🌾 Farming as a Service (Staking)
Hikari introduces Farming as a Service (Staking), a way for $KARI holders to passively earn yield while strengthening the protocol’s floor price guarantee.
🎯 What Is FaaS in Hikari?
With FaaS, users simply stake $KARI to unlock yield generated from Hikari’s floor liquidity treasury. Instead of managing complex DeFi positions yourself, you stake once and Hikari handles the strategy.
Your staked $KARI stays safe.
Only surplus AUSD liquidity (not required to protect the floor) is deployed.
The floor value of $KARI remains intact, no matter what.
🔗 Powered by Katana Chain
All farming strategies are executed exclusively on Katana Chain, a high-performance L2 optimized for DeFi.
By concentrating liquidity within Katana, Hikari:
Strengthens key native protocols like Morpho, Sushi, and Vertex
Keeps gas costs low for farming operations
Aligns with Katana’s ecosystem incentives and rewards
This creates a mutually reinforcing loop between Hikari and Katana’s DeFi stack.
🔄 How It Works
Stake $KARI into the FaaS vault.
Surplus AUSD from the floor liquidity treasury is deployed into Katana-native yield opportunities, starting with Morpho.
Yield generated (in AUSD or other tokens) is fairly split into two streams:
30% distributed directly to $KARI stakers
70% used to raise the $KARI floor price via buybacks or treasury reinforcement
Regardless of the yield token (USDC, USDT, governance tokens, etc.), it will still be distributed proportionally between stakers and the floor liquidity.
At all times, the floor price remains protected—only excess liquidity is farmed.
🧠 Why It Matters
✅ Passive yield without managing DeFi positions 🔗 Deep Katana ecosystem integration, starting with Morpho 🛡️ Floor price guarantee stays intact 🔁 Yield both rewards stakers and strengthens $KARI over time 💱 Yield in any token form is handled and distributed fairly
⚙️ Key Mechanics
Only surplus AUSD liquidity (beyond what’s required to protect the floor) is deployed.
$KARI staking is required to benefit from farming yields.
70% of farming yield strengthens the floor price, while 30% is distributed directly to stakers.
Yield from strategies may come in different tokens, all are proportionally allocated between stakers and the floor liquidity.
All farming strategies prioritize safety, transparency, and composability.
