[HIP-XX] Allocate a Portion of WSPN Partnership Revenue to HIFI Stakers

Title: [HIP-XX] Allocate a Portion of WSPN Partnership Revenue to HIFI Stakers

Summary:
This proposal suggests directing a percentage of the revenue generated from the WSPN x HIFI partnership into the HIFI DAO treasury, with a portion distributed to HIFI stakers. This aligns token holder incentives with the growth of HIFI’s institutional payment business.

Background:
In Jan 2026, WSPN announced a strategic partnership with HIFI to enable seamless stablecoin-to-fiat conversion for institutional clients. This partnership addresses a $200B+ cross-border payment market.
Currently, there is no mechanism for WSPN revenue to flow back to HIFI token holders. As a result, the HIFI token does not capture value from one of HIFI’s biggest real-world use cases.

Motivation:

  1. Align Incentives: If stakers benefit directly from WSPN volume, they are incentivized to hold and promote HIFI long term.
  2. Reduce Sell Pressure: Real yield makes HIFI a productive asset instead of just a governance token.
  3. Attract Liquidity: Other protocols like AAVE and CRV grew massively after activating their fee switch.

Specification:

  1. Revenue Source: X% of all net revenue HIFI receives from the WSPN partnership and on/off-ramp fees.
  2. Distribution:
  • 50% distributed to HIFI stakers who lock HIFI in the staking contract
  • 50% retained in the DAO Treasury for growth, audits, and RWA expansion
  1. Implementation: Activate an updated “fee switch” via smart contract to collect and distribute WSPN-related revenue.

Risks & Mitigation:
Risk: Reduced short-term treasury funds.
Mitigation: Only 50% goes to stakers. The rest compounds for the DAO.

Voting Options:

  1. For: Implement revenue share from WSPN to HIFI stakers as described above.
  2. Against: Do nothing. Keep current tokenomics

Disclosure: I hold 740,000 HIFI and strongly support this proposal.
This will align incentives and bring real yield to stakers.

Q: Why not just buyback?
A: Buybacks are 1-time. Revenue sharing creates permanent demand for staking HIFI.

What % do you think is fair? 25% or 50% of the partnership revenue?
Let’s discuss.
