The Steakhouse Finance Workstream, a finance unit within Lido DAO, has proposed an automated LDO token buyback mechanism intended to boost holder value and improve on-chain liquidity through systematic token repurchases.
The proposal outlines a NEST-powered approach that would automate LDO buybacks while providing on-chain liquidity via an LDO/wstETH Uniswap v2-style liquidity pool. The LP position would be established on the decentralized exchange, and the corresponding LP tokens would be held and managed by Aragon Agent.
The automated buyback framework would activate only under favorable market conditions: when ETH exceeds $3,000 and annualized DAO revenue tops $40 million.
The plan mirrors MakerDAO’s Smart Burn Engine and could see up to $10 million in annual buybacks, reinforcing LDO’s value during periods of strong ETH performance and DAO revenue growth.
