Liabilities

All liabilities have been re-paid except for a 5m XRUNE loan which will be paid imminently. All assets have been secured.

Debt

THORChain has no longer any debt and will not entertain debt after mainnet. Any fund-loss events after mainnet will be shared with all network participants as the network is designed.

Protocol Reserves

60m RUNE remains in standby, with 113m RUNE already deployed to the network. The standby reserve will be used either to contribute directly to Protocol Reserve, underwriting THORFi or other treasury options.

Runway

The current project runway is at 36+ months and is more than sufficient.

Community Grants

Treasury has handed over curation and administration of community grants to NineRealms. Every 3 months, all community projects will need to send a quick pitch to 9R to close another 3 months of funding. This is to ensure capital is being expended efficiently, fairly, and inline with THORChain objectives:

  1. Increase Security of the network (node tooling, node features, wallets)
  2. Increase Liquidity of the network (LP education, LP tools, LP wallets)
  3. Increase Volume of the network (Wallets, Integrations)

Applications have re-opened for Q2 2022.

Planned Obsolescence

Treasury plans to hand over full control of the protocol, github, socials and its treasury not before July 2022 and when the following is hit:

  • Mainnet, 4–5 chains ✅
  • THORFi rolled out ⏳
  • Decentralised (100+ nodes) ✅
  • Adequate community support (wallets, exchanges, dashboards, bots) ⏳

Decentralising The Treasury

It is important that centralised points of failure are removed; the largest one being the treasury management. The goal to mitigate this risk by
1) Contributing to the protocol liquidity.
2) Distribute to teams who have demonstrated long-term alignment with the protocol’s objectives.
3) Underwrite THORFi.
4) An on-chain decentralised community funding mechanism.

Summary

The project’s treasury is more than healthy for the stage of the project and will enable reaching mainnet and Planned Obsolescence.
