• Buyback & Redistribute: Transaction fee revenue is used to purchase HEMI tokens, which are then distributed as yield to veHEMI stakers (100,320.69 HEMI in Stage 1).
• Direct Revenue Share: Protocol fees are also converted into hemiBTC (0.2445 hemiBTC in Stage 1) and distributed directly to veHEMI stakers as non-HEMI yield.

HEMI serves 3 primary functions within the Hemi ecosystem: Network Security, Staking Rewards, and Vote Escrow. The protocol generates fees from user activity. Value flows back to token holders through Buyback & Burn, Buyback & Redistribute, and Direct Revenue Share.

Token utilities:

• Network Security: Validators and publishers stake HEMI tokens as part of Hemi's hybrid consensus system (PoS + PoP), serving as economic insurance against malicious behavior and anchoring network state to Bitcoin.
• Staking Rewards: veHEMI stakers earn yield based on lockup duration: ~3.93% (6-month) to ~42.22% (48-month). Stage 1 of the economic model allocated 100,320.69 HEMI and 0.2445 hemiBTC derived from transaction fees to veHEMI stakers.
• Vote Escrow: The veHEMI system requires locking HEMI for a chosen period (6–48 months) to gain voting power; longer locks yield proportionally greater governance weight over protocol parameters and treasury allocation.
