Monthly INDEX Supply Reduction Program — Treasury
Category: Treasury · Tokenomics
Author: @0xdunerider Reviewers: @0x_dev, @mrmadila
Date: June 5, 2025
Summary
- Beginning July 1 2025, Index Coop will reduce the total supply of INDEX by 1.00 % (100 k INDEX) each month for three months, sourced from the IC treasury.
- After the initial three‑month pilot period (July – September), core contributors will consult with the community and review the results before evaluating program extension into Q4 ’25.
Background
Members have asked for concrete actions demonstrating disciplined treasury management and tokenomic support. With a fixed maximum supply of 10 M INDEX, reductions to that maximum supply represent material tokenomic support.
The DAO’s long‑term plan to create value for token‑holders remains:
- Execute our product vision — automated re‑balancing leverage products, yield‑generating smart loops, improved distribution, and relentless focus on UI/UX to drive top‑line growth.
- Optimize DAO cost structure to improve operational efficiency.
- Return future net operating profits to INDEX holders via governance‑driven, sustainable, programmatic mechanisms.
