JUST’s buyback-and-burn mechanism is more than a marketing initiative; it is a structural economic flywheel.
The protocol generates revenue through lending interest, staking operations, energy rental, and ecosystem participation. A portion of this revenue is used to buy JST from the market. The acquired tokens are then permanently burned, reducing circulating supply.
This creates a deflationary model supported by real cashflow. Over time, if protocol usage increases, the amount of revenue available for buybacks grows. That means more JST is burned, tightening supply and increasing scarcity.
This flywheel connects fundamental usage to token value:
More users → more revenue
More revenue → larger buybacks
Larger buybacks → more token burn
More token burn → increased scarcity
Increased scarcity → stronger long-term value
This is one of the most sustainable DeFi tokenomics designs, because the price support comes from protocol productivity—not inflation, not hype, but actual income generation.
