except this is already happening under the hood.. All surplus is converted into COW which then is used for solvers rewards and the remainders are siphoned into dao treasury.

Summary: Are rewards correlated to $COW → No. From the moment COW exceeds a few cents, rewards are capped to a native token amount, hence, the amount of COW rewards does not increase with the price of COW - see below for more details. It is wasteful to pay solvers in $COW → No,… --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.cow.fi/t/cow-token-buybacks/3093)._
