Lista DAO has introduced LIP 024, proposing a complete restructuring of $LISTA tokenomics.​ The proposal eliminates the veLISTA staking mechanism, allowing all locked tokens to be released penalty-free.​

Key changes include:

  • Simplified governance: Holding $LISTA becomes the only requirement for voting eligibility, with LP pool voting being phased out
  • Revenue model shift: Revenue sharing for veLISTA stakers replaced with protocol-funded $LISTA buybacks, tracked via public dashboard
  • Expanded utility: New "delayed liquidation" feature launching Q2 2026 to increase token use cases

The proposal marks a departure from the previous deflationary approach (LIP 016) that locked 40% of buyback tokens permanently.​ Instead, buyback funds will support protocol growth and user benefits.​

Voting runs until April 2, 2026 at 8:20 AM UTC.​ A "Yes" vote approves implementation of Tokenomics 2.​0, while "No" maintains the current veLISTA model.​
