Revenue Governance
Learn how the community makes strategic decisions about protocol revenue distribution through burn and rebase proposals, shaping Thirdfy's economic model.
Shape the future of Thirdfy's tokenomics through revenue governance. The community has complete control over how protocol revenue is distributed, deciding the optimal balance between token burns (reducing supply) and rebases (rewarding stakers).
What is Revenue Governance?
Revenue governance is the strategic decision-making process where the community votes on proposals that determine how protocol revenue is used. Unlike weekly gauge voting, these are longer-term policy decisions that shape the protocol's economic model.
Token Burns
Permanently remove TFY tokens from circulation by sending them to a dead address. Creates scarcity and deflationary pressure, making remaining tokens potentially more valuable.
Rebases
Distribute revenue directly to staked token holders as additional rewards. These enhanced yields automatically compound in your o33 balance or boost your direct xTFY staking rewards.
Community Choice: The split between burns and rebases is entirely up to you. Want more deflation? Vote for higher burns. Prefer more rewards? Vote for higher rebases. The protocol adapts to community preferences and market conditions.
How Revenue Proposals Work
The revenue governance system is designed for fairness, transparency, and automatic execution:
1. Proposal Creation
Any xTFY holder with at least 1,000 tokens can create distribution proposals. Simply choose your preferred burn and rebase percentages (must total 100%).
2. Community Discussion
All proposals are open for 4 days of community voting and discussion. This gives time for the community to evaluate and debate different approaches.
3. Voting Period
Your voting power equals your staked xTFY balance, ensuring those most invested in the protocol have the strongest voice in its economic direction.
4. Automatic Execution
Proposals receiving over 10,000 xTFY votes execute automatically. No manual intervention needed – the protocol handles everything through smart contracts.
Revenue Sources
The protocol captures value from multiple innovative revenue streams that feed into the governance system:
Current Revenue Sources
AI Service Fees
Revenue from our integrated AI agents that optimize DeFi strategies and yields. As AI adoption grows, this becomes an increasingly valuable revenue stream.
Trading Fees
Fees collected from our concentrated liquidity AMM and automated pool trading activity across the protocol.
Vault Management Fees
Revenue from our partnership with Ichi for automated liquidity management and vault strategies.
Future Revenue Expansion
Cross-Chain Services
Expanding services across multiple blockchains, capturing fees from a broader DeFi ecosystem as the protocol grows.
New DeFi Products
Additional financial instruments and strategies that will generate new protocol revenue streams over time.
Strategic Partnerships
Collaborations with other protocols to create mutually beneficial revenue-sharing arrangements.
Deflationary Impact
The community-controlled burn mechanism creates powerful deflationary pressure:
Permanent Supply Reduction
Each approved burn proposal permanently removes TFY tokens from circulation, reducing total supply and making remaining tokens more scarce.
Measurable Impact
Track the deflation rate - the percentage of total TFY supply permanently removed through burns, showing cumulative deflationary pressure over time.
Compounding Benefits
As revenue grows and burns continue, the deflationary effect compounds. Fewer tokens sharing growing value creates natural appreciation pressure.
Strategic Considerations
When participating in revenue governance, consider these factors:
Bear Market Strategy
During downturns, higher burn rates can create scarcity and support token value through reduced supply.
Bull Market Strategy
During growth periods, higher rebase rates can maximize rewards for loyal stakers while the protocol revenue is strong.
Balanced Approach
Many proposals balance both mechanisms, providing steady deflation while rewarding active participants.
Creating Proposals
Ready to shape the protocol's economic policy? Here's how to create your own proposal:
1. Meet Requirements
You need at least 1,000 staked xTFY tokens to create proposals.
2. Design Your Proposal
Choose your preferred split between burns and rebases (must total 100%). Consider market conditions and community sentiment.
3. Submit for Voting
Submit your proposal through the governance interface and rally community support.

Key Features of the Model
TFY Protocol's revenue governance system provides flexible community control over economic policy:
Community-Driven Economics
Token holders vote on revenue distribution between burns and rebases, allowing the economic model to adapt to market conditions and community preferences.
Stakeholder Alignment
Decisions are made by active participants in the protocol, ensuring governance choices reflect the interests of actual users and stakers.
Adaptive Framework
The protocol can adjust its economic policy through regular governance votes, responding to changing market conditions and revenue opportunities.
