The October upgrade introduces a new direction for JST buybacks, connecting future execution more closely to recurring ecosystem revenue. This is an important change in how the JST Buyback and Burn Mechanism is funded. Previously, the program relied on JustLend's accumulated historical revenue reserves. According to the latest JUST report, those historical reserves have now been fully deployed. Rather than leaving the future funding model dependent on the same pool of accumulated reserves, JUST DAO is transitioning toward recurring ecosystem revenue as the foundation for future buybacks. The transition also includes a planned phased deployment of approximately $20.34 million in surplus reserves, beginning in Q4 2026, while maintaining a minimum reserve of $50 million. There are two important considerations here: - Recurring revenue: Future buybacks will increasingly be connected to ongoing ecosystem activity. - Reserve management: Surplus funds will be deployed gradually while a substantial minimum reserve is maintained. This approach connects the long-term execution of JST buybacks with the financial activity of the broader JUST ecosystem. The important development is not simply that the mechanism has been upgraded. It's that its funding structure is evolving. @DeFi_JUST @trondao @justinsuntron #TRONEcoStar
