Contango announces TANGO token buybacks following the recent Balancer exploit response.
Key Details:
- Buybacks will use 100% of protocol fees collected since the exploit
- 100% of future protocol fees will fund buybacks until v3 launch
- Maintaining current 80/20 Balancer pool as primary liquidity
- Purchased tokens will be held in Treasury
Why This Matters:
- 80/20 pool offers lower impermanent loss for liquidity providers
- Configuration amplifies market impact of buybacks
- Supports healthier token environment during v3 transition
Timeline: Buybacks executed via TWAP orders over coming weeks. Team will review pool performance after initial phase to determine next steps for protocol-owned liquidity.
Contango remains fully operational with v3 development as top priority.
