The SURCHI DAO treasury is the financial backbone of the protocol — a community-owned pool of assets that funds development, incentivizes growth, and ensures the long-term sustainability of the ecosystem. Unlike protocols with a team-controlled treasury, SURCHI’s funds belong to its token holders and are governed exclusively by DAO vote. No individual, team, or entity can unilaterally spend, move, or reallocate treasury assets.

​
Treasury Structure

The SURCHI treasury is funded through multiple streams and holds assets across several categories:

Community Reserve Allocation

A portion of the fixed 19,897,905 SURCHI token supply is allocated to the community reserve at genesis. This allocation is held in the treasury and deployed only through governance vote.

Protocol Revenue

Ongoing revenue generated by protocol activity flows into the treasury, including:
  • Execution fees from Sentinel-automated trades
  • API access fees from institutional and developer users
  • Premium subscription revenue from advanced intelligence tiers

Partner Contributions & Grants

Grants received from ecosystem foundations (e.g., Solana Foundation), strategic partner contributions, and any co-incentive programs flow into or are tracked alongside the treasury.

​
Multisig Security

Treasury funds are secured by a multi-signature (multisig) wallet requiring M-of-N signatures from DAO-elected keyholders before any transaction can be executed. This design means:
  • No single person can move treasury funds — not the founding team, not any individual contributor, not any keyholder acting alone
  • Collusion resistance — the threshold is set high enough that a meaningful subset of elected keyholders would need to coordinate maliciously to act against the DAO
  • Elected accountability — keyholders are elected by token holder vote and can be replaced by governance action at any time
  • On-chain transparency — every multisig transaction is visible on Solana Explorer with full signatures and timestamps
Keyholders are expected to execute transactions that have been approved by DAO vote — they do not have discretion to interpret or modify approved proposals.
Treasury addresses will be published at launch. You can verify all transactions independently on Solana Explorer. Full multisig configuration (signers, threshold) will be publicly visible.

​
Treasury Allocation

All deployment of treasury funds requires a governance vote. Token holders collectively decide how community assets are used. Governance-approved allocation categories include:
Funding for developers, researchers, and builders who create tools, integrations, or applications on top of SURCHI infrastructure. Includes developer grants for third-party integrations and bounties for community-identified improvements.
Funding for smart contract audits, formal verification work, infrastructure costs, AI model development, and technical contributors working on core protocol improvements. Security audits are treated as a non-negotiable ongoing expense.
Community-approved campaigns, events, ambassador programs, content production, and growth initiatives. All material marketing spend requires a governance vote with a defined scope and budget.
The DAO can vote to use treasury revenue to buy SURCHI tokens on the open market and permanently remove them from circulation. Buyback-and-burn proposals must specify the amount, timing, and funding source.
Incentive programs to maintain healthy protocol liquidity on Raydium, Jupiter, and other approved venues. Includes liquidity mining rewards, concentrated liquidity range management, and pool seeding.

​
Transparency

Financial transparency is not optional at SURCHI — it is a structural guarantee enforced by on-chain design.
  • All treasury addresses are public and published in this documentation and on the official website
  • Every inflow and outflow is recorded on-chain — there is no off-chain treasury, no shadow accounts, no undisclosed wallets
  • Every transaction is auditable by any person with internet access via Solana Explorer
  • Treasury reports are published regularly in the Governance Forum summarizing balances, revenue, and spending
  • Keyholder identities (where not pseudonymous by DAO choice) and their public wallet addresses are disclosed
The SURCHI treasury operates on the principle that the community owns these funds and has an unconditional right to see how they are managed.
