Solana's co-founder shared an interesting idea about token protocol design: project teams should genuinely accumulate funds in the treasury to reserve for future token buybacks. The advantage of this approach is—since buybacks are a thing—those tokens about to be unlocked will be priced based on the expected price after buyback, rather than worrying about selling pressure. In simple terms, this uses a confirmed buyback expectation to stabilize the market's price expectations for unlocked tokens. This idea addresses a common challenge faced by DeFi projects: how to maintain price stability and investor confidence during a wave of token unlocks.
