[RFC] DAO Treasury Runway and Continuity Planning

Dear Cryptex Community,

I want to raise something before turning it into any formal proposal.

The DAO is getting close to an important point. A lot of CTX from the treasury has already been allocated over the years. Most recently, the May-August 2026 operating budget approved 725,000 CTX, 100k CTX has now been approved for Season 2 staking rewards, 38,748 CTX was approved for Keeper Rewards, and 600k CTX is being used for the new market maker agreement. The remaining unallocated CTX is becoming limited. The whole CTX supply will be fully circulating at some point.

Before more CTX is allocated, I think there is a need for a treasury runway and continuity plan.

For me the main question is simple: what is the plan once the DAO treasury cannot keep funding things mainly through CTX allocations?

If there is a credible path for future funding, revenue or value flow back to the DAO / CTX holders, that would make future treasury decisions much easier. But if the only plan is to keep allocating the remaining CTX until the treasury is depleted, then CTX holders should know that early and plan accordingly.

Before drafting anything formal, I would like to give core contributors time to clarify:

  1. Can contributors provide the CTX / stablecoin activity update discussed in the May-August budget thread and clarify the cadence going forward?

  2. What is the operating plan after the current budget period ends?

  3. What is the expected plan when there is no more CTX left in the DAO treasury? Would contributor work continue through another funding path and are alternative funding paths currently being explored or would work depend mainly on future DAO treasury allocations?

  4. At a high level, is future value from Cryptex products intended to flow back to the DAO, Cryptex Finance LLC, CTX holders, or somewhere else? Can any of these fees be used to fund operations in the future?

I understand that non public or regulated product details cannot be shared. I am not asking for confidential information, securities filing details, or price guarantees. But the DAO should still understand the high level alignment and treasury plan before the remaining assets are depleted further.

Depending on the answers, delegates can then discuss whether a framework is needed for managing and protecting part of the remaining DAO controlled assets, including treasury CTX, MM receivables, and SubDAO assets.

I think it is better to have this discussion early and calmly, while the DAO still has options, rather than waiting until treasury decisions become urgent.
