AIP-19: Treasury Staking & Deployment Options

1. Summary

This proposal seeks community consensus on how to deploy AssangeDAO’s currently idle treasury. The goal is to determine the optimal balance between staking for sustainable long-term funding, empowering the $JUSTICE ecosystem, and preserving operational liquidity to reactivate the DAO.

The treasury has remained unused for a long period, generating no yield and providing limited capacity to support mission-aligned initiatives. This proposal presents multiple allocation options, enabling the community to choose the model that best reflects our collective priorities at this stage of the DAO’s revival.

**2. Motivation **

AssangeDAO is entering a relaunch phase that requires both funding and sustainability. The community is divided between two main views:

Stake the treasury to generate yields and grow financial capacity over time.

Deploy funds to empower the ecosystem and reignite community momentum, especially around $JUSTICE.

This proposal avoids a binary decision and offers multiple balanced allocation models, so the community can express its preferred level of risk, activation, and liquidity.

3. Proposal Details

3.1 Staking Portion

Staked only in transparent, low-risk, non-leveraged yield strategies.

All staking yields flow into a Perpetual Fund — a sustainable, regenerative funding pool dedicated exclusively to mission-aligned initiatives.

Staking must maintain exit flexibility.

3.2 Ecosystem Empowerment ($JUSTICE)

Funds used to activate and grow the $JUSTICE ecosystem, including:

Increasing $JUSTICE Liquidity Activation & Buyback Plan, utility and use cases

Incentivizing contributions, builders, creators, and campaigns

Tools, products, art, media, and global initiatives tied to $JUSTICE

Partnerships aligned with the mission and values of AssangeDAO
