# 7.2 Treasury Design & Funding Mechanisms The DAO treasury operates with transparency and traceability, reflecting the nature of PetVerse’s identity architecture itself. A portion of protocol fees, ecosystem service charges, and optional community contributions flow directly into the treasury. Unlike systems that rely on inflation or speculative loops, the Pet Fund DAO maintains a fixed allocation framework aligned with PetVerse’s long-term mission. Treasury deployment categories include: * **Emergency veterinary procedures for rescued animals** * **Adoption subsidies for shelters and foster networks** * **Memorial installations and remembrance initiatives** * **Ethical research grants for emotional AI and digital companionship** * **Community-funded special projects proposed by PET holders** Funds are disbursed through proposals submitted by community members, reviewed collaboratively, and finalized through on-chain voting. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
