Onchain Treasury

Definition

An Onchain Treasury refers to a pool of digital assets managed and controlled directly by a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) or a blockchain protocol, with all transactions recorded on the public ledger. These funds are typically used for protocol development, ecosystem grants, or operational expenses, with decisions often made through community governance votes. This mechanism provides transparency and decentralized control over collective resources. It is a core element of many decentralized projects.
