Treasury Management

The Orbinum Treasury is a strategic fund designed to support the long-term growth and sustainability of the ecosystem. It is funded by transaction fees, slashing penalties, and network inflation.

Management Phases

Phase 1: Strategic Allocation (Current)

During the Development Phase, the Treasury is managed directly by the Orbinum Team. Funds are allocated strategically to ensure the successful delivery of the core product roadmap.

Focus Areas:

  • Core Development: Funding the engineering efforts for Orbits, AgentStudio, and the SDK.
  • Security Audits: Ensuring the safety of the protocol before open governance.
  • Initial Liquidity: Bootstrapping liquidity for the $ON token.
  • Partnerships: Establishing key integrations with other blockchain networks.

Phase 2: Committee-Led Allocation (Future)

In Phase 2, the Treasury opens to community proposals, subject to Governance Committee approval.

Process:

  1. Proposal: Community members submit funding requests for ecosystem projects.
  2. Committee Review: The Governance Committee evaluates the proposal's value and feasibility.
  3. Approval/Rejection: The Committee approves valid proposals for funding or rejects those that do not meet standards.
  4. Payout: Approved funds are released according to milestones.

Funding Sources

  1. Transaction Fees: A portion of all network fees flows into the Treasury.
  2. Slashing Penalties: Tokens slashed from malicious validators are added to the Treasury.
  3. Staking Inefficiencies: Unclaimed staking rewards may be redirected to the Treasury.
