Lending market tokenomics shows how far DeFi has matured. 5 out of 10 top lending protocols now share revenue with holders: • Aave: Snapshot vote passed to enshrine $50M/yr in buybacks • Maple: 20–25% of revenue buys back and rewards stSYRUP stakers • Fluid: Began buybacks Oct 6 after $10M annual revenue, already 0.36% of supply bought back • Venus: 20% of revenue buys back $XVS and 25% of BNB Chain revenue burns $BNB • JustLend: 30% of revenue to quarterly JST burns, first $17.7M (5.66% supply) in Oct 2025 Spark and Kamino have point programs for airdrop. Morpho, Compound, and Euler remain governance only for now.
Btw, correct me here if I am wrong! A few interesting notes: - Venus burns BNB as BNB holders covered Venus’s old bad debts. - Massive ~$17M for JST buy backs come from the $17m JustLend DAO’s net protocol revenue plus excess income from the USDD stablecoin!
