Catalyze DAO has opened a new proposal aimed at restoring the value of its CTZ token and strengthening confidence after a long period of uncertainty. The plan suggests using 12,000 ICP from the Treasury to buy back CTZ, increase liquidity and send a clear signal that the project is ready to move into a broader adoption phase.
The Treasury currently holds a large supply of CTZ, and the DAO argues that using a small portion of its ICP holdings could have a sizeable effect. According to the proposal, completing the buyback would allow the DAO to control around 99.5 per cent of the entire CTZ supply. Supporters say this would ease selling pressure, improve long-term stability and substantially raise the Treasury’s overall valuation. Based on the figures shared, the Treasury’s value could move from roughly 445,000 dollars to around 3.7 million dollars if the targeted price levels are reached.
Catalyze was originally funded with 600,000 ICP contributed by the community. The DAO points out that around 90,000 ICP has been spent on proposals so far, and the suggested 12,000 ICP allocation represents a small fraction of the original pool. The argument is that taking action now is essential, as long stretches of stagnation have made it harder to attract new users and harder for existing supporters to remain confident in the project’s direction.
The team behind the proposal believes the product is ready for a wider audience and that a stronger token position is needed before more aggressive outreach can begin. Marketing plans, user acquisition and feature expansion all rely on a healthier Treasury and a more stable token, according to the document. The original launch ratio was 1 ICP to 200 CTZ, and the DAO suggests that even a shift to 1 ICP to 400 CTZ would create a meaningful lift in Treasury value.
The proposal frames the buyback as a practical step rather than an attempt to artificially inflate prices. The focus is on clearing out downward pressure, rebuilding trust and giving the DAO more flexibility when planning future initiatives. It also stresses that the goal is long-term growth rather than short-term speculation.
Community reaction will determine whether the proposal moves forward. The message from its authors is that progress relies on collective support, and they urge members who want Catalyze to succeed to vote in favour. They argue that the project has reached a point where a stronger foundation is needed before expansion can occur, and that this approach offers a path to stability and renewed momentum.
The proposal was published through the IC Toolkit app and will now depend on how the wider Catalyze community chooses to respond.
