JST THIRD ROUND OF REPURCHASE DESTRUCTION WAS COMPLETED ON SCHEDULE AND OVER $21 MILLION WAS REPURCHASED

Wave Tron ecologically released heavy pounds, JST's third round of large-scale buy-back destruction was successfully completed, all of which was funded by the true ecological benefits of the JUST ecological core agreement JustLend DAO. This is proof not only of the strength of the real money and silver investment, but also of the commitment to act firmly to deliver deflation and to move forward on the ground。

According to official announcements, the current round of buy-back destruction amounted to US$ 21.3 million, a steady increase over the previous period. All destruction funds continue to come from the true proceeds of the JustLend DAO agreement, with the current round amounting to 271 million JST coins (specifically: 271,337,579) representing 2.74 per cent of the total supply of tokens. All destruction records are chained, transparent and traceable throughout the process。

As of this implementation, JST has successfully completed three rounds of mass buy-back destruction. Since the repurchase of the destruction plan began in October 2025, it has taken only six months to destroy more than 1,356 million pieces of JST, accounting for about 13.7 per cent of the total supply of coins, and to invest more than 60 million USDT. Such high-intensity deflation and efficient implementation are rare in the DeFi area and throughout the encryption industry。

IN THE CONTEXT OF THE OVERALL DECLINE OF THE ENCRYPTED MARKET AND THE CONTINUING TIGHTENING OF INDUSTRY LIQUIDITY, MOST PROJECTS CONTRACT EXPENDITURES, SET OFF REPURCHASE PLANS AND WERE FORCED TO CLOSE DOWN. IN CONTRAST, THE JST GOVERNANCE ORGANIZATION HAS REMAINED COMMITTED TO COMPLETING MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF LARGE-SCALE BUY-BACK DESTRUCTION, NOT ONLY WITHOUT INTERRUPTION, BUT ALSO WITH A SUSTAINED COMMITMENT OF SUBSTANTIAL ECOLOGICAL RETURNS FROM REAL MONEY AND SILVER, DEMONSTRATING STRONG COMPLIANCE AND OPERATIONAL RESILIENCE. THIS SERIES OF ACTIONS HAS NOT ONLY INJECTED VALUABLE CONFIDENCE INTO THE DEPRESSED MARKET, BUT HAS MORE FULLY DEMONSTRATED THE PROJECT ' S SOLID ECOLOGICAL FUNDAMENTALS AND HARD-CORE COUNTERCYCLICAL STRENGTH。

WITH SUSTAINED REAL FUNDING AND A HIGHLY TRANSPARENT IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS ACROSS THE CHAIN, THE JUST TEAM IMPARTED INVALUABLE LONG-TERM FAITH AND DEVELOPMENT POWER THROUGHOUT THE INDUSTRY. THIS REGULARIZED, INSTITUTIONALIZED DEFLATION NOT ONLY SUSTAINS JST VALUES, BUT ALSO DRIVES INDUSTRY IN A HEALTHIER AND SUSTAINABLE DIRECTION。

In the future, building on the true ecological benefits of JustLend DAO ' s stable output, the buyback of the destruction of closed rings will continue to function efficiently, and JST ' s deflation dividend will continue to be released throughout its cycle, building a stronger foundation for long-term currency value growth。

INVERSE DEFLATION PROMISES! JST'S THIRD ROUND OF REPURCHASE WAS SUCCESSFULLY DESTROYED, WITH MORE THAN $21 MILLION IN THE CURRENT ROUND

TODAY, THE SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION OF THE THIRD ROUND OF THE JST BUY-BACK DESTRUCTION OPERATION AND THE TIMELY IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DEFLATION PLAN IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CURRENT OVERALL PRESSURE ON THE ENCRYPTED MARKET NOT ONLY UNDERSCORE THE FIRM COMMITMENT OF THE JST GOVERNANCE ORGANIZATION TO STEADILY ADVANCING DEFLATION GOVERNANCE, BUT ALSO CONVEYS RARE CONFIDENCE AND CREDIBILITY IN THE INDUSTRY’S LOW TIMES。

The high level of industry, both in terms of the scale of destruction and the efficiency of implementation, fully reflects the robust operational capacity of the project and its efficient land implementation。

This buy-back destruction still comes entirely from the true ecological benefits of the JustLend DAO agreement, which are clearly and transparently derived and consist of two components: the withdrawal of approximately US$ 10.34 million from the stock of the JST initial buy-back destruction plan; and the new net proceeds from the agreement in the first quarter of 2026, about US$ 10.97 million. The combined amount of the two amounts to approximately US$ 21.3 million, which provides solid and sufficient funding for this mass destruction。

At the specific level of repurchase destruction implementation, the decentralised self-government organization Grants DAO strictly follows the established programme and is well regulated and transparent throughout the process, ensuring that every transaction is detectable and every link is fair. The current round of repurchase destruction operations continue to be transparent and are completed in a decentralized chain, with the entire process publicly traceable。

Community users and market participants can readily access core data such as input amounts, token destruction quantities, chain trades, and complete destruction of the entire process through multiple channels, such as the JustLend DAO official web dedicated to the Grants DAO page and the Financial Indicators Transparency panel. This fully guarantees the openness and credibility of deflationary actions。

Today, the successful completion of the third round of buy-back destruction marks the formal entry of the JST deflation mechanism into a mature implementation phase of quarterlyization, normalization and stabilization. From the first test in October last year to the over-anticipated implementation of the second round in January this year, and to the timely advancement of the current round, Grants DAO has not only honoured its deflation commitments every quarter, optimizing standards for transparent implementation on a more sustained basis and evolving a replicable and sustainable governance paradigm。

PRACTICAL ACTIONS SUCH AS THE SCHEDULED END-OF-LIFE CHAIN OF THREE ROUNDS OF JTS DESTRUCTION, DECENTRIZATION IMPLEMENTATION, DATA DISCLOSURE, ETC., PROVE TO THE MARKET AND INVESTORS: THE PLATFORM IS NOT ONLY COMMITTED, BUT ALSO MORE EFFICIENT AND IMPERATIVE, AND IS A TRULY LONG-TERM ECOLOGICAL PROJECT. NOT ONLY HAS THIS RESULTED IN THE HANDING OVER OF BRIGHT-EYED RESPONSES TO THEIR OWN DEFLATIONAL GOVERNANCE ROUTES, BUT IT HAS ALSO SET THE TONE OF PRINCIPLED, COUNTERPRODUCTIVE PROGRESS AT A TIME WHEN INDUSTRY IS IN A DIFFICULT POSITION AND WHERE CONFIDENCE IS LOW. IT HAS GIVEN RISE TO INVALUABLE CONFIDENCE AND POWER AND HAS INSPIRED MORE PROJECTS TO WORK TOGETHER TO PROMOTE THE HEALTHY DEVELOPMENT OF ENCRYPTED ECOLOGY。

JST HAS COMPLETED THREE BUY-BACKS FOR DESTRUCTION: CUMULATIVE DESTRUCTION OF OVER 1.35 BILLION, DEFLATION-DRIVEN PRICES AND MARKET VALUE HIGH

During the downward cycle of the encrypted market as a whole, Grants DAO, with strong determination and efficient implementation, has completed three successive rounds of large-scale buy-back destruction, injecting dynamic energy into the higher value of its tokens and long-term ecological development。

SINCE OCTOBER 2025, WHEN THE REPURCHASE DESTRUCTION PLAN WAS OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED, JST HAS EFFICIENTLY COMPLETED THREE ROUNDS OF TRANSPARENT CHAIN-BASED REPURCHASE DESTRUCTION OPERATIONS. TO DATE, THE CUMULATIVE DESTRUCTION OF JST HAS EXCEEDED 1,356 MILLION, REPRESENTING MORE THAN 13.7 PER CENT OF THE TOTAL SUPPLY OF COINS; THE AMOUNT OF REAL ECO-BENEFIT FUNDS INVESTED IN CUMULATIVE AMOUNTS TO APPROXIMATELY $6 MILLION。

THE SPECIFIC DATA ON EACH ROUND OF DESTRUCTION IN THE JST ARE TRANSPARENT AND TRACEABLE IN THE CHAIN:

• FIRST ROUND (OCTOBER 2025): APPROXIMATELY 559 MILLION JSTS WERE DESTROYED, WITH APPROXIMATELY $17.72 MILLION INVESTED, OR 5.59 PER CENT OF THE TOTAL SUPPLY OF COINS。
• SECOND ROUND (JANUARY 2026): THE DESTRUCTION OF ABOUT 525 MILLION JSTS, WITH AN INVESTMENT OF ABOUT $21 MILLION, OR 5.3 PER CENT OF THE TOTAL SUPPLY OF COINS。
• THIRD ROUND (16 APRIL 2026): THE DESTRUCTION OF APPROXIMATELY 271 MILLION JSTS, WITH AN INVESTMENT OF APPROXIMATELY $21.3 MILLION, OR 2.74 PER CENT OF THE TOTAL SUPPLY OF COINS。

In just six months, JST efficiently completed three rounds of intensive and substantial buy-back destruction and steadily increased the amount of each round of inputs. The cumulative amount invested in the three rounds was close to $60 million and the total amount of JST destroyed exceeded 1,356 million. Such high frequency, large hand pens and high execution speeds of destruction not only are extremely rare in the DeFi area, but are more than sufficient to demonstrate the firm commitment of ecological viability to deflation routes, as well as the hard-core ability to deliver on the expectations of the community。

WITH THREE ROUNDS OF SUSTAINED, LARGE-SCALE REAL DESTRUCTION IMPLEMENTATION, THE DEEPENING DEFLATION EFFECT OF THE JST, THE ACCELERATION OF THE SCARCE VALUE OF TOKENS, THE STEADY RISE IN THE PRICE OF THE CURRENCY AND THE MARKET VALUE OF THE MARKET DIRECTLY DRIVING IT, AND A CLEAR AND STRONG UPWARD TREND IN VALUE。

IN TERMS OF DEFLATIONARY EFFECTS, THREE ROUNDS OF DESTRUCTION HAVE BEEN PERMANENTLY REMOVED FROM THE TOTAL SUPPLY OF JST COINS BY MORE THAN 1,356 MILLION, WHICH AMOUNTS TO A DIRECT REDUCTION OF ABOUT 13.7 PER CENT. UNDER THE DESIGN OF THE JST MECHANISM, THE DESTRUCTION OF EACH CHAIN IS IRREVERSIBLE AND IMPLIES A GENUINE PERMANENT CONTRACTION OF THE DISK. AS THE FLOW DRIVE CONTINUES TO SHRINK, THE VALUE BASE OF THE JST HAS BEEN SOLIDIFIED AND THE SUPPORT FOR SCARCITY CONTINUES TO STRENGTHEN, CREATING AN UNSHAKEABLE BOTTOM LOGIC FOR THE LONG-TERM VALUE GROWTH OF THE TOKENS。

EACH DESTRUCTION WILL REDUCE THE TOTAL SUPPLY OF THE JST MARKET DIRECTLY AND SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE SCARCITY OF TOKENS. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CLASSIC PRINCIPLES OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND, THE CONTINUED TIGHTENING OF SUPPLY, WHILE DEMAND REMAINS STABLE AND EVEN RISING, WILL INEVITABLY LEAD TO A REVALUATION OF ASSET VALUES AND, HOPEFULLY, A STEADY RISE IN CURRENCY PRICES. HIGH-FREQUENCY, LARGE-SCALE AND SUSTAINABLE DESTRUCTION OPERATIONS WILL FURTHER ACCELERATE THE RELEASE OF THE JST ' S SCARCE PREMIUM, NOT ONLY BUILDING A SOLID CORE FOR THE STABILITY AND LONG-TERM UPSWING OF THE JST TOKEN VALUE, BUT ALSO CONTINUING TO ENHANCE MARKET RECOGNITION AND CONFIDENCE IN THE JST DEFLATION MODEL, LEADING TO A VIRTUOUS CIRCLE OF "BUILDING CONSENSUS ON THE VALUE OF REDUCED CIRCULATION DESTRUCTION " 。

The validity of this logic is also well demonstrated by the market performance of JST. Since the start of the repurchase destruction plan in October 2025, the JST price has begun a steady upward trend, with the positive trend widely recognized in the market. According to CoinGecko data, on 15 April 2026, the price of JST tokens climbed from about $0.03 last October to a peak of $0.08 and more than doubled; the market value also doubled from $300 million to almost $700 million in volume, more than doubling in parallel。

MOST NOTABLY, SINCE FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR, THE JST HAS ACCELERATED FURTHER. IN A DIFFICULT ENVIRONMENT WITH A DOWNWARD TREND IN THE OVERALL ENCRYPTION MARKET, THE JST WAS STRONGER, FROM A MAXIMUM OF 0.04 DOLLARS TO OVER 0.08 DOLLARS, WITH A 100 PER CENT INCREASE. THIS ACHIEVEMENT IS AMPLY EVIDENCE OF THE HIGH LEVEL OF MARKET ACCEPTANCE OF THE LOGIC OF JST DEFLATION AND DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS。

THE STEADY INCREASE IN PRICES AND MARKET VALUE REFLECTS NOT ONLY THE RISE IN THE CURRENCY ' S OWN VALUE, BUT ALSO THE POSITIVE EXPECTATIONS OF THE MARKET FOR THE LONG-TERM FUTURE OF THE JST. THE DEFLATION EFFECT OF THE JST HAS SHIFTED FROM SHORT-TERM CATALYTIC TO LONG-TERM VALUE-BASED, DRIVEN BY THREE ROUNDS OF LARGE-SCALE BUY-BACK DESTRUCTION, AND MARKET CONSENSUS IS BUILDING UP AND BECOMING MORE AND MORE ENTRENCHED IN CYCLES。

WITH THE SUCCESSFUL LANDING OF THE THIRD ROUND OF BUY-BACK DESTRUCTION, THE JST DEFLATION DIVIDEND HAS ENTERED A SUSTAINED ACCELERATED RELEASE CYCLE AND THE LONG-TERM VALUE SUPPORT OF TOKENS HAS BEEN FURTHER CONSOLIDATED. LOOKING AHEAD, AS THE JST BUY-BACK PLAN PROGRESSES IN AN ORDERLY MANNER, CURRENCY FLOWS WILL BE FURTHER REDUCED AND IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE JST VALUE WILL CONTINUE TO GROW。

JustLend DAO ' s ecological returns continue to grow steadily, with a strong resilience to cyclical fluctuations

JST repurchases the destruction and destroys it. As a major contributor to the buyback of destruction funds, JustLend DAO, with its unique ecological matrix advantage and sound business strategy, has not only achieved sustained and steady growth in ecological returns, but has injected a steady flow of funds into the buyback of the JST, which has shown a remarkable resilience to cycle fluctuations。

According to the established rules, the funds for the buy-back destruction were mainly derived from two core agreements in the JuST ecology: the stock gains and future net gains of the loan agreement JustLend DAO; and the excess income over $10 million in the USDSDD multi-chain ecology. To date, USDD ecological revenues have not reached the threshold for start-up buy-backs, so the three-round buy-back destruction funds that have been implemented, all from the Platform proceeds of JustLend DAO, also fully reflect its central position in the JST buy-back destruction。

Looking back at the investment per round buyback, the firm determination and continued commitment of JustLend DAO is clear。

• First round: In the initial phase of JST buyback destruction, JustLend DAO drew approximately 5.98 million USDT from the inventory proceeds, of which 30 per cent (approximately 1.772 million USDT) was immediately used for the first destruction, while the remaining 70 per cent was implemented in four quarters, with a single quarter pre-set input of approximately 10.34 million USDT。
• SECOND ROUND: REPURCHASE OF ABOUT 21 MILLION USDTS FOR DESTRUCTION, INCLUDING 10.34 MILLION USDTS AND Q4S IN 2025, ABOUT 10.19 MILLION USDTS。
• ROUND 3: REPURCHASE OF DESTRUCTION INPUTS AMOUNTING TO APPROXIMATELY US$ 21.3 MILLION, WHICH ALSO INCLUDES STOCK GAINS OF US$ 10.34 MILLION AND Q1 NET PROCEEDS OF US$ 10.97 MILLION IN 2026。

Taken together, the total funds set aside by JustLend DAO for the JST buy-back destruction plan exceeded $80 million (including inputs and pending inputs). Of this amount, approximately 60 million USDTs have been destroyed and more than 20 million USDTs remain to be destroyed in subsequent quarters. This is a strong demonstration of the financial strength and continued output capacity of the JustLend DAO platform, which is a strong demonstration of its ecological hard verification power, as well as its robust operational and compliance capacity, and provides adequate and sustainable financial guarantees for the long-term deflation line of the JST。

The analysis of the magnitude of the investment from buyback destruction shows a strong and steady upward trend in the amount of actual inputs from the three-round buyback of JST, in contrast to the current overall downward trend in the encryption market. Under the double shock of increased market volatility and liquidity contraction, JustLend DAO, instead of being affected, increased its financial investment in the repurchase destruction chain, while maintaining a steady increase in ecological returns and efficient implementation capacity, each of which is larger than the community expected。

Looking at the new net gains data, the income performance of JustLend DAO, even in a general market-constrained environment, has remained robust and has continued to show positive developments, with quarterly net gains stable at over $10 million for the last two quarters. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, the net gain in the first quarter of 2026 was further increased, demonstrating its strong resilience to cyclical fluctuations。

This bright-eyed performance, which is rooted in the strong ecological profitability and maturity of JustLend DAO itself, is a key safeguard for its continued commitment across the industry cycle。

JustLend DAO, a central financial facility in the wave field of Tron ecology, has evolved into a full-chain DeFi solution that combines multi-product matrices such as SBM lending, STRX flow-based pledge, Energy Rental energy leasing and Gas Optimizing infrastructure products such as GasFree smart wallets, creating a complete product matrix that can provide a multifaceted engine for eco-benefit growth。

Each product line is based on a concrete and realistic scenario, and SBM lending is the central hub for financial assets in the user ' s efficient distribution chain; sTRX is the preferred entry point for the wave field Tron ecological pledge; Energy Rental energy leasing services are the preferred method for the wave field Tron ecological reduction of Gas fees; and GasFree provides easy support for transfers using original currencies such as USDT。

As of 16 April, the total value of the Locked Assets (TVL) of the JustLend DAO platform had risen to approximately $6.89 billion, and according to DeFiLlama, its lending SBM market TVL was the third most stable global lending track in the long term. Currently, the bulk of the funding for the buyback of the JST is from the SBM lending market in JustLend DAO and the proceeds of Stark TRX。

As can be seen, the recent synchronized growth of JST prices and market values not only reflects the continued rise in the currency ' s own value, but also reflects the market ' s positive expectations for the future of JustLend DAO. It is foreseeable that JST will continue to move steadily along the deflation path with the sustained efforts of JustLend DAO。

OF EVEN GREATER CONCERN IS THE FACT THAT ANOTHER IMPORTANT PROVIDER OF JST'S REPURCHASE FUNDS, USDD, HAS ENTERED A PERIOD OF HIGH GROWTH SINCE THE BEGINNING OF 2026. AT PRESENT, USDD SUPPLIES HAVE SURPASSED $1.5 BILLION, WITH CUMULATIVE REVENUE OF $7.47 MILLION, AND WILL SOON BREAK THE $10 MILLION MARK, ADDING BRICKS TO JST'S BUYBACK DESTRUCTION。

In the future, with the continued expansion and upgrading of the JustLend DAO product line, the JSST buys back the sources of destruction or is expected to incorporate new product line revenues, further broadening the financial security of the deflation scheme and giving JST a stronger and more dollar momentum to long-term value growth。
