Vault monetization

How HISS earns on the vault product — every stream disclosed, none touching depositor principal directly.

Revenue streams

• Vault creation fees — 100 USDG default per public vault, to the protocol treasury.
• Protocol share of performance fees — 20% of each creator's performance fee (which itself only accrues above the high-water mark).
• Rebalance routing fees — 2 bps default (0.5–5 bps bounds) of rebalance notional when HISS routing infrastructure executes.
• Vault verification fees — paid review of a vault's configuration, source verification, and disclosures; grants the verification badge.
• Creator subscriptions — plans for creator tooling, analytics, and priority verification.
• Marketplace placements — featured slots, always labeled "paid placement," never implying safety or expected return.
• x402 vault services — paid agent calls: fuse validation $0.50, rebalance-policy compile $1.00, rebalance simulation $0.75, receipt generation $0.25, post-rebalance audit $0.50, risk score $0.50, creator due-diligence pack $2.00, comparison report $1.00.

What HISS does not monetize

• No fee on depositor losses, ever — performance fees exist only above the high-water mark.
• No hidden spreads and no undisclosed referral kickbacks: every referral share is on-chain and emitted.
• No selling of ranking positions disguised as merit — paid placement is labeled.
• No personalized investment advice, at any price.
