# Treasury Management

### How the DAO Manages Its Funds

* We use [Realms](https://app.realms.today/dao/Saga) and Squads to track working group treasuries and support transparent, on-chain governance.
* Funds like the [Core Operations Fund](https://saga-mobile-dao.gitbook.io/codex/core-team/core-funds) or Reserve Fund are held in[ Squads](https://squads.so/).
* The Community Treasury is managed through Tap In.
* Budgets are required for all spending requests.
* Reimbursements require receipts or proof of payment.
* DAO-sponsored Clubs, Teams, Projects, and Working Groups that receive funding will manage their own assets through a multi-sig on Squads.&#x20;
* The Core Team may hold at least one signer on DAO-sponsored Squads for oversight and coordination.

## Treasury Structure

### **Asset Ownership**

* **DAO Property:** All assets, revenues, royalties, or rights generated by the DAO or transferred into a DAO treasury or DAO-sponsored Squad are DAO property.
* **Reassignment:** They cannot be reassigned or clawed back except by a new, mutually executed agreement between the DAO and the original grantor.
* **Clawback Proposals:** Any proposal that functions as a clawback, including attempts by working groups to reclaim revenue or operational funds outside an approved budget or proposals framed as a “gift” or “return,” is invalid without such an agreement and may be rejected as misuse.

### **Approval Requirements & Oversight**

* Treasuries and working group funds must maintain a minimum 60% approval threshold to move any assets.
* This applies to all treasuries and funds, including:
  * **Main Treasury**
  * **Community Treasury**

### **Main Treasury**

* **Purpose:** Central holding for all incoming funds and high-level DAO expenses.
* **Use:** Primarily supports DAO projects, working groups, strategic partnerships, and long-term initiatives. Also funds other DAO treasuries, such as the Community Treasury. Not used for individual contributor payments. Those are handled through other designated funds.
* **Inflows:** External revenue such as protocol earnings, referrals, royalties, NFT sales, grants, and partnerships. These typically enter the Main Treasury first.

### **Community Treasury**

* **Purpose:** Supports proposals submitted and voted on by DAO members.
* **Use:** Ideal for funding events, community tools, or projects.
* **Allocation:** Assets moved here are reserved for community use. Unused funds remain for future community proposals.

### Working Group & Project Revenue Share

* **Policy:** Working groups must have a clear way to return a portion of revenue to the DAO.
* **Agreement:** The group or project proposes a revenue share percentage for DAO approval. This may be structured per project, as a percentage of net revenue, or through another agreed method.
* **Documentation:** Once approved, the terms are recorded in the Codex. Revenue share terms are typically set during group formation or at project kickoff.
