Protocol economics
Businesses and members route activity through Rhiz. Gross revenue the protocol earns from fees and similar mechanisms is allocated by policy: mostly back to the community, then to the two stakeholders who run coordination and infrastructure.
Overview
You do not need to care how the sausage is made. The point is simple: when the protocol earns, a large share is earmarked for things members actually asked for on our surfaces, and another slice pays people who show up and do the work.
For contributors
Dual-stakeholder design: one side coordinates business and go-to-market functions, the other maintains the technical protocol. The remainder of revenue after community programs and rewards is split between those roles under treasury rules that we expect to publish and tighten over time. Decentralization is progressive, not a day-one stunt.
Gross revenue allocation
40%
Community programs fund
Of gross protocol revenue from transaction fees and comparable mechanisms. Reinvested into events and applications that serve needs members surface on our platforms.
30%
Direct participation rewards
Rewards for active, verifiable participation in the network. Distribution follows standing and policy, not vanity metrics.
Remainder
Split between two parties
Business coordination
Functions that align partners, programs, and go-to-market with the protocol.
Technical protocol
Infrastructure, security, and core software that keep the graph and services reliable.
Exact split between these two is set by treasury policy and can change as the network matures.
Two units, one economy (roadmap)
Nothing below is live for sale on this page. Wording may change after legal review. We are not offering securities for investment.
Time-anchored ledger
A tradable ledger built around a simple rule: an hour is an hour. Participants exchange time with each other. That resists dilution of the unit itself and reduces pressure to fund that leg of the economy through discretionary treasury runs.
Economic coordination unit
A separate unit for pricing and moving value inside the protocol economy. We expect launch practice aligned with common safeguards: about ten percent of supply available for initial circulation-oriented use, with the majority time-locked. No farming, liquidity mining, or packaged DeFi at debut. Early activity emphasizes exchange between participants inside the economy we are growing from zero.
Deployment stance
We expect an EVM-compatible first deployment. Base is our working default. We stay flexible as cross-chain settlement improves and as we evaluate additional venues. Launch excludes yield farming and generic DeFi plumbing; complexity comes later only if it serves real coordination.
Jurisdiction
Structures and token mechanics are reviewed with counsel before anything is offered broadly. Bermuda is our primary focus for entity and program design. Switzerland and Panama remain under study for specific functions. U.S. operations today do not mean every future instrument is offered in every market.
How we think about the stack
01
Amorphous monolith
One engine, many surfaces. Revenue and policy apply across the constellation instead of per-silo games.
02
Treasury as policy
Percentages are commitments to intent. Governance and transparency tighten as the network earns the right to more autonomy.
03
Progressive decentralization
We ship what works in fiat and internal ledgers first, then move settlement and rules on-chain when the economics and law are ready.
Trust-weighted rewards
The 30% participation slice is not flat. Standing and verified outcomes on the graph inform who earns more. Multipliers on the old page were illustrative; real curves ship with the rewards module and published rules.
Forward-looking statement
This page describes direction, not a binding offer. No token or program described here is an offer to sell securities or an invitation to invest. Availability, mechanics, and jurisdictions will depend on final legal structure and applicable law. Rhiz does not provide legal, tax, or investment advice. If and when we run a public program, details will be in official documents for that program only.
