Renzo Protocol Launches Major Buyback Program Targeting 10% of Total REZ Supply
**Renzo Protocol** has initiated a significant buyback and burn program targeting **10% of total $REZ supply** over the next 6 months. **Key Details:** - Initial 1% of supply already purchased using Q3 2025 revenue - **75-100% of future protocol revenue** will fund the program - 9% of purchased tokens will be **burned**, 1% allocated to $ezREZ stakers - Program runs for 6 months or until 10% target is met **Why Now?** With 42.6% of $REZ in circulation, the protocol is considered substantially decentralized. Real revenue generation from new products creates an opportunity to return value to token holders. **Implementation:** Automated market purchases will minimize slippage, with burns sent directly to the dead address. Monthly reports will track progress via Dune Dashboard and CoinMarketCap. The proposal is currently live on the [governance forum](https://gov.renzoprotocol.com/t/rez-buyback-burn-program/251) for community discussion before moving to Snapshot voting.
