PANews reported on November 20th that GAIB, an AI and robotics infrastructure economic layer project, issued an official statement today regarding the premature sale of tokens by external institutions on the day of TGE, and announced the launch of the official GAIB buyback program. In the statement, GAIB emphasized that the approximately five wallets identified by the community, each selling approximately 1 million GAIB tokens, are not affiliated with the team, advisors, or any internal entity. All tokens belonging to the team and core contributors are currently locked, and the GAIB team has not sold any tokens. An internal investigation revealed that these wallets belonged to external market institutions in multiple regions. According to their pre-TGE cooperation agreements, the tokens they received were only permitted for community activity incentives after launch and were explicitly prohibited from being sold beforehand. However, some institutions violated the agreement by selling tokens without authorization on TGE day, constituting a serious breach of contract. GAIB has issued formal notices to the relevant institutions, demanding a full repurchase of all sold GAIB tokens, provision of on-chain repurchase certificates, and acceptance of all consequences of the breach. However, the relevant institutions have not provided a clear response. GAIB will immediately launch an official repurchase plan, with the team directly repurchasing the improperly sold tokens on the market to ensure that the community's interests are not affected by any third-party actions. In its statement, GAIB said, "We will not leave the community to bear any consequences. The buyback program is our commitment to responsibility and transparency." GAIB will release an update to the community as soon as it obtains further details on the buyback implementation.PANews reported on November 20th that GAIB, an AI and robotics infrastructure economic layer project, issued an official statement today regarding the premature sale of tokens by external institutions on the day of TGE, and announced the launch of the official GAIB buyback program.

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

The post Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Wormhole is changing how its W token works by creating a new reserve designed to hold value for the long term. Announced on Wednesday, the Wormhole Reserve will collect onchain and offchain revenues and other value generated across the protocol and its applications (including Portal) and accumulate them into W, locking the tokens within the reserve. The reserve is part of a broader update called W 2.0. Other changes include a 4% targeted base yield for tokenholders who stake and take part in governance. While staking rewards will vary, Wormhole said active users of ecosystem apps can earn boosted yields through features like Portal Earn. The team stressed that no new tokens are being minted; rewards come from existing supply and protocol revenues, keeping the cap fixed at 10 billion. Wormhole is also overhauling its token release schedule. Instead of releasing large amounts of W at once under the old “cliff” model, the network will shift to steady, bi-weekly unlocks starting October 3, 2025. The aim is to avoid sharp periods of selling pressure and create a more predictable environment for investors. Lockups for some groups, including validators and investors, will extend an additional six months, until October 2028. Core contributor tokens remain under longer contractual time locks. Wormhole launched in 2020 as a cross-chain bridge and now connects more than 40 blockchains. The W token powers governance and staking, with a capped supply of 10 billion. By redirecting fees and revenues into the new reserve, Wormhole is betting that its token can maintain value as demand for moving assets and data between chains grows. This is a developing story.
