Ethena just made a huge push to align tokenholders, investors, and the protocol.
โข Bought out early investors who sold $ENA
โข Shifted protocol IP + value accrual exclusively to the Foundation
โข Proposed using net revenue to programmatically buy back ENA
โข Eliminated monthly VC unlock overhang
โข Kept team tokens on their original vesting schedules
โข Joined the Blockworks TTF
This is exactly what crypto teams should be doing.
@Ethena is cleaning up incentives, directing value toward tokenholders, and materially improving transparency.
For a team this important to the industry, the hope is others take note.
