Recently, the market has been discussing the topic of value return. The ideas behind the intelligence and DeFi tracks are actually quite similar— the former focuses on creator quality, while the latter looks at whether the project has real substance.

$JST is a great example. On the 14th, they completed their second large-scale buyback and burn. In less than three months, the total supply has been reduced by 10.96%. This level of deflation is quite aggressive within the entire DeFi space. Looking back since October last year, this continuous burning strategy truly demonstrates what it means to be value-oriented—it's not just about slogans, but about protecting token holders' interests through mechanism design. That’s also why the market is increasingly valuing a project’s actual operational data and economic model now.

Really, this kind of continuous destruction is a sign of confidence and reliability, much more trustworthy than projects that constantly shout about good news.

Well, the idea of value return has become tiresome, but JST's recent burn effort is indeed quite aggressive. To be honest, few projects dare to cut more than 10% of their supply; most are just talk.

This is true value investing. A bunch of worthless tokens are being hyped up daily, while JST is really working on real projects.

Three months down over 10%, that's quite aggressive. But the key question is how long the burning can be sustained.

10.96% Cut in three months? On-chain data indeed supports this claim, but where does the money for buyback and burn come from? We need to trace the flow of funds.

Alright, destroying over 10% is indeed meaningful and much more reliable than those projects that just shout slogans every day.

A 10.96% cut in one go—now that's real sincerity, unlike some projects that boast every day. Where's the promised burn? Only this much after three months? I think JST is really working. There are so many DeFi projects now, not many actually stick to burning; this is worth paying attention to. Value return is虚的, burning tokens is real; I respect JST's move this time. It's also deflationary, so why do others keep burning month after month, while he's still hesitating?
