# Treasury Management

The **Project Treasury** is the wallet that receives funds generated by trading activity on your token. It is the primary way Loadout helps studios raise and manage capital.

### How the Treasury Works

* 4% of every trade (buy or sell) is automatically sent to your project treasury.
* This applies both before and after graduation.
* The treasury is fully controlled by the studio. Loadout never holds or manages your funds.
* All inflows are visible on-chain and displayed on your project page for full transparency.

### Key Benefits

* Continuous funding. You don’t raise once and stop. As long as people trade your token, your treasury keeps growing.
* No intermediaries. Money flows directly from traders to your treasury.
* Real-time capital. Funds become available as trading happens, helping you pay for development, marketing, contractors, and operations.

### How to Access Your Treasury

1. Connect the admin wallet tied to your project.
2. Go to your Project Dashboard.
3. Navigate to the Treasury section.
4. Claim available SOL to your wallet when needed.

You can withdraw funds at any time. There are no lockups on treasury SOL.

### Best Practices for Treasury Management

* Be transparent. Regularly communicate how you are using treasury funds. Traders appreciate visibility.
* Show progress. Link spending to tangible deliverables (new content, hires, marketing campaigns, etc.).
* Start simple. Many studios begin with a single wallet. As your treasury grows, consider moving to a multi-signature setup for added security.
* Plan ahead. Create a rough budget tied to your roadmap so your community understands how funds will be used.

### Security Recommendations

* Use a dedicated wallet for your project treasury (separate from personal wallets).
* For larger treasuries, upgrade to a multi-signature wallet.
* Never share your private keys or seed phrase.
* Monitor incoming transactions regularly.

### Transparency Expectations

Traders on Loadout care about how you use the funds they help generate. Studios that are open about their spending and consistently deliver updates tend to build stronger, longer-lasting communities.Your treasury balance and recent transactions are publicly visible on your project page. Use this transparency as an advantage.
