According to CryptoSlate, the Ethereum liquid staking protocol Lido's LDO auto-buyback mechanism, NEST, has not executed any buybacks since its launch on August 10. As of October 13, the cumulative buyback balance stands at a negative $564,000. The Lido community has proposed reducing the 2027 budget from the current baseline of approximately $43.8 million to $30 million and linking the buyback threshold to the actual approved budget. CryptoSlate believes that simply lowering the buyback threshold or resetting the cumulative negative balance may increase LDO purchases but will not improve the DAO's actual profitability. https://www.(wublock123.com)/news/lido-buyback-stalled-no-repurchases-two-months-negative-560k-70027
