- Jito token holders vote to create a subdao.
- The SUBDAO is designed to strengthen the JTO governance token.
- The proposal should pass.
Jito, a Solana Defi protocol focused on liquid stimulation and the optimization of MEVs, is preparing to create a new subdao responsible for developing the protocol and increasing the value of its JTO governance token.
The so-called Cryptoeconomics Subdao will be controlled by a group of DEFI experts.
They will refine and implement new strategies such as token buyouts, yield grants and a pricing safe in order to strengthen the JTO token price, according to the proposal written by Nick Almond, Jito governance manager.
Jito launched his JTO token at the end of 2023. He initially climbed to a summit of $ 6.01 in the middle of a wave of enthusiasm for Solana Defi applications. However, the token struggled to maintain its value and fell 67% compared to its peak.
Jito token holders are all on the Subdao idea. Friday, they started to vote on the proposal.
Until now, 12.7 million votes have been expressed in favor, and only five against. The support of the votes has already reached the quorum, which means that the proposal has received enough support to pass.
Jito is governed by a DAO, a type of crypto collective where chip holders vote on the modifications of a DEFI protocol.
However, many DAOS think that chip holders decide a wide range of proposals is ineffective. To remedy this, some DAOS delegate certain areas of governance to specialized subdaos.
Urgent proposal
The motivation to create the Subdao cryptocurrency “should be considered a reasonable emergency,” said the proposal.
Jito generates approximately $ 30 million in annual income, which is collected by the DAO and detained in its treasury. However, these income is inactive, representing a “considerable opportunity cost”, according to the proposal.
Once created, the new SUBDAO will receive a value of $ 7.5 million jitosol, the solara liquid -wick token of the protocol, to make redemptions of JTO tokens. He will also receive 5 million JTOs for incentive engineering and market incentives, according to the proposal.
The implementation of buyouts and incentives exactly is due to the group of six experts, who includes Almond, who have an ultimate decision -making authority.
The Subdao “is looking for a broad mandate to facilitate the exploration and execution of a range of possible mechanisms and approaches, and to test them on the market using DAO funds,” said the proposal.
Token buybacks
Jito is the second largest DEFI protocol in the Solana blockchain with nearly $ 3 billion in deposits.
However, this success does not result in an increase in the value of his governance token.
This is a problem with which several DEFI protocols are struggling in recent months. Some use part of their income to buy their token on the free market.
Perpetual Futures Exchange Hyperliquid has bought more than $ 1 billion in his threshing token, thanks to its so-called assistance fund since November, coinciding with an increase of 647% of the value of the token.
But it is not clear how effective the tokens are effective.
Dydx, another perpetual term exchange, announced its own tokens takeovers in March. His Dydx token has been flat since.
In addition, a report by the Crypto Messari research company says that it has found no evidence that the market rewards the redemptions of tokens. “The performance of the tokens remains motivated by the growth of metrics and narrative training,” said Sunny Shi, the author of the report.
The voting of the cryptocurrency of Jito’s cryptocurrency ends on Tuesday.
