Cronos governance proposal passes to use product revenue for CRO buybacks and burns

Cronos has approved Cronos POS governance proposal #37, with voter participation at 48.36% and 99.78% of votes cast in favor. The proposal says 100% of revenue generated by Ult and Cronos Launch will be used to buy CRO on the open market, with the tokens then burned on-chain every month. Transaction hashes tied to those buyback-and-burn operations are set to be disclosed publicly. The proposal also calls for using the Strategic Reserve to supplement future Cronos POS staking rewards. At the same time, the measure is described as a signaling governance proposal rather than an executable one, meaning it does not include executable messages and will not directly change on-chain parameters. Product revenue is already trackable, while the buyback-and-burn contract and the related automation mechanism are still under development, according to the item cited by Techub News.

Cronos approves tokenomics proposals, bringing total CRO burned to 428 million

Cronos Network said two tokenomics proposals have passed community voting, clearing the way for additional CRO burn measures and a new revenue allocation plan. The network said 228 million CRO from the Cronos community pool has already been burned, taking the cumulative amount destroyed to 428 million CRO. Under the approved framework, 100% of revenue generated by Cronos Ult and Cronos Launch will be used to buy back CRO on the open market. Those tokens will then be burned on a monthly basis, and the related transaction hashes will be made public. Cronos also said its staking reward mechanism will remain unchanged. Funding for those rewards will continue to come from the strategic reserve, according to the update cited by Odaily.

Cronos says two tokenomics proposals passed, with 228 million CRO burned

Cronos Network said in a post on X that both of its tokenomics proposals have passed community voting. Following the vote, 228 million CRO from the Cronos community pool has been burned, bringing the network’s cumulative burn total to 428 million CRO. The project also said that 100% of revenue generated by Cronos Ult and Cronos Launch will be used to buy back CRO on the open market, with tokens to be burned on a monthly basis. Cronos added that the transaction hash for each buyback and burn will be made public. At the same time, the network said its staking rewards mechanism will remain unchanged, and that those rewards will continue to be funded by the Strategic Reserve.

15 crypto apps compared by buybacks and token payouts

A growing number of crypto projects are tying protocol income more directly to token value capture, but the mechanics vary sharply even when teams use the same labels. MarsBit reviewed 15 projects and compared how they generate income, what share of fees or revenue goes to buybacks, whether purchased tokens are burned, and whether holders receive any direct distribution. The list includes Hyperliquid, Pump.fun, Uniswap, Sky, Aave, Jupiter, Ethena, Morpho, Pons, PancakeSwap, Pendle, Raydium, ether.fi and Aster. Some models send nearly all designated fees into automated buybacks and permanent burns. Others route purchased tokens into treasury reserves or long-term lockups. In several cases, token holders only benefit indirectly, while stakers under separate programs receive the actual distribution. The article also draws a line between fees and revenue. High fee volume does not mean a protocol keeps the same amount after LP payouts, creator shares, rebates, market-maker arrangements or frontend incentives. It also argues that buyback headlines alone are not enough: investors still need to check whether the mechanism is automatic or discretionary, and whether token emissions and unlocks outweigh the amount being repurchased.

Ethereum staking reward burn proposal pulled from Hegota, authors push for separate process

A proposal to burn an increasing share of Ethereum staking rewards, EIP-8363, has been withdrawn from consideration for the network’s Hegota upgrade. Jérôme de Tychey, president of Ethereum France and a co-author of the proposal, said the issue had drawn enough concern that it should not be decided during a fork-scoping exercise. The proposal, titled Tapered Issuance Burn, would have burned part of validator rewards, with the burn rate rising as more ETH was staked and reaching 100% at 60.25 million ETH, or roughly half of supply. Its authors had planned an 18-month rollout and estimated that net yield could fall from about 2.6% to 1.2% under the staking ratio cited in the draft. The debate had already triggered pushback from figures including Aave founder and CEO Stani Kulechov, while the Ethereum Foundation’s Protocol cluster had previously declined the proposal for Hegota. De Tychey said the authors still support the proposal’s motivation and will seek a dedicated issuance process, with a draft timeline running from an issuance forum at Devcon in November to EthCC in April.

Polygon Chain staking rewards expected to rise to 7.7% on Oct. 1

Polygon Foundation said staking rewards on Polygon Chain are expected to increase to 7.7% on Oct. 1. Under PIP-92, 27.3 million POL in priority fees accumulated on the network will be directed over the next two months to boost rewards for stakers. The update was disclosed in a post from the foundation and cited by ChainCatcher. No additional implementation details were provided in the brief. The key points are the planned reward adjustment date, the new expected rate, and the use of accumulated priority fees under the proposal framework to raise returns for validators and other eligible stakers on the network.
