Treasure DAO is undergoing a restructuring amid mounting financial challenges, leading to the closure of its games and blockchain network. John, the chief contributor, announced the restructuring after an extensive review revealed escalating operational expenses and limited treasury reserves. The DAO’s annual operating costs amounted to $8.3 million, while its current treasury stood at just $2.4 million – a sum projected to sustain operations until July 2025. This financial shortfall prompted the DAO to lay off 15 employees. To secure a longer-term future for the platform, John has proposed withdrawing $785,000 from market maker Flowdesk, aiming to increase the stablecoin balance to $3.2 million and potentially extend operations until February 2026. The DAO also holds 22.3 million MAGIC tokens worth $2.3 million in its ecosystem fund. However, should the price of MAGIC plummet, it could pose a challenge for maintaining operations between December this year and February next year. To navigate these challenges, Treasure DAO’s future strategy will focus on four key products: Marketplace, Bridgeworld, Smolworld, and AI agent expansion technology. The goal is to showcase MAGIC’s real-world application potential through Smols and Bridgeworld while developing Neurochimp agents to enhance market competitiveness. Upcoming community conference calls and governance proposals will address the retirement of Treasure Chain and adjustments in the DAO’s market positioning, with the aim of reversing the current downturn through streamlined operations.
