Weekly report from Defi App - launching Mobifone App and acquiring $HOME

Report recorded data

Defi App will use 80% of the revenue from the application to buy back $HOME with the DIP-005 mechanism. Defi App commits to buyback up to 187.5M $HOME. According to on-chain records on August 23, 2025, the team has bought back 2,369,791 $HOME on the market. The special feature this time is the 1.5× Kaito Ratio mechanism, with each $HOME unlocked from Kaito coming with 1.5 times the buyback value. With the above strategy, Defi App hopes to be able to control and reduce the supply of tokens circulating on the market and increase the value of token holdings for users.

DIP-005 converts the majority of revenue into a buyback mechanism combined with DIP-004: 80% revenue → buyback. The mechanism operates in a closed loop: “User interactions generate revenue, revenue is allocated to the buyback program, and these buybacks help reduce dilution pressure and support the token price. The announcement and implementation of on-chain buybacks on August 23, 2025 has proven the practicality and transparency of the program.

Weekly volume recorded up to $363M and total trading volume from the beginning of 2025 until now has exceeded $16B.
