## **RFC #3 HeyAnon HUD Revenue and ANON Token Utility** ## **Summary/Scope** 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. ## **Reference** - **HeyAnon HUD docs:** [https://docs.heyanon.ai/](https://docs.heyanon.ai/) - **Existing ANON token contracts:** [Contracts | HeyAnon.ai](https://docs.heyanon.ai/heyanon.ai/general-information/contracts) ## **Main Objective** **Motivation.** Convert HUD referral revenue into durable value for ANON holders while supporting development and growth of Hey Anon DAO. **Benefits:** - Deflationary pressure via buyback & burn. - Increasing per-token backing for staked/locked holders (xANON). - Predictable, game-resistant execution (TWAP/TWAMM). - Engagement loops (referrals, optional lottery). - Transparent, governable parameters. **Proposed Options - to be voted** 1. **Buyback & Burn + Referrals** 2. **xANON Staking with Flexible Locks** 3. **Timed Lock Model** 4. **Lottery Drip (small %)** **Discussion is open for the DAO to set:** **Which option of the mentioned (or combinations) will be implemented.** - Buyback/burn, referrals, xANON backing stream, locked multipliers, lottery. - Cool-down durations (24h–48h), lock terms (2–3 months) and multipliers. - Per-epoch caps and execution cadence (daily/weekly). - Referral tiers/quality scoring to curb sybil abuse. - Lottery allocation cap and eligibility (e.g., minimum stake/lock). ## **Contracts/Technical Requirements** _Handled by HeyAnon Dev team._ - **BuybackEngine** - **xANON Staking** - **Locker (Timed Locks)** - **Referral Module** - **Lottery Module (optional)** - **Merkle Distributor** **Security & ops** - Role gating: pauser, rate-limit admin, parameter governor (DAO). - Circuit breakers on execution (price deviation, venue downtime). - Streaming/epoch-based accounting → fewer MEV vectors. - Transparent subgraph/indexer for public dashboards. ## **Timeline** RFC publication on **August 25, 2025**. - **Aug 25–31, 2025 :** RFC open comment period on forum. - **Aug 31 - Sept 2, 2025:** Snapshot vote ### **Call for Community Feedback** We want your input before we lock parameters. Please comment with: 1. **Preferred option or split** among: buyback/burn, referrals, xANON backing, timed locks, lottery (if any). 2. **Cool-down & lock terms** (24–48h; 2 or 3 months; multiplier curve). 3. **Referral design** (tiers, quality scoring, anti-sybil rules). 4. **Lottery** : include in v1? cap at ≤2%? eligibility rules? draw frequency? 5. Additional ideas or risks we missed. ---

upvoting for 1 / buyback and burn mechanism will be so much great for $ANON price and mcap . ---

number one most appealing to me, as a token holder - it makes the most sense. I think some kind of lottery system could also be good for marketing, if it is possible to combine features from different options. ---

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. ---

Existing options: - xANON staking w/ 24 hour lock or - 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. ---

WAGMI → sWAGMI mechanics are the best. Improvement: 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 No 1 is the best but we need some sort of staking too So I propose 80% for buybacks and burn and 20% for referrals and stakers! ---

Option 1 sounds best to me. I also think a split between option 1 and option 3 would be good. 80% to option one and 20% to option 3 with lock periods of 1,3,6 and 12 months. Burnt and locked anon are the most bullish options suggested. Lottery is the worst option followed by option 2. ---

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. ---

# RFC UPDATE ## 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. * * * ## Options to Vote On ### Quick comparison | Option | Buyback & Burn | xANON Staking | Referrers | DAO Treasury | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **1 – Max Burn** | **90%** | — | — | **10%** | | **2 – Burn + Growth via Referrals** | **70%** | — | **20%** | **10%** | | **3 – Balanced Burn + Staking** | **60%** | **30%** | — | **10%** | | **4 – Max Staking** | — | **90%** | — | **10%** | | **5 – Staking-Led, With Burn** | **30%** | **60%** | — | **10%** | | **6 – Staking + Referrals** | — | **70%** | **20%** | **10%** | > _DAO Treasury share starts at **10%** and may scale up to **20%** over time._ ### Option details **Option 1 – Max Burn** - 90% Buyback & Burn - 10% DAO Treasury **Option 2 – Burn + Growth via Referrals** - 70% Buyback & Burn - 20% Referrers - 10% DAO Treasury **Option 3 – Balanced Burn + Staking** - 60% Buyback & Burn - 30% xANON Staking - 10% DAO Treasury **Option 4 – Max Staking** - 90% xANON Staking - 10% DAO Treasury **Option 5 – Staking-Led, With Burn** - 60% xANON Staking - 30% Buyback & Burn - 10% DAO Treasury **Option 6 – Staking + Referrals** - 70% xANON Staking - 20% Referrers - 10% DAO Treasury * * * ## 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. * * * ## Scope Changes vs. Prior Draft - Streamlines this vote around **how revenue is split**. * * * ## Voting Details **Format:** Single-choice vote — select exactly one option (1–6). **Discussion period extended through:** **3 September 2025** **Snapshot vote window:** **3–5 September 2025** ---

for sure, the repurchase of tokens, I believe to be the most effective action at this time. so it’s 1. ---

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. ---

To ensure informed decision-making, the community needs full transparency on current and past DAO finances before voting on the treasury/profit split. Requested Information: 1. HUD & Referral Income – current + historical, split by source. 2. HUD Running Costs – current operating costs, itemized. 3. Treasury Expenses – monthly costs so far + projections. 4. Token & Treasury Transactions – ANON tokens distributed, treasury assets, transaction details (amounts, recipients, purposes). 5. Team Distribution Addresses – incl. related transactions. Rationale: - DAO members cannot evaluate a profit split without knowing real costs and past allocations. - Transparency ensures legitimacy of the vote and strengthens community trust. ---
