying back CRO on the open market and burning the tokens. The plan calls for monthly on-chain buybacks and burns, with every transaction hash made public to create a direct link between product revenue, CRO repurchases, and supply reduction. The proposal would replace an earlier revenue allocation model under the previously approved “New CRO Era” plan, which had split product revenue across staking yield, growth and user acquisition, buybacks and burns, and R&D and operations. Under the new proposal, operating, infrastructure, and growth costs would instead be covered by existing funds. Cronos Labs also said it plans to use its strategic reserve to support future Cronos POS staking rewards as CRO inflation emissions decline under the prior framework. The proposal says current reward parameters would be maintained, while staking methods, lock-up periods, and the reward structure would stay unchanged. The measure is still in the discussion stage and would later move to an on-chain governance vote. Voting would last 14 days, with a quorum of 33.4% of staked CRO and approval requiring more than 50% of non-abstaining votes.
