  • Facilitating the disbursement of rewards for maintenance tasks.
  • Utilizing funds to address unbacked debt.
  • Managing diverse payments initiated by the system owner.
  • Replenishing the system's surplus/deficit sheets when the treasury surpasses its predefined capacity.
  • Providing Protocol Owned Liquidity to decentralized exchanges.
