What the treasury funds
- Bug bounty payouts. Real cash for real findings, paid from a publicly visible balance.
- Audits. Continued independent security review as the contract surface grows.
- Oracle fees. The protocol pays the oracle network for the signed data it consumes.
- Integrations and grants. Bounties for builders integrating Prediction Arena markets into other products.
- Liquidity bootstrapping for new markets. Seeded pots so new markets are immediately playable.
- Operations and infrastructure. Servers, monitoring, on-call, and the people who keep the lights on.
What the treasury does not fund
- Insider buybacks
- Off-chain marketing kickbacks
- Anything that cannot be defended in a public post
