Intro

Currently, 25% of Nuklai ecosystem revenue (from Helix, Nexus, Legion, and other products) is used to buy back $NAI from the open market. All purchased tokens are sent to the DAO treasury.

This proposal introduces alternative allocation models for community decision. Instead of a binary vote, DAO members will select one from four options for how revenue buybacks should be handled going forward.

The Four Options

Option 1 – Keep Current Mechanism (Status Quo) 25% of revenue is used to buy back $NAI. All purchased tokens go to the DAO Treasury. DAO may decide later how to use these tokens (governance, incentives, ecosystem support, etc.).

Effect: Preserves DAO flexibility, but does not create direct scarcity or external rewards.

Option 2 – Burn All Buybacks (Deflationary Model) 25% of revenue is used to buy back $NAI. Tokens are then permanently burned.

Effect: Creates continuous deflationary pressure and directly links ecosystem success to $NAI scarcity.

Option 3 – Split: Treasury + Staker Rewards (Balanced Incentives) 12.5% of revenue used to buy $NAI for the DAO Treasury. 12.5% of revenue distributed to Launchpad stakers on launch.nukl.ai as stablecoin rewards.

Effect: Ensures DAO treasury growth while simultaneously rewarding community stakers, and thus incentivizing $NAI holders to lock up $NAI.

Option 4 – Split: Burn + Staker Rewards (Deflation + Incentives) 12.5% of revenue used to buy $NAI that will then be permanently burned. 12.5% of revenue distributed to Launchpad stakers on launch.nukl.ai as stablecoin rewards.

Effect: Combines supply reduction with direct community rewards, balancing token scarcity with ecosystem participation incentives.

Why This Vote Matters

• DAO Alignment: Empowers the community to decide how ecosystem revenue impacts $NAI.
• Flexibility: Offers options across the spectrum – treasury growth, deflation, or direct community rewards.

Expected Impacts by Option

• Option 1: Maintains treasury reserves; no immediate scarcity or external rewards.
• Option 2: Strongest deflationary pressure; no treasury reserves or external rewards.
• Option 3: Balanced approach with treasury reserves and stablecoin rewards for stakers, incentivizing $NAI holders to lock tokens
• Option 4: Balanced approach with deflation and stablecoin rewards for stakers.

Voting

DAO members will vote to select one of the four models. The most voted option will become the new standard for revenue buybacks.
