The second $JST Buyback & Burn is now fully completed, and beyond the headline number, this update quietly confirms how JustLend DAO is positioning itself as a revenue-driven DeFi protocol rather than one dependent on inflation or short-term incentives.
JustLend DAO operates as the core money market within the TRON ecosystem, and JST functions as its governance token.
In October 2025, the community of JustLend DAO approved a proposal that permanently linked protocol performance to JST supply dynamics.
The rule is simple and strict: protocol earnings are not stockpiled or diluted away, they are used to reduce circulating supply.
Under the approved framework:
โ All JustLend DAO net income is used to buy back JST
โ Any USDD multichain ecosystem revenue above $10 million is added to the same pool
โ Bought-back tokens are sent directly to a burn address
โ Every step happens on-chain, without exceptions
This second execution took place on January 15, 2026 (SGT) and used real, already-earned revenue:
โ Q4 2025 net income: $10,192,875
โ Carried-over income from prior periods: $10,340,249
That capital funded the permanent removal of:
โก 525,000,000 JST
โก Estimated value of roughly $21 million
โก Burned via a single confirmed on-chain transaction
โก Transaction hash: 5c7cd68483f1d32aebe1084b3dc9a6b742092bde1153db72b79a866617c14314
From a supply perspective, this round alone eliminated 5.3% of the total JST supply. Cumulatively, JustLend DAO has now burned 1,084,890,753 JST, meaning 10.96% of all tokens that ever existed are gone permanently.
This has several direct consequences that are easy to overlook if you only skim the announcement.
๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐๐, this establishes a clear revenue-to-token feedback loop. As protocol usage grows and income increases, more JST is removed from circulation. That ties token economics to actual platform performance, not speculation or emissions.
๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐ฑ, governance here has teeth. This burn was not a discretionary decision made after the fact. It was a pre-approved rule executed exactly as voted. That strengthens trust in DAO governance because outcomes are predictable and enforced by process, not promises.
๐ง๐ต๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฑ, dilution pressure is structurally reduced. With quarterly burns funded by income, JST holders are no longer relying on demand alone to offset supply growth. Supply contraction is now a built-in mechanism.
๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐๐ต, transparency is non-negotiable. Anyone can verify the burn, the amounts, the destination address, and the timing directly on-chain. There is no dependency on reports or third-party confirmation.
Looking ahead:
โซ๏ธBuyback & Burn executions will continue quarterly
โซ๏ธOperations are managed through JustLend Grants DAO
โซ๏ธFinancial disclosures and transaction records will be released each cycle
โซ๏ธThe mechanism scales with protocol success rather than requiring new incentives
This update signals that JustLend DAO is transitioning from incentive-driven growth to a sustainability-driven model, where revenue discipline, governance execution, and token mechanics reinforce each other over time.

For anyone tracking DeFi protocols that prioritize real yield, accountable governance, and on-chain enforcement, this burn isnโt just a number โ itโs a system working exactly as designed.
