Treasury

The StakeWise DAO Treasury is a transparent, on-chain pool of assets controlled directly by SWISE token holders. Secured by smart contracts, it holds the protocol's capital (primarily osETH and SWISE) and exists to ensure its longevity and self-sustainability.

How the Treasury Spends

The Treasury's operational framework relies on smart contracts and social consensus: no individual can unilaterally withdraw assets, and every spend follows the same path. Each expenditure is proposed and discussed on the community forum, then approved by SWISE holders through a Snapshot vote. Every outflow leaves a verifiable record of how the DAO has chosen to allocate its capital.

In practice, those decisions have taken many forms:

  • SWIP-38 ↗ transferred 400 osETH from the Treasury to the Liquidity Committee to seed protocol-owned liquidity for osETH on Fluid ↗, so the DAO acts as its own liquidity provider instead of renting liquidity through token incentives.
  • SWIP-30 ↗ began gradually replacing SWISE token emissions to liquidity providers with osETH paid out of protocol revenue, reducing dilution while keeping incentives in place.
  • SWIP-31 ↗ issued a 12-month grant of 500 osETH and 500 osGNO to StakeWise Labs in 2025 to cover engineering, business development, and operational costs, supplementing the team's node-operating revenue.

Multisig

The Treasury is a Gnosis Safe ↗ multisig with 7 members. It uses the SafeSnap module ↗ (which lets approved Snapshot votes trigger Safe transactions) to execute decisions on-chain.

Because any account can submit a transaction to the Safe via SafeSnap, the committee's role is to monitor proposed transactions and reject any that fall outside what the DAO has approved. Rejecting a transaction requires 4 of 7 committee members to co-sign.
