Prop 3: Proposal for the Transfer of Developer Grant Allocation

Simple Summary
This proposal enacts the developer grant allocation logic defined in HIP-2 by authorizing the initial movement of newly generated inflationary HP coins (5% of total inflation) to a designated wallet (hippo15rfg4pydf83zydqkn8g3x7fqahtmhwwqr42rc0).
## Abstract
This proposal authorizes the transfer of newly minted HP coins, up to block 632012, into a dedicated wallet (hippo15rfg4pydf83zydqkn8g3x7fqahtmhwwqr42rc0) designated for development grants. As defined in [HIP-2: Mainnet Node & Validator Proposal], 5% of all newly minted HP coins from inflation are reserved as grants for development teams contributing to the Hippo Protocol mainnet’s technical infrastructure. The coins will be moved to Wallet C on July 1, 2025.
## Motivation
Establishing a transparent and trackable pool of development funds supports the growth and sustainability of Hippo Protocol’s core infrastructure. This transfer enables future community-led grant proposals while separating developer funds from other allocations.
