Treasury Mechanics

Tax funding and bond issuance are used to support the DAO’s treasury management and deflationary mechanisms, which encourage active participation in the DAO’s decision-making processes, and help maintain the protocol's stability.

On a weekly basis, two proposals are held; asset submission and asset selection. The asset receiving the most votes (token balance weighted) is purchased on behalf of the DAO at the end of the voting period.

After one week, the asset is removed from the DAO's portfolio, whether in profit or loss. The resulting balance is then used to purchase $QD at market rate and burned.

No staking is explicitly required, however, $sQD is used for voting.
