HISS rewards · HISS_REWARD_METHOD_V1

Where verified HISS trading fees go

Verified HISS trading fees support xHISS stakers, long-term vault depositors, healthy vault providers, and the HISS Treasury Safe.

First epoch pendingMethodology published · no epoch scored yet

The reward methodology (HISS_REWARD_METHOD_V1) is published and frozen in code. No monthly epoch has been scored, finalized, or funded yet, and the depositor and provider distributors are not deployed. Nothing is claimable — planned ≠ funded ≠ claimable.

UnknownReward-method activation boundary

Accrual starts only at an owner-approved activation block — there is no retroactive bootstrap epoch. The activation timestamp is pending, so no accrual has started.

Program lifecycle

The public state is derived from the activation artifact, distributor deployment, and published epochs — never hardcoded. Each stage renders distinctly and nothing is claimable before funding, the challenge window closing, and vesting.

The reward method is published and frozen in code, but the depositor and provider distributors are not deployed and the owner has not activated accrual. Nothing is accruing, funded, or claimable.

The reward flywheel

Live per-leg recipient state — a null distributor stays planned, because nothing can move against a null recipient.

30% leg

Depositor rewards

Depositor rewards are based on time-weighted vault participation. They vest over 30 days.

Time-weighted, two-stage allocation

Concave anti-dominance curve on aggregated group participation, capped at 40% per provider group.

Eligible share-secondsShares held × seconds over the epoch; excluded wallets contribute zero.
Group by providerVaults under one provider are one group — self-deposit-spam gains nothing across a split.
Concave anti-dominance curveApplied to aggregated group external-TVL-seconds, never per wallet.
Max group-share capNo single provider group may take more than 40% of the depositor pool.
Linear splitGroup amount splits linearly across vaults, then across depositors by external share-seconds.

Provider rewards

Provider rewards are based on durable external capital, depositor retention, and objective operational quality. They vest over 90 days. Creating a vault does not automatically qualify it; performance does not affect eligibility.

Split equally among all eligible provider groups — a floor that resists whale dominance.
External TVL-days30%
Durable external capital over the epoch, passed through a concave anti-dominance curve. Excluded and self-dealing wallets contribute zero.
