Pons Founder: PONS New Buyback Mechanism Will Claim Funds Every 7 Days, Then Complete Buyback and Burn in the Following 7 Days
Odaily News: Pons founder Ozzy posted on X in response to community questions about the PONS buyback and burn mechanism, stating that the burn rate has indeed not yet been adjusted, and that the "Claim" process is still not fully decentralized.
He stated that an on-chain contract upgrade is currently underway. The new buyback mechanism plans to execute a Claim every 7 days, then use all claimed funds over the following 7 days to buy back and burn PONS, repeating this cycle to establish a more sustainable buyback and burn mechanism. All buyback and burn operations are now automated. Anyone can trigger the bot and receive a small reward for doing so.
He further stated that the previously set buyback and burn rate was 2e per hour, which, combined with the Splitter (fund allocation contract) currently holding about $950,000, matches a 7-day buyback cycle. After funds are claimed, they will also be automatically executed on a 7-day cycle, so buyback funds will appear in two separate sections: one is the Active Buyback Vault currently conducting buybacks, and the other is the buyback funds reserved for the next week.
Previously, crypto analyst yyy posted on X stating that Pons had not replenished funds to the buyback distributor for over 5 days, with about $440,000 in pending claimable funds in the escrow account. The analyst believed that untimely fund Claims led to the recent low PONS burn rate, and called for promoting decentralization of escrow account fund claims.
