Runway Planning
How long until the money runs out? With $3M treasury and $150K monthly burn, you have 20 months - unless token price drops 50%. Use stable runway for realistic planning.
Diversification Check
Treasury is 80% native token? That's concentration risk. When (not if) there's a 60% drawdown, you lose 60% of runway. Analyze allocation and rebalance before it's too late.
Budget Proposals
Preparing quarterly budget for governance vote? Show the breakdown: $100K core team, $40K grants, $20K ops. Transparency builds trust. This tool makes professional presentations easy.
Bear Market Prep
Bull market revenue won't last. Calculate worst-case runway assuming 0 revenue and 50% token drop. If that's under 12 months, time to build stablecoin reserves now while you can.
Hiring Decisions
Can we afford 3 more devs at $15K/month each? That's $45K extra burn. Check if runway stays above 18 months after the increase. If not, hire 2 now, 1 later.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our runway is only 6 months - what do we do?
Immediate triage: 1) Cut non-essential spending (marketing, nice-to-haves), 2) Pause new grants, 3) Consider team reductions. Then: explore fundraising, token sales (OTC preferred), protocol revenue increases, or mergers. 6 months is emergency territory - act fast.
Should we keep all treasury in stablecoins?
100% stables means you miss upside if your token moons. But 0% stables means you can't pay bills if token dumps. Balance: keep 6-12 months expenses in stables (non-negotiable), rest can be more aggressive. Adjust based on market conditions and risk tolerance.
How do we value illiquid native tokens?
Don't use spot price for large holdings - you can't actually sell at that price. Conservative approach: apply 30-50% discount for illiquidity. Or calculate based on 30-day average volume - if you hold 10x daily volume, selling takes months and moves price significantly.
What's a reasonable burn rate for a DAO?
Varies wildly by stage. Early stage: $50-150K/month (small core team). Growth stage: $200-500K/month (expanding team, grants). Mature: $500K-2M+/month (large teams, multiple workstreams). Key is runway, not absolute numbers. $1M/month is fine with $30M treasury, dangerous with $5M.
How often should we rebalance?
Quarterly review minimum. Rebalance when: allocation drifts >10% from target, runway drops below threshold, major market moves (>30%), or strategy changes. Avoid over-trading - gas costs and slippage add up. Set clear triggers in advance.
Should the community vote on every expense?
No - that's governance fatigue death. Better: community votes on quarterly budgets and categories, treasury committee executes within those limits. Individual expenses under threshold (e.g., $10K) don't need votes. Transparency via reports, not micro-voting.
