# Treasury and proposals

> How the community treasury works, how to create and vote on proposals, and how funds get spent.

Every token has a **community treasury** — a Gnosis Safe funded by trading fees. On **community-type** tokens, the treasury also receives the IP Owner fee share. On **creator-type** tokens, that share goes to the verified owner instead.

The treasury grows as long as people trade. Holders decide how it gets spent.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Fees accumulate">
    A portion of every trade's fees flows into the treasury Safe. The balance is visible on the **Treasury** tab of the token page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Someone creates a proposal">
    Any holder with at least **1,000,000 tokens** can create a proposal. Proposals currently support **transfers** — sending treasury assets to a recipient address for an approved purpose.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Holders vote">
    Voting runs on **Snapshot** and is embedded directly in the token page. Any holder with at least **500,000 tokens** can vote. Voting power is proportional to your token balance at the proposal's snapshot block.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Proposal passes or fails">
    A proposal passes when **For > Against** and the For votes meet a **quorum of 80,000,000 tokens**. Voting stays open for **7 days**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Execution">
    Once passed, the transaction executes through the Gnosis Safe. The Safe signers finalize the on-chain action.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What the Treasury tab shows

On any token page, the **Treasury** tab displays:

* **Treasury balance** — current \$IP and token holdings in the Safe, in USD
* **Total fees earned** — all-time trading fees routed to the treasury
* **Active proposals** — open votes you can participate in, with vote bars and countdown
* **Past proposals** — completed proposals with results and execution status

## Proposal types

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Transfer" icon="paper-plane">
    Send treasury assets to a recipient address. The most common proposal type — fund a marketing campaign, pay a contributor, sponsor something.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Burn" icon="fire">
    Destroy treasury-held tokens. Reduces supply.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Swap" icon="arrow-right-arrow-left">
    Exchange treasury assets (e.g. swap \$IP to USDC to de-risk). Coming soon.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Voting thresholds

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Participation" icon="user-check">
    * **500,000 tokens** → Vote on a proposal
    * **1,000,000 tokens** → Create a proposal
  </Card>

  <Card title="Passing" icon="check-to-slot">
    * **7 days** → Voting period
    * **80,000,000 tokens** → Quorum (minimum For votes)
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Tip>
  Voting power = token balance at the snapshot block. Buy after the snapshot and your vote won't count for that proposal.
</Tip>

## Creator vs community treasuries

The treasury exists for both token types, but the economics differ:

* **Community-type**: the 10% IP Owner fee share flows into the treasury alongside the regular treasury fees. More money in the pool.
* **Creator-type**: the 10% IP Owner share goes to the verified owner's wallet. The treasury only receives the standard treasury fee portion.

For the full fee breakdown, see [Coin types](/user-guides/coin-types#fee-distribution).
