Resolv Foundation: Q3 2025 Report
Oct 10, 2025
This quarter marked the beginning of a sustainable, onchain economic loop. Resolv Foundation closed Q3 2025 with $898K in protocol revenue and $500K in buybacks, completing the first full cycle of revenue generation, value accrual, and staking rewards.
Revenue Momentum
Since July 1, 2025, Resolv protocol has generated $898,006 in total revenue. The gradual enablement of the fee switch at the end of July transformed protocol activity into recurring, verifiable onchain cash flow, reflecting consistent collateral pool performance and accelerating adoption of Resolv-powered markets.
Revenue Breakdown by Source
Protocol revenue in Q3 was generated across three primary streams:
Revenue Source | Description | Amount (USD) | Share of Total |
|---|---|---|---|
Core Protocol Fees | 10% of returns generated on the collateral pool — the principal, recurring revenue driver tied to user activity. | $644,427 | 72% |
Partnership Rewards | Incentives and token rewards from ecosystem partnerships and integrations (e.g. Ether.fi). | $127,086 | 14% |
Other Revenue | Agreements with asset managers, risk curators, and ancillary services such as swaps and liquidity routing. | $126,493 | 14% |
Total | $898,006 |
Core Protocol Fees remain the dominant and most stable revenue source, consistently contributing over 50% of total inflows since the end of July.
Partnership Rewards, driven by growing inter-protocol collaborations, represented the second-largest component, adding both diversification and long-term ecosystem reach.
Other Revenue continued to expand, reflecting new service integrations and ecosystem-level agreements.
Six Weeks of Continuous Buybacks
On August 26, the Foundation launched its buyback program, channeling protocol-generated revenue into open market purchases of $RESOLV.
In just six weeks, the Foundation executed $500K in cumulative buybacks, with all acquired tokens transferred to long-term treasury, transparently reflected on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko.
The buybacks ratio to Core Protocol Fees is dynamic and takes into consideration not only token price, but also product growth and ecosystem development opportunities that can be unlocked by fees-backed incentivization. Since inception of the program, the buybacks ratio averaged 75%+.
$RESOLV Stakers
Staked $RESOLV is the value-accrual token of the Resolv ecosystem, connecting protocol growth, treasury expansion, and community participation.
The Foundation distributed 3.9M liquid $RESOLV tokens to $RESOLV stakers, sourced from treasure. In Q3, the average staking APR stood at approximately 45%, reflecting the early stage of the ecosystem’s reward structure.
The allocation of tokens designated for staking incentives is dynamic, with decisions made based on market conditions, ecosystem growth priorities, and treasury management strategy.
Looking ahead, the Foundation will expand the reward framework in Q4 with an additional ETHFI distribution for $RESOLV stakers, strengthening cross-protocol engagement and further broadening the real yield base for participants.
Outlook
The third quarter marks the first complete cycle of Resolv’s economic model: revenue generation, token buybacks, and staking rewards now function in concert.
This alignment establishes a structural foundation for scaling the protocol while reinforcing long-term value for $RESOLV holders.
As the ecosystem continues to expand, the Foundation’s focus remains unchanged, ensuring that every unit of value created by the protocol flows transparently, sustainably, and meaningfully back into Resolv economy.
