$INCOME
Universal High Income ($INCOME) has built a custom Cross-chain EL2, Economic Layer 2, for sustainable onchain value and yield.
Through builder SDKs, staking, income nodes, partner integrations, automatic buybacks, and burns, $INCOME turns real ecosystem activity into long-term rewards, supply reduction, and stronger economic alignment across multiple chains.
$INCOME is an Economic Layer 2 (EL2) protocol: a composable on-chain infrastructure layer that turns every transaction, fee, integration, and partnership into yield for holders and permanent supply reduction.
Unlike traditional tokens that rely on market sentiment, $INCOME is structurally designed to be self-sustaining. Revenue flows in from ecosystem activity, is converted to $INCOME, and is atomically split: 60% to stakers, 25% permanently burned, 15% to treasury. Enforced by immutable smart contracts, not promises.
The result is a protocol where growth is deflationary. More adoption means more revenue, which means more burns and more yield. The supply can only decrease. The flywheel can only accelerate.
The $INCOME flywheel is not a marketing concept. It is a contract-enforced economic loop where every dollar of ecosystem activity creates compounding value for participants. There is no reliance on new investors, market hype, or external subsidy.
Ecosystem activity generates revenue from multiple sources: DEX trading fees, partner integrations, marketplace commissions, AI agent operations, liquidity automation, stablecoin mint/redeem fees, node operations, and community tools. Every product in the ecosystem is a revenue input.
All revenue, regardless of its original token, is automatically converted to $INCOME via INDEX DEX. This creates constant structural buy pressure on the open market.
The converted $INCOME is deposited into the Revenue Share Program via deposit_revenue(). This is a single atomic transaction. The split happens on-chain, verifiable by anyone.
In the same transaction, the deposited $INCOME is split into three streams. No multisig, no manual intervention, no trust required.
Stakers reinvest. Burns reduce supply. Treasury funds development of new revenue sources. Each cycle compounds the last. The flywheel accelerates with adoption.
60% Staker Rewards. Distributed proportionally to all staked $INCOME holders using a Synthetix-style accumulator. No lockups required, though lock multipliers are available for higher yield. Claimable at any time.
25% Permanent Burn. Destroyed via SPL Token burn in the same transaction as the deposit. This supply can never be recovered. Every revenue event makes $INCOME scarcer.
15% Treasury. Funds ongoing development, audits, infrastructure, marketing, and new revenue sources. Managed by the Foundation with on-chain transparency.
The $INCOME Foundation is the governance and treasury layer of the protocol. It exists to ensure that the ecosystem is managed transparently, that funds are allocated responsibly, and that the community has a direct voice in the direction of the project.
The 15% treasury allocation from every revenue deposit flows into the Foundation. These funds are not controlled by a single individual. They are managed through transparent fund wallets with on-chain balances visible to anyone, governance proposals that the community can vote on, and a contributor leaderboard that tracks participation.
Fund wallets are created for specific purposes: development, marketing, audits, infrastructure, partnerships. Each fund has a target amount, a transparent on-chain balance, and a lifecycle: Active, Funded, or Deactivated. Anyone can verify how much has been raised and where it sits.
Governance proposals allow the community to suggest and vote on ecosystem decisions, from new partnerships and fund allocations to protocol upgrades and strategic direction. This is not a promise of "future governance". The system is live and operational.
The Foundation benefits the ecosystem by ensuring sustainable development funding without token dilution. No new tokens are minted for development. No team allocations. The treasury is funded purely by ecosystem revenue. The same flywheel that rewards stakers and burns supply also funds the project's future.
$INCOME doesn't rely on a single burn mechanism. Supply reduction is woven into every layer of the protocol. The result: supply can only decrease, never increase. Mint authority is revoked.
EL2 is a composable on-chain infrastructure layer built on Solana. 19 Anchor programs that any dApp, partner, or community can integrate with. Not a sidechain. Not a rollup. An economic middleware that turns any project's activity into yield and deflation.
The GRASS SDK (@income/el2-sdk) wraps all 19 programs into a TypeScript SDK with 60+ methods. Any developer can integrate staking, burns, revenue deposits, governance, and vaults with a few lines of code.
$INCOME staking is proportional. The more you stake, the larger your share of revenue deposits. Tier multipliers and lock bonuses amplify yield without diluting other stakers. All rewards come from real ecosystem revenue, not inflationary emissions.
Tier structure and APY rates are currently under review. Final rates, thresholds, and lock multipliers will be confirmed prior to mainnet staking launch.
| Tier | Stake Required | Base APY | With 60d Lock |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 1 - 999K | 5% | 7% |
| Builder | 1M - 9.99M | 12% | 16.8% |
| Whale | 10M - 49.99M | 20% | 28% |
| Diamond | 50M+ | 25% | 35% |
Lock multipliers: Flexible 1.0x, 7-day 1.1x, 30-day 1.25x, 60-day 1.4x. APY is derived from ecosystem revenue, not token emissions. It scales with adoption. All figures shown are indicative and subject to change.
Holders with less than 10M $INCOME stake into a general staking pool. They earn proportional rewards from the same revenue streams as everyone else. Simple, accessible, and effective.
Holders, partners, institutions, communities, organizations, or governments with 10M+ $INCOME can secure the network by locking their tokens into an individual INCOME Node. A Node is a dedicated staking position. Your own stake, your own rewards, your own contribution to the ecosystem's health.
The core idea is simple. Reduce sell pressure and increase reward distribution for participation. When tokens are locked in a Node, they cannot be sold. That supply is removed from the market. Less sell pressure means a healthier, more stable ecosystem for everyone. Holders, builders, and users alike.
In return for securing the network and removing that supply from circulation, Node operators earn a larger proportional share of every revenue deposit. The more you commit, the more the ecosystem rewards you. This is not a speculative incentive. It is the protocol directly rewarding the participants who strengthen it most.
Proportionally larger rewards. Nodes earn from the same revenue pools, but a 10M+ position means a significantly larger slice of every deposit. The math is straightforward. More staked, more earned.
Exclusive USDi distributions. Only INCOME Nodes receive $USDi, the protocol's stablecoin. This is a yield stream that general pool stakers do not have access to. A direct reward for the commitment of locking meaningful supply.
Network security and ecosystem health. Every Node removes supply from circulation. Burns reduce total supply permanently. Nodes reduce circulating supply actively. Together, they create compounding scarcity. Total supply shrinks while available supply tightens. The result is a structurally healthier market with less volatility and stronger price support.
Anyone. INCOME Nodes are open to any holder, partner, institution, community, organization, DAO, treasury, fund, or government that wants to participate meaningfully in the ecosystem. Whether you are an individual who believes in the long term, a partner building on the EL2 infrastructure, an institution looking for transparent contract-enforced yield, or a government exploring decentralized economic infrastructure. A Node is how you secure the network and earn for doing so.
$INCOME originates on Solana and expands to every major chain. Each chain deployment mirrors the full EL2 infrastructure. Cross-chain tokens are 1:1 backed by locked Solana $INCOME. Burns on any chain reduce the global supply.
| Chain | Standard | Contracts | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solana | SPL Token-2022 | 19 Anchor Programs | LIVE |
| BNB Chain | BEP-20 / EVM | 24 Solidity Contracts | TESTNET |

The EVM contracts (BNB, TRON) are deployable to Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, and any EVM-compatible chain without modification. Each new chain is a new distribution channel feeding into the same deflationary flywheel.
These are not roadmap items. They are live, deployed, generating activity and revenue that feeds the flywheel.
$INCOME is required to participate in every layer of the protocol: staking, tiers, vaults, governance, nodes, partner integration. This is not speculative demand. It is functional demand embedded in the infrastructure.
With mint authority revoked and 6+ active burn vectors, $INCOME supply is mathematically guaranteed to decrease over time. There is no scenario in which supply increases. Every protocol interaction makes the remaining supply more scarce.
Staking rewards come from real ecosystem revenue, not inflationary token emissions. This means yield does not dilute holders. The more the ecosystem grows, the more yield is generated, without minting new tokens.
Each new chain deployment opens $INCOME to millions of new users while sharing a single global supply. Cross-chain burns compound across all chains. Distribution scales; supply only shrinks.
The 60/25/15 split, burn mechanics, and staking rewards are enforced by immutable on-chain programs. Not by governance votes, not by team decisions, not by trust. Verify on the explorer. Read the contracts.
