JST Buybacks Signal a Shift in DeFi Governance Philosophy

Most DeFi protocols promise sustainability.

Few operationalize it.

JustLend’s JST buyback-and-burn program is funded by actual protocol income, not token emissions. That distinction is critical. It aligns token value with platform performance rather than dilution cycles.

The sequence matters: Revenue → Buyback → Burn → Scarcity

This mirrors traditional equity logic more than experimental DeFi mechanics. It tells participants that value accrual is tied to usage, not speculation.

Over time, such models change participant behavior. Holders begin to evaluate governance tokens as claims on productive systems rather than lottery tickets.

This is how DeFi grows up.

TRON’s ecosystem increasingly reflects this maturity: fewer promises, more accounting. That transition will separate durable protocols from temporary ones.
