Treasury
The Treasury, holding 13% of the total RUNE V2 supply (72,150,000), exists to deliver sustainable value to long-term holders. Instead of sitting idle, these funds are actively deployed to generate yield, stabilize the token, and reward the community.
Important: No yield is given for just holding the token. Staking is mandatory to access treasury rewards, platform fees, or emission-based rewards
How the Treasury Works
Investment Yield Sharing
A portion of the Treasury is deployed through low-risk and mid-yield strategies, including:
Protocol-owned liquidity (POL): Providing liquidity to trading pairs to earn LP fees.
A.D.A.M AI driven portfolio strategies: Multi-Chain Automated market-making, farming, and arbitrage. External revenue channels: Print Shop sales, Web2 services, and social-fi platform fees. Profits generated from these activities are paid out monthly in ADA to RUNE V2 stakers (proportional to their weight).
Buybacks and Burns
A percentage of Treasury profits is allocated to buy back RUNE V2 from the open market. These tokens are burned permanently, reducing circulating supply and adding long-term value for holders.
Periodic Airdrops
Treasury reserves are also used for special airdrops to RUNE V2 stakers. Eligibility is based on staking duration and weight multipliers, incentivizing holders to stay committed.
Treasury Governance & Management
The RUNE V2 Treasury is governed by a Council of 10 - a select group chosen through token-weighted community voting. This decentralized governance model ensures professional management while giving RUNE V2 holders direct influence over treasury strategy.
The Council of 10
The RUNE V2 Treasury is governed by a Council of 10 - a select group of experienced community members and ecosystem stakeholders responsible for treasury growth and strategic investments. This decentralized governance model ensures professional management while maintaining community input.
Council Responsibilities
Investment Decision Making
The Council evaluates and votes on all treasury deployment strategies, from conservative yield farming to strategic partnerships and cross-chain opportunities.
Community Proposal Review
Community members can submit investment proposals for Council consideration. The Council reviews, discusses, and votes on community-generated ideas for treasury utilization.
Strategic Planning
Beyond reactive decisions, the Council proactively identifies emerging opportunities across multiple blockchains and DeFi protocols to maximize treasury returns.
Risk Management
The Council establishes risk parameters and diversification strategies to protect treasury assets while pursuing meaningful yields for RUNE V2 holders.
A.D.A.M AI Integration
Automated Trading Support
The Council leverages A.D.A.M - a multi-chain portfolio management AI that executes trading strategies, rebalances positions, and identifies arbitrage opportunities across ecosystems.
Cross-Chain Opportunities
A.D.A.M monitors opportunities across Cardano, Ethereum, Solana, and other major chains, providing the Council with data-driven insights for investment decisions.
Risk Assessment
The AI continuously analyzes market conditions, protocol risks, and yield opportunities to inform Council decision-making with real-time intelligence.
Execution Efficiency
While the Council makes strategic decisions, A.D.A.M handles tactical execution - entering positions, managing stops, and optimizing timing for maximum returns.
Multi-Chain Treasury Strategy
Beyond Cardano
The treasury isn't limited to Cardano-native opportunities. The Council can deploy funds across any blockchain where profitable, sustainable yields exist.
Cross-Chain Yield Farming
Access to major DeFi protocols on Ethereum, layer-2 solutions, and emerging ecosystems expands the opportunity set far beyond single-chain limitations.
Strategic Diversification
Multi-chain deployment reduces ecosystem risk while capturing the best opportunities regardless of which blockchain they exist on.
Liquidity Management
A.D.A.M manages cross-chain bridges and liquidity positioning to ensure optimal capital allocation across all supported networks.
