Treasury WG · Set 6–12 month operating budgets for core functions

Community feedback argues the DAO should "think like a company" with a 6–12 month budget horizon: vote a single budget per core function (e.g. Network Operation & liveness, Market Making) and let the operating body spend within it, rather than voting on every line item. The Permanent RAC must surface how much is needed to run the DAO's core functions.

Deliverables

• Publish a cost model for core functions (network liveness, market making, wallet/engine, governance ops).
• Vote 6–12 month budgets per function via RFP.
• Grant spend authority within budget to the relevant WG / Authorized Signers.
• Report actuals against budget each period.

Dependencies & cross-references

• Governed by the framework the DAO ratified on 2 October 2026, held in RadixDAO/governance-framework; Daffy's Shadaffy/radix-dao is the reference library of earlier drafts. See the Governance Framework Reference Repo and Charter (Round 1) RFCs.
• Sized by the transferred treasury.
• Funds network operations and market making.
