DAO treasury management and spending

The DAO treasury holds protocol-owned assets and is governed entirely through on-chain proposals.

Treasury Governance

All fund movements require:

  1. Formal proposal with detailed budget and justification
  2. Community discussion period (minimum 3 days)
  3. On-chain vote meeting the required quorum
  4. Timelock delay before execution

Monthly reports include:

  • Opening and closing balances
  • All approved and executed proposals
  • Running total of grants and payments
  • Yield from protocol-owned liquidity

Smart Contract

The treasury is implemented as a Timelock Controller with the Governor as the sole proposer:

Governor -> Timelock -> Treasury
  (propose)   (queue + execute)  (holds funds)

Only proposals that pass governance can execute treasury transactions.
