The Treasury & Supernova

DarkMatterTreasury is the protocol’s autonomous funding engine: every protocol-owned ETH stream lands here and converts back into growth without manual work.

Stream	Source	Note
Streak-rescue fees	`StardustWheel.saveStreak()` forwards 100% of the ETH fee	See Stardust
Gas-sponsor skim	The reactor diverts ≤5% of its team-fee chunk (`gasSponsorBps`)	Fail-safe — a rejected skim never bricks fee routing
FounderPass mint revenue	0.25 ETH × 215, forwarded on mint	Plus the permissionless legacy sweep
LootBoxNFT box revenue	100% of every box price, fail-closed forward	See Lootboxes
EarnZapRouter exit fees	1% of every zap withdrawal	See Earn Zap
NftLoanPool interest fee	10% of all loan interest	See NFT Loans

Autonomous outflows — allowance-capped

Gas relay top-up

The treasury cron (the operator) tops up the first-deposit gas-sponsor wallet. Spending is hard-capped by a rolling 30-day allowance:

uint256 public constant OPERATOR_PERIOD = 30 days;
function operatorSpend(address target, uint256 value, string calldata memo) external onlyOperator;

Two independent containment layers:

How much — allowanceWei per rolling period; a compromised operator key cannot exceed it even in principle.
Where — with the target allowlist enforced, operator spends only reach approved targets (the gas relay EOA). A leaked key funds nothing else.

Supernova epochs

Every real outflow counts toward the next milestone. When cumulative spend crosses milestoneStepWei × (completed + 1) (default step 0.5 ETH), the next epoch is armed and the cron fires it — a server-wide DUST earning boost on the wheel:

function completeMilestone() external;   // admin/operator; permissionless-ish by design
// calls: wheel.activateGlobalBoost(supernovaBoostBps /* default 2× */, supernovaDuration /* 1 day */)

The treasury’s operating spend literally becomes a community-visible event — every 0.5 ETH of protocol gas/spend triggers a 24-hour 2× DUST epoch for everyone.

The DAO seam

DUST (the non-transferable activity score) is the vote power:

Parameter	Value
Vote period	3 days (`VOTE_PERIOD`)
Quorum	1% of DUST totalSupply, snapshotted at proposal creation
Propose	Anyone holding ≥ 1 DUST; target must be a contract
Vote weight	Live `balanceOf` at cast time
Execute	Admin — until ownership transfers to a DAO executor contract (two-step)

function propose(address target, uint256 value, string calldata memo) external returns (uint256);
function castVote(uint256 id, bool support) external;

Quorum supply is snapshotted per proposal, so quorum can never retro-change when DUST supply grows. Once the admin seat itself is transferred to a governor contract (adminIsGovernor), proposals execute themselves and the treasury is fully community-governed.

Safety summary

Threat	Containment
Operator key leak	30-day allowance + target allowlist (both enforced on-chain)
Malicious proposal	Admin-gated execution until DAO handover; targets must be contracts
Quorum gaming	Per-proposal supply snapshot
Stranded protocol	Anyone may finalize timelocks; operator can be set to `address(0)` to freeze all autonomous spending
