9.2 Treasury management
The ARX Treasury functions as the financial foundation of the network. It operates as a decentralized reserve that collects protocol revenues, staking penalties, and unallocated tokens, redistributing these assets solely based on DAO-approved proposals.
Primary Funding Areas
The Treasury is strategically utilized to ensure the network remains competitive, secure, and technologically advanced:
Ecosystem Growth: Direct grants for developers building "Mini-Apps," validator incentives, and specialized research initiatives that expand the core ARX infrastructure.
Operations & Security: Financing for high-performance relay and validator nodes, rigorous third-party security audits, and general infrastructure maintenance.
Marketing & Expansion: Funding global user acquisition campaigns, strategic B2B partnerships, and educational outreach to onboard the next generation of privacy-conscious users.
Liquidity & Stability: Management of DAO-controlled liquidity pools, exchange listings, and strategic buybacks to maintain token accessibility and long-term market balance.
Control and Oversight
To ensure the highest level of accountability, ARX employs a multi-layered oversight framework:
On-Chain Transparency: Every treasury movement—from inflow to disbursement—is recorded on the public ledger, allowing real-time auditing by any community member.
DAO Mandate: No funds can be released without a formal community vote, ensuring that expenditures align with the collective interests of token holders.
Security Mechanisms: During the early stages of the network, Multi-Signature (Multi-Sig) safe-guards are implemented alongside timelocks to prevent unauthorized access while maintaining decentralized principles.
Responsible Sustainability The Treasury is designed to hold a diverse basket of assets. By diversifying into stablecoins and protocol-owned liquidity, the ARX DAO ensures it can continue funding operations even during periods of high market volatility.
