Aave Expected to Increase ezETH Caps

**Renzo Protocol** has integrated **Ink Network** bridging capabilities directly into its user interface, allowing users to seamlessly bridge ezETH tokens to the Ink blockchain. **Key Features:** - Direct bridging through [Renzo's platform](https://app.renzoprotocol.com/bridge?toChainId=57073) - Unified interface for multiple blockchain routes - Instant ezETH transfers to Ink Network The integration represents Renzo's continued expansion of cross-chain functionality for its liquid restaking token. **More DeFi integrations** are planned for the near future. *Start bridging ezETH to Ink Network through Renzo's streamlined interface.*

**Renzo Protocol** has initiated a major **$REZ buyback and burn program** targeting 10% of total token supply over 6 months. **Key Details:** - 9% of purchased tokens will be **burned**, 1% allocated to $ezREZ stakers - **75-100% of protocol revenue** will fund the program - Initial 1% purchase (2.3% of circulating supply) already executed - Automated market buys designed to minimize slippage **Why Now?** With 42.6% of $REZ in circulation, Renzo considers itself substantially decentralized. The protocol is generating real revenue with new products in pipeline, creating opportunity to return value to token holders. **Implementation:** Buybacks will be automated through [smart contract](https://etherscan.io/address/0x8d8Cf66582e5866c99fDb548E424b13d26B28599). Burns go directly to dead address. Monthly reports will track progress via Dune Dashboard. The proposal is live on [governance forum](https://gov.renzoprotocol.com/t/rez-buyback-burn-program/251) for community discussion before Snapshot voting.
