Uniswap, Lido, and Aave Implement Token Buyback Programs Tied to Protocol Revenue

Major DeFi protocols are adopting corporate-style token buyback mechanisms to link governance tokens directly to protocol revenue. Uniswap proposed activating protocol fees to repurchase and burn UNI tokens on November 10, while Lido introduced an automated buyback system for LDO tied to staking revenue thresholds. These initiatives represent a shift from incentive-driven growth models toward revenue-focused capital allocation strategies.
