Summary
To enhance market adjustment flexibility while safeguarding the long-term security of the Treasury, this proposal introduces a combined mechanism of Treasury Allocation × MBR Replenishment:
Prioritize the allocation of $5M from the Treasury into MBR (Market Balance Reserve), and simultaneously launch a dedicated MBR-to-Treasury replenishment program, so that Treasury funds deliver immediate market adjustment value while being gradually replenished back to their original level through MBR's steady income.
Purpose
- Greater Flexibility: Allocating Treasury funds into MBR provides stronger market adjustment capability than RBS;
- Long-Term Treasury Security: Dedicated MBR replenishment ensures the Treasury is not depleted by activation;
- Closed-Loop Structure: Treasury → MBR → Market Adjustment → Treasury Replenishment, forming a self-sustaining cycle.
Implementation Details
- Priority Allocation of Treasury Funds into MBR
Allocate $5M from the Treasury into MBR (rather than RBS) to support dynamic market adjustment.
- MBR-to-Treasury Replenishment
Launch a dedicated MBR-to-Treasury replenishment program: over the coming months, MBR will prioritize allocating its ETH burn income back into the Treasury, until the full $5M is restored.
📌 Core Principle: Treasury funds are activated, not consumed — allocate first, replenish after — forming a dynamic yet secure closed loop.
📌 Note on the MBR Ceiling
This Treasury allocation is a special adjustment arrangement. Approximately 400,000 ARK will be retained within MBR as a liquidity reserve, ensuring MBR has sufficient operational space for two-way market adjustment.
This arrangement does not change the $5M total ceiling principle of MBR, and serves only as a structural complement to the current Treasury activation.
Execution Schedule
- Upon proposal approval, the $5M allocation into MBR will be executed via the Treasury multi-sig process;
- The MBR-to-Treasury replenishment program will launch simultaneously and be fulfilled through ongoing ETH burn income;
- All allocation and replenishment operations will be executed on-chain with full transparency;
- Treasury and MBR fund flows will be reported to the community on a regular basis.
