The DAO needs a ratified custody model for its treasury: native on-ledger multisig vs. mixed custody, and a Treasury Risk & Diversification stance (how much XRD vs. stablecoins to hold against a 6–12 month runway).

## Deliverables

- Resolve the Temp Check on primary XRD custody.
- Adopt the Treasury Risk & Diversification Policy (Phase 2) target ratios.
- Define stablecoin runway sizing for operating expenses.
## Dependencies & cross-references

- Governed by [Daffy's Radix DAO framework](https://github.com/Shadaffy/radix-dao) (repo `Shadaffy/radix-dao`); see the [Governance Framework Reference Repo](https://radixtalk.com/t/rfc-dao-governance-framework-reference-repo/2268) and [Charter (Round 1)](https://radixtalk.com/t/rfc-dao-documents-round1-the-charter/2269).
- Implemented by [the treasury multisig](/ideas/dao-treasury-multisig-signers).
