Buyback $HOME Program and New Feature Update on Defi App

Defi App's buyback program uses 80% of protocol revenue to buy back $HOME weekly, creating a powerful deflationary mechanism that reduces circulating supply and supports token price.

Buyback details for the last two weeks

The buyback program was activated via Proposal DIP-004, to create a “flywheel escape velocity” – a self-sustaining growth loop: More users → High trading volume → High revenue → Strong buyback → Rising $HOME price → Attract more users. Every week, 80% of fees (mainly from perps with 0.01% fee) are used to buy $HOME via TWAP, reducing market impact.

  • Week ending 10/7/2025: Buy back 150% of $HOME issuance, equivalent to millions of tokens, using 80% of derivatives revenue. Transaction confirmed on blockchain, focusing on offsetting selling pressure from rewards.

  • Week ending 10/13/2025: Buyback of over 6 million $HOME, reaching 200% issuance coverage, accelerating the "flywheel escape velocity" of the token. This is part of DIP-004, with the DAO holding over 9.3 million $HOME in treasury.

Update Stop Market and Stop Limit features

On October 8, 2025, Defi App launched Stop Market and Stop Limit orders, upgrading perps trading to a professional level. These features help manage risk better, especially in volatile markets, by automatically triggering orders when the price reaches the stop price threshold.

  • Stop Market: Order conditional – when price hits stop price, execute as market order (buy/sell at current best price). Ideal for quick exit to cut loss or take profit, but can slippage in high volatility.

  • Stop Limit: When triggered, place a limit order at a specific price of your choice. Provides greater control, but may not fill if the market moves quickly.

How to use: On app.defi.app , select perps, set stop price (e.g. stop loss 5% below current price). Combine with 10-40x leverage and hedging to farm XP effectively. This update is part of an effort to make the app easier to use, similar to previous perps upgrades (drag and drop TP/SL, sticky leverage).

Conclude

Defi App is making its mark in DeFi with its robust $HOME buyback program and advanced feature updates like Stop Market and Stop Limit. In the volatile crypto market of 2025, these mechanisms not only support token value but also improve the trading experience, creating a self-sustaining growth loop: transaction fee revenue leads to larger buybacks, reducing circulating supply and increasing value for holders.
