MINA DT ยท TREASURY FLOW

How the Mina Decentralized Treasury works

Proposals take place in the treasury app: each one is submitted, explored, voted on and cooled down before it pays out. Funds come from Mina Foundation, checks run along the top, and the safeguards sit underneath. Select any box for details.

Each box explains its role and how it changes as the treasury moves through its phases.

Test: 1,000,000 MINA

  • First real proposals, with KYC
  • Break glass active
  • Emergency return available if something goes wrong

Scale Up: 20,000,000 MINA

  • Higher participation requirements
  • Break glass active
  • Emergency return still available

Final: up to 34,000,000 MINA

  • Deployed so funds only move through passed proposals
  • Break glass stays initially, then is removed when conditions are met
  • Steward Key destroyed; thresholds remain as the governance safeguard
