[LIP #07] - Lista DAO Transition to Tokenomics 2.0 Model

Abstract

This proposal seeks Listapie community consensus on whether to support Lista DAO’s proposed transition to LISTA Tokenomics 2.0, a structural shift that includes the retirement of veLISTA, the unlocking of all veLISTA without penalties, the removal of veLISTA revenue sharing, the winding down of LP pool voting, the redirection of protocol revenue toward LISTA buybacks, and the expansion of LISTA utility starting with delayed liquidation in Q2 2026. These changes would fundamentally update Lista DAO’s governance and incentive structure, with direct implications for protocols like Listapie that have historically been built around the veLISTA framework. The community is invited to evaluate the long-term impact of this shift on Listapie’s role, governance participation, and utility within the evolving Lista DAO ecosystem. For full context, refer to the original Lista DAO proposal, LIP 024.

Motivation

Lista DAO’s LISTA Tokenomics 2.0 initiative marks a significant change in how LISTA is governed, incentivized, and utilized. By sunsetting veLISTA, ending veLISTA revenue sharing, and winding down pool voting, the proposal simplifies governance and token participation while shifting value accrual toward LISTA buybacks and new utility expansion. For protocols integrated with the veLISTA system, including Listapie, this transition removes the primary governance and incentive mechanisms that have shaped current participation models and strategies. Under the new model, all veLISTA would be unlocked without penalties or vesting, governance eligibility would no longer require locking, and LISTA utility would expand starting with delayed liquidation in Q2 2026. These changes will impact Listapie’s current strategy and utility model, particularly given its integration with the veLISTA framework.

Specification

Vote on whether Listapie should support Lista DAO’s proposal to retire veLISTA and implement LISTA Tokenomics 2.0.
