BDIP-7: BreederDAO Token Burn Proposal [Approved]

Abstract

The DAO has received recommendations from its members to implement a token burn, which has been reignited after a successful buyback and burn proposal.

BreederDAO has consistently strived to foster a robust ecosystem for blockchain gaming and the metaverse. In line with our commitment to value creation and sustainability, we deem it appropriate to listen to the community, and propose a token burn initiative aimed at optimizing our token supply and enhancing long-term value for our stakeholders.

Rationale

Supply Optimization: The reduction of our token supply by 100 million tokens, representing 10% of the total supply, will contribute to increased scarcity and returning value to stakeholders, on top of safeguarding against unnecessary dilution of token worth.

Long-term Value: Through careful reduction of the token supply, we aim to fortify the foundation for sustained value appreciation, ensuring enduring benefits for all members of our community. We remain confident in the long term growth of BreederDAO, $BREED, and its treasury.

Specifications and Timelines

Amount to Burn: 100 million tokens will be burned, originating from the Ecosystem Development Fund (EDF). This selection minimizes operational impact while fulfilling our commitment to value optimization.

Post-Burn EDF Balance: Following the burn, the EDF will retain approximately 130 million tokens, maintaining substantial reserves for ongoing and future endeavors, including staking rewards and ecosystem development activities. Additionally, a series of buybacks will be conducted to fortify our growing treasury and reinforce our ethos of asset generation and distribution.
