🛒 $BONZO BuyBacks are Live
Bonzo Finance’s new Ecosystem Incentives Replenishment Program kicked off on May 27.
Bonzo Finance launched its $BONZO buyback program, which utilizes a percentage of Bonzo Finance protocol treasury revenue to purchase $BONZO tokens on-market. Acquired tokens are then used to enhance the protocol’s sustainability and utility by using them across various ecosystem incentive programs, such as single-sided staking and liquidity incentives.
This program aims to bolster the utility of the $BONZO governance token while improving Bonzo Finance community engagement, participation, and decentralization.
Replenishment Boost Period
To jump-start this program, the Bonzo Finance protocol will utilize one-third of its treasury over a 60-day period to acquire $BONZO tokens for use across various Bonzo Finance ecosystem incentive programs, such as single-sided staking and liquidity incentives.
Replenishment Long-Term Plan
After the $BONZO ecosystem incentives replenishment boost period ends, the Bonzo Finance protocol will continue to acquire $BONZO tokens at regular intervals, utilizing a percentage of the daily revenues the protocol receives.
Discord Channel Bot
A dedicated channel in the Bonzo Finance Discord is set up with a bot that automatically messages the channel every time a $BONZO governance token acquisition takes place, citing the amount purchased.

Dovy has signed a 9-year agreement with Veteran’s Carbon Holdings to mint over $1.1 billion worth of carbon credits on Hedera. These credits will be verified by BCarbon and certified through the Baker Institute at Rice University.
The deal helps scale regenerative farming practices while offering farmers significant annual revenue for their role in carbon sequestration.
“DOVU’s role is pivotal. It gives us the infrastructure to scale this globally while still making sure the lion’s share of revenue goes back into rural communities.”
