$JST is demonstrating what disciplined, long-term value creation looks like in decentralized finance not through promises or marketing narratives, but through consistent, verifiable execution.
In an ecosystem where token burns are often symbolic, the $JST Buyback & Burn program stands out as a deliberate economic mechanism designed to strengthen the protocol, align incentives, and reduce circulating supply in a meaningful way.

The first buyback and burn phase marked a foundational step in JST’s token-economic strategy. Treasury resources were deployed strategically to repurchase JST directly from the open market, ensuring demand was introduced in a controlled and transparent manner.

Phase 1 Results
•559,890,753 JST permanently burned
•$17.73 million removed from circulating supply
Phase 1 validated the model and demonstrated the protocol’s commitment to executing supply-reduction measures at scale.

Building on the success of Phase 1, Phase 2 expanded the scope of the program. The protocol once again conducted market buybacks, followed by irreversible token burns, reinforcing confidence and consistency in execution.
Phase 2 Results
•525,000,000 JST permanently burned
•Approximately $21 million removed from circulation
Phase 2 confirmed that the initiative was not a one-time action, but a repeatable and disciplined process aligned with long-term objectives.
Aggregate Impact
Across both phases, the Buyback & Burn program has achieved the following:
•1,084,890,753 JST permanently destroyed
•10.96% of total token supply eliminated
•Approximately $38.7 million in value removed from circulation
This level of supply reduction represents a significant structural change to JST’s token economics.
Strategic Implications
The sustained reduction in circulating supply contributes to:
•Improved token-supply efficiency
•Stronger alignment between protocol performance and token holders
•Enhanced long-term sustainability of the ecosystem
•Greater resilience against dilution
Importantly, these outcomes are driven by mechanism rather than narrative emphasizing execution over speculation.

All buyback and burn activities are fully transparent and verifiable on-chain. Each transaction, burn address, and phase is publicly accessible, reinforcing accountability and trust.
Conclusion
The $JST Buyback & Burn program represents a systematic, data-driven approach to value creation in DeFi. Phase 1 established the framework, Phase 2 confirmed consistency, and together they signal a clear commitment to disciplined token-economic management.
This initiative is not an endpoint, but a foundation positioning $JST for sustainable growth and long-term ecosystem strength.
