Shape the future of STON.fi

This proposal advocates for the permanent burning of 50% of STON tokens previously repurchased by the treasury through buyback operations. The motivation is to remove these tokens from circulation, thereby reducing the total supply, enhancing market confidence, and ensuring greater transparency regarding the token's economics. The process involves identifying the specified tokens, sending them to an unrecoverable burn address, publicly verifying the transaction, and updating all relevant documentation to reflect the reduced supply. While this action would permanently reduce the treasury's flexibility, it aligns with a long-term strategy of scarcity and deflation for the STON ecosystem. This move signals a commitment to hard scarcity over treasury accumulation.

This proposal requests the STON.fi DAO to approve a capped operational budget allocation for the Ston Foundation for the 2026 budget period. The requested budget includes USD 2,500,000 in stablecoins and 4,000,000 STON tokens to cover essential operational expenses. These expenses encompass technical development, marketing, ecosystem engagement, core contributors, and administrative support for the STON.fi protocol. The Foundation will execute activities, manage contractors, and provide regular reports to the DAO, ensuring transparent and accountable use of funds for agreed development directions such as the AMM Protocol and Omniston infrastructure.
