Roadmap

Revenue Streams

• Based on the “Stake-to-use” (QUILL as a turn-key equipment) Utility: The QUILL tokens can be acquired and staked as the turn-key capital by any DAO/org/institution/ecosystem who uses the protocol. The Ink Finance protocol can sell the token reserve to these user groups to receive proceeds at market values.

• Based on the “Rent-to-use” (QUILL as a lease equipment) Utility: Any QUILL holders can pool their tokens under INK’s sub incubation sub DAO to cross-chain sponsor any ecosystem that cannot or will not buy and stake QUILL. These pooled QUILLs will earn bespoke rental income, turning QUILL into a leasable working capital - an innovation of the DeFi sector.

• Note: during the bootstrapping stage, 13% of the total issued QUILL will form the Ecosystem Fund that’s dedicated to generating rental income. INK.HK is set up as a commercial arm to lease this asset to trade-fi, web2, and other e-commerce corps, and INK.HK pays the INK MAIN DAO Treasury a carry.

• Leasing of this asset to activate SaaS usage will accrue revenue via a subscription based model.

• Transaction Fees: The INK MAIN DAO manages an Incubation Sub DAO that pools publicly held QUILLs to lend to any user group who cannot buy and stake $QUILL tokens. While 80% of such rental income goes to the pooling public, Ink Finance protocol charges management fees on the treasury and fundraising usage, and such fees will accrue to the INK MAIN DAO’s treasury.

Marketing & User Acquisition Strategy

Ink Finance is not just another DeFi protocol; it represents the foundational infrastructure set to redefine how decentralized finance interacts with real-world governance and compliance. The marketing strategy reflects this transformative ambition, focusing on credibility, sustainable growth, and long-term impact. Before the IDO, Ink Finance emphasizes building trust and establishing strategic partnerships. This involves collaborating with key opinion leaders (KOLs) who are deeply integrated into both Web3 and traditional finance ecosystems, securing high-profile alliances with institutional investors and DeFi leaders to position the platform as a critical player in the financial landscape, and executing educational campaigns. These campaigns include incentivized testnet and mainnet activities, AMA sessions, and detailed white papers to educate early adopters about the advanced governance capabilities Ink Finance offers to DAOs and decentralized financial entities. Post-IDO, the strategy shifts toward sustainable growth and adoption by high-value users. Ink Finance aims to onboard real-world use cases, including regulated industries such as loan syndicates, cross-border payments, and supply chain financing, effectively bridging traditional finance and DeFi. The platform prioritizes product-driven growth by delivering user-centric features such as compliance tools, multi-chain operations, and governance tokenomics, ensuring its indispensability for DAO governance. Community-focused initiatives, such as governance token staking, liquidity mining, and rewards for decentralized decision-making, are designed to transform early adopters into advocates, driving broader adoption by institutional users and DAOs. User acquisition efforts include targeted pilot programs with established DAOs to demonstrate how Ink Finance optimizes governance models and scales operations. Additionally, the platform pursues B2B marketing and compliance-driven partnerships to attract financial entities seeking to decentralize their governance, ensuring steady user growth and the inclusion of real-world capital in DeFi. Ink Finance’s hybrid approach—integrating advanced technology with institutional-grade partnerships—ensures long-term impact, rapid user adoption, and increased market visibility.
