Summary
This TEMP CHECK proposes a new token flow policy for BIM sold through fiat payment methods, including bank transfer purchases made through the BIM platform.
Under this framework, BIM sold via fiat rails would not be sourced through market selling activity on DEXs or CEXs. Instead, the equivalent BIM amount would be allocated at the end of each month to the buyback reserve wallet, as BIM Protocol internally finances these fiat sales.
The objective is simple: avoid adding sell pressure to the market, while strengthening the protocol’s buyback structure and improving the long-term alignment of BIM tokenomics.
The buyback reserve wallet is publicly trackable here:

Motivation
As BIM expands its infrastructure and onboarding rails, it is important to ensure that fiat-based BIM sales are handled in a way that remains aligned with the protocol’s long-term incentives.
Today, when BIM is sold through fiat channels such as bank transfer, these sales are supported by BIM’s internal infrastructure. In other words, they are not intended to create direct market sell pressure through public liquidity venues.
Rather than letting these flows remain informal or unclear from a governance perspective, this proposal aims to formalize a clear rule:
-
BIM sold through fiat channels should not generate market sell pressure
-
the corresponding BIM amount should reinforce the buyback reserve
-
the process should be predictable, transparent, and visible to the community
This would create a more coherent tokenomics model where fiat adoption contributes to protocol strength instead of weakening market structure.
Proposal
This TEMP CHECK proposes that:
1. Scope
The rule applies to all BIM sold through fiat payment channels, including bank transfer integrations available on the BIM Exchange platform.
2. No Market Sell Pressure
BIM sold via fiat should not be sourced through open-market selling mechanisms on DEXs or CEXs in order to fulfill those purchases.
Instead, these sales are financed internally by BIM Protocol infrastructure.
3. Monthly Allocation to Buyback Reserve
At the end of each month, the equivalent BIM amount corresponding to fiat-based sales would be transferred or allocated to the buyback reserve program.
This means that BIM sold through fiat channels would be absorbed within the protocol structure, while the equivalent amount strengthens the protocol’s buyback reserve.
4. Public Tracking
The reserve wallet receiving these BIM allocations is publicly visible through the dashboard:
Buyback reserve wallet:
0x472f31ab919ef12ccadfdd3f9ed5704397546d79
Dashboard:
https://bim-buyback.yecho.app/buyback || https://bim-analytics.yecho.app
This allows the community to monitor the implementation of the policy over time.
Why this matters
This proposal brings several benefits to the BIM ecosystem:
Reduced sell pressure
Fiat-based sales would not translate into additional public market selling, which helps protect market structure.
Stronger buyback mechanics
Instead of weakening the token economy, fiat sales would contribute to the buyback reserve and strengthen the long-term utility of BIM.
Clearer tokenomics
This creates a transparent and governance-approved framework for how fiat BIM sales are handled.
Better community visibility
Because the reserve wallet is public and already tracked through the dashboard, token holders can verify the process directly.
Discussion points
The goal of this TEMP CHECK is to gather community feedback before moving to a formal vote.
Key questions for discussion:
-
Should fiat-sold BIM systematically be allocated to the buyback reserve at the end of each month?
-
Is a monthly settlement cadence the right approach?
-
Should the DAO require an additional monthly report summarizing:
-
total BIM sold via fiat
-
total BIM allocated to the buyback reserve
-
transaction references / on-chain proof
-
Conclusion
This TEMP CHECK is intended to formalize a simple principle:
Fiat BIM sales should not create market sell pressure and should instead reinforce the buyback reserve.
If the community supports this direction, a final governance proposal can then be submitted with the exact operational details and reporting standards.
