Lido DAO weighs linking 2027 grant budget to automated LDO buybacks

  • —NEST counter at minus $564,230.96 on Oct. 13, allocation skipped
  • —NEST daily staking revenue baseline is $109,589, about $40 million a year
  • —Buyback caps: $50,000 daily and $10 million per 365-day window
  • —At a $40 million threshold, mean modeled purchases were $2.32 million, median zero
Why it matters: The decision determines whether the DAO can buy back LDO while its spending counter is negative, affecting token supply and treasury income.
