DAO Treasury Dashboard
The DAO Treasury Dashboard tracks treasury holdings, asset allocation, and grant disbursements across major blockchain protocol foundations domiciled in Switzerland. Data is sourced from foundation transparency reports, on-chain wallet tracking, and audited financial statements submitted to supervisory authorities.

Treasury Management Practices
Swiss foundation law requires boards to manage treasury assets with fiduciary prudence. In practice, this translates to diversification requirements, operational liquidity reserves, and documented investment policies. The Ethereum Foundation’s periodic ETH sales into stablecoins and fiat — while criticized by the community — reflect compliance with fiduciary obligations that prioritize long-term operational sustainability over token price support.
The Tezos Foundation publishes biannual reports with detailed treasury composition data, setting a transparency standard that exceeds Swiss supervisory requirements. Other foundations provide varying levels of transparency, from periodic blog posts to on-chain wallet tracking available through blockchain explorers.
Grant Disbursement Tracking
Protocol foundation grants represent the primary treasury outflow. The Ethereum Foundation funds consensus and execution client teams, applied research, developer tooling, and community programs. The Web3 Foundation’s Grants Program funds Polkadot and Substrate ecosystem projects through milestone-based payment structures. These grant programs collectively deploy hundreds of millions of dollars annually in ecosystem development.
