$AVNT Buy-Backs: Coming soon. Systematic $AVNT buy-backs (i.e buying back $AVNT from platform fees) are coming very soon! However, they will be introduced based on transparent milestones that balance platform growth (TVL, OI, fees) with sustainability (protocol treasury and and token value accrual).

Here's how we view this trade-off: Below a certain threshold (of protocol growth), buying back or diverting fee share to $AVNT implies risking platform growth (and operating profitability), both of which ultimately hurt the $AVNT token value accrual. Since TGE, a big reason why Avantis has grown 6x is 100% fee share to platform LPs, creating sticky a liquidity and trading flywheel.

However, after a certain threshold (of protocol growth), more and more fees (as % of total protocol revenue) should be used to buyback AVNT, which promotes deflationary mechanics (i.e no need for emissions to fund growth), systematic daily buy flows, and stronger alignment of all $AVNT stakeholders. This is crucial to scale $AVNT value accrual.
