😀Why x402 and Micropayments are the Real Crypto-Native Play

We think if you look at Web2 + Web3, the one application/sector that doesn’t require deep technical understanding and has the lowest user barrier is—Payment.

For now, we have narrowed our focus to a shortlist of meaningful candidates. However, our conviction remains exceptionally high for the sector as a whole.

We see high growth potential in this field as the agentic economy matures

🔩Token Buyback Data Table — 109 Projects

Before diving in, We want to clarify that this is not a trading idea.
We're simply sharing the information because it felt wasteful not to, after doing the research.

We've compiled data on 109 projects that conduct buybacks, including their cumulative buyback, buyback rate, revenue, and other related metrics.

Tl;dr
Buybacks are not wrong. However, there are two unresolved challenges:

1. At a market level, self-cleansing mechanism is needed to correct the current environment that fuels the “token is useless” narrative.

2. Revenue must grow to a point where Buybacks > Token Unlocks, so that projects can withstand persistent downside pressure.
