Treasury & Buyback Programs
💰 Status: Pending Governance Finalization This section will be completed once Sova’s Treasury operating framework and buyback policy are ratified through on-chain governance.
Overview
The Sova Treasury manages all protocol-level revenues, reserves, and incentive distributions. It exists to ensure long-term economic sustainability, fund ecosystem development, and maintain alignment between token holders, validators, and users.
This section will define:
Treasury composition and funding sources.
Allocation policies for grants, validator rewards, and ecosystem growth.
Buyback and burn mechanics for $SOVA.
Reporting standards for transparency and accountability.
Guiding Principles
Even before formal ratification, Treasury operations will follow several foundational principles:
Transparency First: All Treasury movements will be on-chain and auditable, with periodic reporting available to the community.
Fixed Supply Economics: With a total supply of 21 billion $SOVA, the Treasury cannot mint new tokens — it may only redistribute, buy back, or burn existing supply.
Value Recirculation: Fees and yield generated from network activity (vault performance, transactions, cross-chain operations) are cycled back into the ecosystem via:
Buybacks and burns.
Validator and governance rewards.
Ecosystem development grants.
Governance-Driven Allocation: Treasury usage and distribution parameters will be set via governance proposals and executed transparently through smart contracts.
Operational Framework (To Be Defined)
Future versions of this document will specify:
Funding Sources: Gas fees, performance fees, and transaction fees collected on Sova.
Expenditure Categories: Grants, validator support, ecosystem partnerships, and operational reserves.
Buyback Policy: How often, and under what conditions, the Treasury conducts market buybacks or burns of $SOVA.
Governance Oversight: Procedures for proposal review, quorum requirements, and execution timelocks.
🧾 All proposed Treasury changes will be voted on by the SOVA DAO and published in public governance archives once the DAO phase is active.
Next Steps
Pending deliverables for this section include:
The initial Treasury Operating Framework (TOF) proposal.
The Buyback Policy Specification, detailing how protocol revenue interacts with supply control.
The Public Treasury Dashboard, integrating on-chain and off-chain transparency data.
In Summary
The Sova Treasury will operate under full on-chain transparency and fixed-supply economics.
All capital movements will be governed by community-approved parameters.
The buyback model will reinforce Sova’s deflationary token design, ensuring long-term alignment with Bitcoin-denominated growth.
This page will be updated as soon as governance formalizes these policies.
