Stani Kuletov, creator of the credit protocol Aave, presented the concept of updating Aavenomics 3.0. A key innovation will be the introduction of an automatic buy-back mechanism for AAVE tokens, which operates on the basis of smart contracts. The program is to be funded solely from the platform’s revenue and GHO stablecoin.

Unlike the current model, where the finance committee manually allocated up to a million dollars per week for secondary market purchases, the new system will operate on autopilot. Kuletov emphasized that the algorithmic buyback will be the basic mode of operation and can be stopped only by direct voting of management members. The foundation for such changes was laid by the Aave Will Win strategic plan, adopted in April 2026, which directs 100 percent of revenues from all ecosystem products directly to the Aave DAO treasury. According to current estimates, the platform’s annual revenue is already $134 million.

The complete technical specifications and voting dates for the implementation of Aavenomics 3.0 are kept secret and will be made public at the next quarterly conference. Investors responded to the initiative with an immediate upturn: immediately after the announcement, AAVE’s price soared by almost 25% to $98, and after a small adjustment, it peaked at around $89, showing a 20% increase over the week. Amid these developments, analysts at Grayscale had previously called the token underestimated, setting a target of $179 for the coming year.
