Lido tweeted that the NEST automated LDO buyback mechanism has been launched on the mainnet. NEST is a rules-based LDO buyback mechanism, where 50% of the surplus will automatically buy LDO through CoW Swap when the DAO's staking income exceeds the baseline of 40 million USD.

If the income in a certain period does not meet the baseline, the corresponding gap will be accounted for in subsequent calculations and must be made up by new surplus before purchases can resume. The daily purchase limit is 50,000 USD, and the annual limit is 10 million USD, with all purchased LDO belonging to the DAO.
