The treasury, in the open
The Foundation funds audits, core development, research, bug bounties, and education from a public-good treasury — reported transparently and excluded from governance voting.
All figures indicative // confirm in QUESTIONS_FOR_HUMAN.md — no price, no investment language
Where the treasury comes from.
Genesis reserve
A founding allocation set aside for the public good. A funding mechanism — never an investment thesis.
Network fee share
A share of network settlement fees directed to the commons.
Grants & donations
Contributions from multilateral institutions, donors, and the community.
Where it goes.
R&D
Core-protocol development and the building blocks.
Audits & formal verification
Independent security review of everything the commons depends on.
Education
Documentation, eLearning, and capacity-building.
Operations
The lean operating cost of stewarding the commons.
Reported in the open.
An annual third-party audit covers treasury holdings and flows. Figures are published in mono and marked // indicative — confirm until cleared for publication.
The treasury abstains from governance voting. It cannot be used to capture the commons it funds.
Read the code. Read the Mandate.
The Foundation’s two highest-trust actions. Verifiability over persuasion.
