DAO Proposal: Treasury Intervention for ANON Price Support

Date: February 11, 2026
Project: HeyAnon
Proposal Type: Treasury Allocation / Economic Policy

Summary:
This proposal suggests that the HeyAnon DAO adopts a community-approved mechanism to use treasury funds for supporting the ANON token price whenever it falls below $1. The goal is to protect the ecosystem from extreme volatility, maintain market confidence, and ensure long-term sustainability of the project economy.

Proposal Details:

• Background:
Recent market conditions have shown that the ANON token can experience significant downward pressure. Allowing the price to remain below $1 for extended periods may harm contributor motivation, reduce network growth, and damage the reputation of HeyAnon. Many successful DAOs implement buyback or liquidity support programs to stabilize their native tokens.

• Action Plan:
Authorize the DAO to allocate treasury funds for market operations aimed at supporting the ANON price when it trades below $1, including:
– strategic buybacks of ANON on public markets;
– adding liquidity to DEX/CEX pools;
– other transparent mechanisms approved by governance.

• Limits & Safeguards:
– monthly spending cap defined by DAO vote;
– full on-chain transparency of all operations;
– suspension of interventions if treasury balance drops below a safety threshold.

Expected Outcome:
– increased stability of the ANON token;
– stronger confidence among contributors and investors;
– protection of the ecosystem from panic sell-offs;
– demonstration that the DAO actively manages economic risks.

Funding Source:
Funds will be allocated from the HeyAnon DAO treasury with public reporting of all transactions related to price support activities.

Execution & Oversight:
• Operations will be conducted via multisig or an authorized DAO committee.
• All actions will be recorded in the governance channel with regular reports to the community.

Voting Options:

• :white_check_mark: Approve – authorize treasury spending to support ANON price below $1.
• :cross_mark: Reject – do not implement price support policy.

Rationale:
A responsible DAO must protect the value created by its community. Using part of the treasury to defend the ANON price during critical moments is an investment in the future of HeyAnon, contributor loyalty, and the credibility of the entire ecosystem.

Key questions that need to be addressed:

  1. Treasury Allocation
  • What exact amount of USDC is being allocated?
  • Is this a fixed sum or a percentage of the treasury?
  • What is the defined monthly cap in absolute terms?
  • What is the maximum total allocation over the lifetime of the buyback program?
  1. Commencement of Buybacks
  • If approved by majority vote, when does the buyback program begin?
  • Is it immediate upon passage, after a defined delay, or only triggered once the price remains below $1 for a specified period?
  1. Execution Mechanics
  • How frequently will buybacks occur (continuous, periodic, or trigger-based)?
  • What is the size per buyback?
  • Will execution be rule-based (e.g., percentage of daily volume or liquidity depth) or discretionary?
  1. Exhaustion Scenario
  • What happens if the allocated USDC is fully deployed and the price remains below $1?
  • Is the buyback terminated automatically?
  • Is there a defined fallback or restructuring plan?
  • Given there will be no more funds to support development, should the DAO be wind down?
  1. Market Manipulation and Front-Running Risk
  • What safeguards prevent market participants from intentionally pushing the price below $1 to trigger treasury spending?
  • Will execution be algorithmic, randomized, or TWAP-based to reduce predictability?
  • Are there circuit breakers or volume-based caps to mitigate treasury drain?

Thank you for the questions they are valid. Below is a structured response that clarifies the intent of the proposal and addresses the risks you outlined.

  1. Core Principle

This proposal is NOT a price guarantee and NOT a blank check for buybacks.
It is a risk-management framework designed to prevent a death-spiral scenario under the condition that treasury funds are not used as exit liquidity for insiders.

Any intervention must be based on aligned incentives, not on unconditional market absorption.

  1. Treasury Allocation

• Initial allocation: 15% of USDC treasury, capped at $200,000
• Monthly cap: $50,000 OR 20% of 30-day average volume (whichever is lower)
• Lifetime cap: $200,000 total further spending requires a new DAO vote

This ensures the program cannot drain the treasury.

  1. Preconditions for Activation

Intervention can begin ONLY if all of the following are true:

• ANON trades below $1 for 72 consecutive hours
• Treasury balance remains above $500,000
• Team/foundation wallets are NOT net sellers in the previous 7 days
• No OTC deals below $1 are executed by insiders

Without these conditions, any buyback would simply subsidize exits which the DAO cannot rationally approve.

  1. Execution Mechanics

• Fully rule-based (no discretionary trading)
• Method: TWAP + tiered limit orders
• Max per operation: ≤5% of daily volume
• Frequency: every 6 hours while conditions persist
• Allocation: 60% liquidity provisioning / 40% buy walls
• All transactions published in governance channel

  1. Market Manipulation Safeguards

• Randomized execution windows
• Volume cap 20% of 24h volume
• Automatic pause if coordinated sell pressure detected
• Immediate suspension if insider wallets become net sellers

  1. Exhaustion Scenario

If allocated USDC is depleted and price remains < $1:

• Program terminates automatically
• DAO review within 7 days with options:
– tokenomics restructuring
– revenue-sharing model
– controlled wind-down

Buybacks are not an infinite promise.

  1. Key Point

The community is not asking the treasury to “defend a price at any cost.”
We are asking for aligned incentives and shared responsibility.

If the team continues selling while the DAO spends USDC, the program must not operate. Treasury cannot be the counterparty to insider exits.

Please confirm:

  1. Will the team commit to net-zero selling during intervention?
  2. Will treasury and team holdings be transparently disclosed?
  3. Will OTC below $1 be prohibited?

The DAO deserves a real economic policy not a simulation of support.

Thank you for submitting RFC-4: Treasury ANON Price Support Below $1.

Following the discussion period, the proposal did not receive any meaningful engagement or visible community backing on the forum. In fact, not a single post was submitted expressing support or initiating discussion that would demonstrate readiness for the proposal to proceed by community members.

As outlined in the HeyAnon DAO Governance Framework, it is not sufficient to simply publish an RFC. Proposals are expected to generate discussion, attract token holders with aligned interests, and show clear community engagement before advancing to the HIP stage and Snapshot voting.

Governance within HeyAnon DAO is community-driven, and progression requires visible alignment and active participation.

At this time, due to the complete lack of traction, RFC-4 will not move forward to the next stage.

You are welcome to continue discussions, refine the proposal, and repost it at a later time to reassess whether community interest has increased.

Thank you for your contribution to the DAO.
