Executable → Community Treasury (Staking-Incentive Allocation)

1. Executive Summary

This proposal lowers the quarterly staking‐reward emission from 250 000 CYBER to 200 000 CYBER for Q3 2025 ( 1 Jul – 30 Sep 2025 ).

• Circulating supply: 44 M CYBER

• Staked supply: 4.2 M CYBER (≈ 10 %)

• Current APY: ≈ 24 % (Q2 schedule)

  With the 20 % emission cut, the indicative APY falls to ≈ 19 %, still far above major networks.

---

2. Motivation

• Treasury sustainability. Q1–Q2 2025 each disbursed 250 k CYBER for staking rewards; reducing Q3 by 50 k extends the DAO’s runway without materially hurting yield attractiveness .
• Tokenomics balance. Circulating float has doubled since mid-2024, pushing the stake ratio down from 17 % to ~10 % while APY crept up to 24 % . High real yields risk overshooting emissions relative to network growth.
• Market benchmarking. Even after the cut, CYBER remains in the top decile of staking yields among large-cap tokens, sustaining our competitive edge without excessive dilution.

3. Specifications

Item	Current (Q2 2025)	Proposed (Q3 2025)	Δ
Quarterly reward	250 000 CYBER	200 000 CYBER	–50 k
Stake ratio*	10 %	9 %	-1%
Indicative APY*	24 %	≈ 19 %	–5 pp

• Assumes the staked amount stays near 4.2 M CYBER.

4. Risks & Mitigations

Risk	Impact	Mitigation
Stake flight if APY falls	Lower network security	APY remains competitive; monitor & adjust in Q4 if stake < 9 %
Treasury mis-allocation	Inefficient spend	All treasury spendings will be transparent to community

---

5. Conclusion

Cutting Q3 staking emissions to 200 k CYBER trims dilution, lengthens the treasury runway, and still delivers a ~20% yield that beats most peers. Community approval will keep CYBER’s incentive program sustainable while freeing 50k CYBER for other DAO mandates.
