How the Fifth Burn Was Funded
The round drew on two funding sources named in the announcement: $9,280,216 of third-quarter net income and $10,340,249 from a historical revenue allocation. The 170,723,144 $JST removed this round represented 1.72% of total supply and was valued at $23,531,749 at the time of the burn. The DAO published the transaction hash for the transfer, so holders can verify the removal directly on the Tron blockchain explorer.
Cumulative Supply Reduction Reaches 19%
Across all five quarterly rounds, the DAO has now burned 1,881,973,007 $JST, equal to 19.01% of the token’s supply as of October 16. The governing proposal, approved by the community, directs all of JustLend DAO’s net income, plus any USDD multichain ecosystem revenue above $10 million, toward repurchasing and burning $JST. That structure means each burn is backed by realized income rather than a one-off allocation. The vote that started the program took place on October 21, 2025, so five rounds have now been completed on a quarterly schedule over roughly one year.
What Changes Next
With the fifth round complete, the initiative moves into a new phase. The DAO said updated mechanics and future arrangements will be announced shortly, with financial disclosures continuing on a regular basis. It has not yet published the size or frequency of the next round, so the exact deflationary path from here remains open. Burned $JST is removed permanently and cannot re-enter circulation. Because the buyback is funded from operating income, the size of future burns will depend on how much revenue JustLend DAO generates each quarter. The schedule sits inside broader activity across Tron’s DeFi ecosystem, where JustLend operates as one of the network’s core lending venues.
