Formalize how HeyAnon’s HUD-generated revenue (a fraction of referral fees across integrated platforms) is routed to benefit ANON token holders. This RFC is focused on generating value for token holders and presents multiple allocation options, outlines required contracts/modules, and proposes a rollout timeline.
Referral Revenue Sources: Hyperliquid, Axiom, Photon, gmgn, etc - will expand over time.
Id say a combination of 1 and 2. It just is a better look than having just 1 utility for anon holders “buyback and burn” for example. It gives marketing power of buyback and burn but also if people can stake it gives a bit of price stability and a solid floor.
I do believe that buyback and burn + staking should be both foreseen in order to increase token value and to give the opportunity to earn for holders. Lock terms 24 h. With best interest for longer staking. I don’t see the utility of a lottery. Referral fee by tiars. I personally try to connect the Anon performance to WAGMI dex and token in some way.
Timed Lock Model (3 months) with multipliers for larger share of revenue paid in USDC or SOL
New ideas:
Stake anon with 24hr unstake period and receive USDC or SOL dividends w/ auto compound option
50% buyback/burn 50% xANON or Dividends in USDC/SOL (this combines increasing EPS & total return through buybacks while giving investors cash/anon tokens without them having to realize capital gains). xANON or staking for dividends would have 24hr unlock periods. If dividends are chosen there should be an auto compound feature/button.
Just slowly accumulate ANON in the treasury and burn it from the treasury at market price. This will improve WAGMI mechanics and help avoid market manipulation.
Option 1 is ideal. it would be great to instead of having a fixed percentage split to having a dynamic percentage split that fluctuate according to some metrics, thus it’s able to be more adaptive. for example a limit boundary of 80%/20% but referees percentage could deviate within a 10% range according to the revenue being generated or any other metrics.
Proposal Update: Revenue Allocation Options (with DAO Treasury inclusion)
Context: To account for rising infrastructure costs and to keep up with demand for our products, 10% (scalable up to 20%) of protocol revenue will flow to the DAO treasury in every option. As usage scales, both costs and revenue scale - this ensures sustainable operations while preserving strong value flow to holders.

Quick Definitions
Buyback & Burn: Protocol buys ANON on the open market and burns it to reduce supply. TWAP buys to prevent front-running.
xANON Staking: Stake ANON to mint xANON; revenue top-ups increase backing per xANON over time.
Referrers: Revenue share to verified partners/users who drive adoption (with attribution and basic quality controls).
DAO Treasury (10% at start, scalable to 20%): Funds operations, infra, audits, and strategic initiatives.
xANON Staking Mechanics
Lock periods: 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.
Incentive: The longer you lock, the larger your share of the staking revenue pool.

I’m in favor of a mix (option 1 and 2). Pure burn pumps short term but doesn’t reward holders. xANON backing gives real value over time. Something like 50/50 burn + backing feels right.
