The Cronos ecosystem is floating a proposal to direct 100% of the revenue from Ult and Cronos Launch toward buying back and burning CRO. Staking rewards would instead come from the Cronos strategic reserve. The plan is up for a community vote.

What Cronos Is Proposing

Under the proposal, every dollar of revenue generated by Ult and Cronos Launch would go toward purchasing CRO on the open market, then burning those tokens. This kind of mechanism is a classic way to cut down on circulating supply.

Staking Rewards and Where They Come From

Stakers won’t see their rewards affected by this move: payouts would be funded from the Cronos strategic reserve. That means operational revenue is fully dedicated to buybacks and burns, while validator and delegator incentives come from a separate pool.

What’s Next

The proposal still needs to pass a community vote. The exact details and timeline will depend on how the discussion and the vote shake out.
