# ETHFI Buyback Program

The Ether.fi protocol implements a structured buyback program designed to align long-term incentives, reduce token supply, and reward active participants in the ecosystem. Buybacks are executed in two distinct streams:

**1. Withdrawal Fee Revenue Buybacks (Weekly)**

* 100% of all revenue generated from eETH withdrawal fees—both implicit (delayed exits) and explicit (instant exits)—is allocated to buybacks of $ETHFI.
* These buybacks are executed on a weekly cadence.
* The resulting $ETHFI is remitted directly to $sETHFI holders, distributing protocol value back to active ETHFI stakers.

**2. Protocol Revenue Buybacks (Monthly)**

* A portion of revenue generated from the broader Ether.fi protocol—including Stake, Liquid, and Cash products—is also allocated for $ETHFI buybacks.
* These buybacks occur on a monthly cadence.
* As with weekly buybacks, the acquired $ETHFI is distributed to sETHFI holders.

**Redistribution & Liquidity**

* In accordance with approved governance proposals, all buyback-derived $ETHFI is redistributed to $sETHFI holders.
* A portion of this may also be allocated toward enhancing on-chain liquidity, at the discretion of the DAO or Foundation when needed for market stability and accessibility.

All buybacks will be announced on the official ether.fi Foundation twitter <https://x.com/ether_fi_Fdn>
