Use of Funds

Treasury allocations support OLTA’s growth, operations, and strategic alignment with its mission.

The protocol treasury may deploy collected fees and reserves across four main areas:

1. Ecosystem Grants & Rewards

• Support for contributors, developers, and early participants in network governance

• Staking rewards programs with vesting and participation-based incentives

• Referral and onboarding campaigns

• Grant programs to expand adoption and index participation

2. Strategic Partnerships & Integrations

• Funding for joint development with protocols, infra providers, or data networks

• Incentives for index integration into dashboards, wallets, L2s, or custodians

• Liquidity mining and reward structures tied to key usage metrics (AUM, TVL, index adoption)

• Budget for token listing fees or exchange integration costs

3. Protocol Operations, Product Costs & Governance

• Compensation for core contributors (technical development, product, and ops)

• Legal, compliance, and external service providers (incl. audits, KYC partners)

• Maintenance of frontend interfaces, data infrastructure, and index smart contracts

• Funding for governance tooling, analytics, and participation mechanisms

4. Marketing & Ecosystem Growth

• Paid advertising and promotional campaigns to increase OLTA visibility

• Collaboration with KOLs and content creators to amplify reach

• Budget for incubator partnerships and ecosystem accelerators

5. Liquidity Support & Emergency Reserves

• Provision of Protocol-Owned Liquidity (POL) to stabilize index token pricing and market health

• Temporary incentives for liquidity pools (e.g., CEX/DEX market making, bootstrap programs)

• Emergency deployments during adverse market conditions (Phase 4 allocations only)

• Long-term reserves earmarked for delayed vestings and mission-linked milestone releases

Fund usage is subject to governance oversight and may require proposal and vote depending on amount and strategic impact.
