Summary
The treasury has been increased to $8.1m ($6.2m RUNE, $1.9m Liquid), sufficient for a +30 month Runway. Community grants can be allocated. An additional audit is being scoped, capped at $125k.
The Community Reserve of is fully-allocated to RUNEVault, which will be capped at 1m per week.
Treasury
The treasury comprises of $1.9m USD liquid and $6.2m in RUNE.
The Community Reserve is at 15m RUNE which is allocated to RUNEVault. The ongoing emission to the community is necessary to ensure that the original IDO could not be sybil-attacked and that distribution is wide. RUNEVault will make way for Chaosnet and the rewards reduce gracefully at that point.
Runway
The current project runway is at 30 months. All team members are paid 70% in USDT and 30% in RUNE for alignment with the project.
The team are positioning to increase hiring again.

Community Grants
The team are monitoring for community initiatives and are willing to fund a variety of projects if they meet the scope and alignment of the project goals. Examples are:
- Telegram bots
- Block Explorers
- Wallets
- Dashboards
- etc
If you are interested in applying for a grant, please apply with the team.
Large Expenses
The team will allocate more funding for an additional infrastructure audit capped at $125k.
Summary
In summary the team’s treasury is healthy for the stage of the project and will allow a solid 30 month runway for the project.
This is more than sufficient to deliver mainnet.
