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 the protocol's longevity and self-sustainability.

How Spending Is Decided

The Treasury's operational framework relies on smart contracts and social consensus: no single 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.
