Summary

This proposal seeks to approve the first external reward distribution to $RESOLV stakers - ETHFI, EtherFi protocol token, earned from Resolv’s collateral exposure to weETH in EtherFi during Seasons 1 and 2 of Resolv points program.

The rewards are proposed to be distributed as follows:

Total amount: 120,000 ETHFI tokens

Distribution mechanics: to stRESOLV holders proportionately to their staking duration multiplier, over a 3-month period, starting promptly upon approval of this proposal.

Rationale

Part of Resolv’s collateral pool is deployed in weETH through EtherFi, which generates ETHFI rewards on top of the base yield from EtherFi points program.

These rewards have been envisioned as part of the long-term token design where external integrations reinforce the economic value of $RESOLV.

This proposal activates that commitment by directing ETHFI partner rewards to $RESOLV stakers, introducing the first stream of external, non-inflationary yield into the staking system. As partner rewards become a steady yield source, native emissions will be gradually reduced to lower inflation and make staking rewards more sustainable. Over time, a larger share of staking yield will come from ecosystem integrations like EtherFi instead of protocol emissions alone.

The distribution window overlaps with EtherFi’s $50M buyback program, providing additional support for ETHFI during the accrual period.

Specification

• Three-month linear distribution Rewards stream to stakers gradually over three months.
• Fair allocation through existing multiplier Rewards use the same duration-based multiplier as $RESOLV staking: longer staking → higher multiplier → larger share.

Implementation

Rewards will be distributed through the existing Resolv staking infrastructure with a light configuration update to include ETHFI tokens.

Forward outlook

This proposal sets a long-term precedent: when Resolv earns through integrations, stakers benefit directly.

As external yield sources grow, Resolv’s reward model will rely less on emissions and more on partner-generated returns.

Next steps

Implementation will begin promptly after approval and after unstaking the required ETHFI amount

If approved, the proposal will:

• Activate the 120,000 ETHFI / 3-month distribution schedule
• ETHFI rewards will go live in the staking dashboard
• Results of the Phase 1 will be reviewed after three months as part of planning Phase 2 (future partner reward distributions)
