Analogy
A treasury reserve is like a company’s cash reserve set aside for strategic investments and emergencies.
Definition
A pool of tokens held by the protocol or DAO to fund future development, ecosystem grants, and unexpected contingencies.
Key Points Intro
Treasury reserves support protocol sustainability via:
Key Points
Funding runway: Ensures resources for long‑term development.
Governance control: DAO votes on treasury spending.
Investment: Can deploy capital into ecosystem projects.
Buffer: Provides liquidity during market stress.
Example
A DAO holds 15% of its token supply in a treasury, spending via community‑approved proposals for grants and audits.
Technical Deep Dive
Treasury contracts are multi‑sig or timelock‑controlled. Proposals submitted via governance module trigger `executeTransaction` on treasury to transfer tokens. Reserve accounting uses on‑chain balanceOf and off‑chain analytics for transparency.
Security Warning
Compromised governance process can drain treasury; implement timelocks and quorum thresholds.
Caveat
Large idle reserves risk centralization; consider diversified yield strategies.
