QuickSwap 🐲 DragonFi 2.0 (@QuickswapDEX): Governance Proposal: Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) Strategy - Future-Proofing The QuickSwap Protocol

Governance Proposal: Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) Strategy - Future-Proofing The QuickSwap Protocol QuickSwap has stood resilient since its inception in October 2020, becoming a leader in innovation and adoption initially on Polygon - now a powerhouse on 10 other EVM chains. The DEX has continued to be community focused and driven, supporting initiatives from the ground up; community first. Moving forward, QuickSwap wants to be more strategic as a whole when it comes to efficiently and effectively using revenue to help grow community funds and value, in the interest of long-term sustainability and supporting the broader community as a whole. This governance proposal has been introduced for the dragon community to approve of a new QuickSwap Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) strategy! This would give the Foundation greater flexibility over how funds in the treasury are used to purchase assets to diversify our treasury, as well as generate long term value and yields for the community; and secondly, to slightly increase the percentage of protocol revenue the QuickSwap Foundation receives. The goal here is to increase the value of QuickSwap Treasury and value that comes back to the community, as well as generate more QUICK through additional advanced strategies over the years. For full details, read the entire proposal below. Next Steps: To begin, the governance discussion on the official QuickSwap Reddit will run until Saturday, November 1 at 8:00 PM UTC Once the Reddit discussions finish, a formal Snapshot vote (which will be expedited) will begin and run until Tuesday, November 4 at 8:00 PM UTC Once you’ve read this entire blog post, make sure to visit the official QuickSwap Reddit discussion forum to share your perspective with your fellow community members Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) Details The ultimate goal of this newly proposed QuickSwap treasury strategy is two-fold: to give the Foundation more flexibility of how to utilise revenue when it comes to strategic investments/yield generating strategies to build a long term asset treasury, and to increase the amount of revenue that goes to the Foundation to continue product building, expansion, and operations. Giving the Foundation more flexibility with these funds will help QuickSwap more seamlessly make key strategic decisions that are ultimately aimed at helping the protocol increase sustainability and longevity, ultimately supporting the community as a whole in the long run. The proposal for the new treasury strategy is as follows: 1. 70% of protocol revenue generated will be used to buy back QUICK tokens and an array of blue chip assets (for example: BTC, ETH, AAVE, LINK). Upon acquisition of these assets, QuickSwap will explore opportunities across blue chip DeFi protocols to generate additional yield These blue chip assets and blue chip strategies (BTC, ETH, Morpho, etc.) will also help back the QUICK token and build up a solid treasury Yield strategies could include lending on Aave, Morpho, etc. across multiple chains - whichever present the safest, most secure, and financially optimal opportunities for yield generation based on the discretion of the Foundation at that time These blue chip assets will also be used to create LPs (liquidity pools), building up PoL (Protocol Owned Liquidity) on the QuickSwap DEX A benefit of giving the Foundation this type of flexibility is, for example, the event of token buybacks. Imagine the QUICK token price experiences a large drop (similarly to the flash crash on October 10, 2025) - the Foundation could use a portion of protocol revenue to aggressively buy back the QUICK Token. Another instance could be on the flip side of this situation - where the market is experiencing strength, and protocol revenue is used to buy more stable assets such as BTC and ETH. Here are some key points that should be considered when voting: This will seed QuickSwap creating more PoL (Protocol Owned Liquidity), TVL, more volume, and more revenue - which will create a long lasting flywheel for the QuickSwap protocol and token QuickSwap has the 27th highest “holder revenue” per DeFillama. This can be put to work and increase revenue through compound interest. Einstein once said, “Compound interest is the 8th wonder of the world. Those who understand it, earn it; those who don’t, pay it.” We have generated $198 million in total fees over QuickSwap’s lifetime - we could be using a significant portion of this moving forward to build our community-owned DAT. If we had been doing this from the beginning, we’d likely have tens or even hundreds of millions in a diversified treasury portfolio backing the QUICK token and protocol We have generated $538,000 in “holder revenue” in the last 30 days. We can be earning compounding interest/yield on this over time, building up long term QUICK token holder value and assets As Michael Saylor and others in the DAT space have mentioned, revenue generating businesses or protocols (in our case) are the exact type of entities that can most efficiently utilise more advanced DAT strategies The 2nd part of this vote is that the Foundation is requesting an increase in protocol revenue split. QuickSwap is expanding to additional chains, launching new products, and some of the Foundation’s previous revenue sources have decreased. The Foundation also recently hired multiple new superstar devs, adding to these costs. This small increase would help the Foundation continue to support QuickSwap expansion, growth, build onto the product roadmap, and extend longevity through this somewhat rough altcoin market. 2. 30% of protocol revenue generated will be allocated to the Foundation (previously 25%) If the community votes ‘Yes’ on this governance proposal, QuickSwap will create and display a transparent dashboard on the UI showing the wallet address and holdings of the treasury. Helping Shape The Future Of QuickSwap This new treasury strategy will be critical for the future of the QuickSwap protocol. With the Foundation having greater flexibility over management of the funds derived from revenue generated, it will allow the protocol to make swifter and more calculated decisions based on a variety of factors, such as optimal times to purchase tokens based on market conditions, currently available DeFi yield strategies providing high returns, etc. QuickSwap remains true to its decentralised nature and community-oriented spirit. Let’s help shape the future of the dragon ecosystem and extend the DEX’s longevity.
