Overview

This proposal introduces an opportunity for the Helios DAO community to participate in supporting the early ecosystem development of BuilDeFi, an innovative fair-launch infrastructure protocol designed for token deployments.

BuilDeFi is designed as a first-of-its-kind fair launch platform leveraging the capabilities of Uniswap v4 hooks to enable transparent token launches across multiple blockchain networks.

The protocol will initially launch on Ethereum and expand to Base, Polygon, and more than a dozen EVM-compatible chains that support the Uniswap v4 hook architecture.

BuilDeFi aims to provide builders with a transparent and equitable token launch environment, with mechanisms designed to minimize unfair launch advantages while maximizing accessibility for developers and communities.

Fee Distribution

All fee allocations and distributions are executed through smart contract interactions coordinated by a multi-signature SAFE wallet.

This architecture ensures:
• transparent on-chain fee accounting
• multi-signature governance oversight
• verifiable interaction with deployed protocol contracts

Protocol fee distributions may occur across multiple chains where the BuilDeFi platform operates.

Platform Fee Categories

The BuilDeFi protocol includes several mechanisms through which protocol fees may be generated. These categories form the basis for the illustrative modeling provided in this proposal.

Fee categories include:
• token launch whitelisting fees
• optional boosted visibility for token launches
• token creation activity
• platform points usage
• protocol liquidity participation fees

These mechanisms are designed to align builder incentives with sustainable protocol operation while maintaining accessibility for early builders.

Illustrative Protocol Fee Scenarios

To provide context for governance discussion, three example scenarios were modeled based on different levels of platform activity across supported chains. These scenarios illustrate how participation percentages correspond to potential protocol fee allocations.
Again, these examples are illustrative only and not projections or guarantees of platform performance.

Scenario 1

Total protocol fees generated in one year:
$250,000

Allocation Percentage | Illustrative Fee in USD
1% | $2,500
2% | $5,000
3% | $7,500

Scenario 2

Total protocol fees generated in one year:
$500,000

Allocation Percentage | Illustrative Fee in USD
1% | $5,000
2% | $10,000
3% | $15,000

Scenario 3

Total protocol fees generated in one year:
$750,000

Allocation Percentage | Illustrative Fee in USD
1% | $7,500
2% | $15,000
3% | $22,500

Proposed Helios DAO Participation Options

The Helios DAO may choose, through its governance process, to participate in supporting the early ecosystem development of the BuilDeFi protocol.

Participation tier options are:

0% at $0 1% at $5,000 2% at $10,000 3% at $15,000

Important Notice

The examples provided in this proposal are illustrative only and are intended to demonstrate how percentage allocations correspond to hypothetical protocol fee totals.
Participation levels are based on a reference rate of $5,000 per 1% allocation parameter and subject to DAO treasury funds availability. In the case that the DAO treasury has less funds than the selected participation tier, the participation level will be calculated on a proportional basis. For example, if the vote is for 3% and there is $12,000 available then allocation would correspond to a 2.4% participation.

These examples do not represent forecasts, guarantees, nor expectations of platform performance.

Participation in this proposal does not represent equity ownership, investment rights, or financial securities in any entity associated with the BuilDeFi protocol.

All protocol operations remain subject to governance decisions and the evolving design of the protocol’s smart contract systems.
