DAO Treasury
Also known as: Decentralized Treasury, DAO Fund, On-chain Treasury
A collective fund controlled by DAO governance used to finance operations, grants, and development.
A DAO Treasury is a pool of digital assets governed by a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO). Treasury funds are accumulated through fees, token sales, or protocol revenues and are used for ecosystem development, contributor rewards, grant programs, and governance incentives. All spending is typically governed by community proposals and voting, ensuring transparent and decentralized fund allocation. Treasury management tools like Gnosis Safe and Zodiac enable multi-sig security, on-chain automation, and auditability. DAO treasuries play a vital role in sustainable and community-led Web3 ecosystems.
