Decentralized Treasury

Definition

A decentralized treasury is a pool of assets managed by a decentralized autonomous organization or a community through on-chain governance mechanisms. These treasuries typically hold various digital assets, including native protocol tokens, stablecoins, and other cryptocurrencies, to fund development, operations, and strategic initiatives. Decisions regarding asset allocation and usage are determined by token holders voting on proposals, ensuring transparency and community control. This structure contrasts sharply with traditional corporate treasuries managed by a centralized entity.
