§Treasury Pallet

The Treasury pallet provides a “pot” of funds that can be managed by stakeholders in the system and a structure for making spending proposals from this pot.

§Overview

The Treasury Pallet itself provides the pot to store funds, and a means for stakeholders to propose and claim expenditures (aka spends). The chain will need to provide a method to approve spends (e.g. public referendum) and a method for collecting funds (e.g. inflation, fees).

By way of example, stakeholders could vote to fund the Treasury with a portion of the block reward and use the funds to pay developers.

§Terminology

  • Proposal: A suggestion to allocate funds from the pot to a beneficiary.
  • Beneficiary: An account who will receive the funds from a proposal iff the proposal is approved.
  • Pot: Unspent funds accumulated by the treasury pallet.
  • Spend An approved proposal for transferring a specific amount of funds to a designated beneficiary.

§Example

  1. Multiple local spends approved by spend origins and received by a beneficiary.

#[test]
fn spend_local_origin_works() {
	ExtBuilder::default().build().execute_with(|| {
		// Check that accumulate works when we have Some value in Dummy already.
		Balances::make_free_balance_be(&Treasury::account_id(), 101);
		// approve spend of some amount to beneficiary `6`.
		assert_ok!(Treasury::spend_local(RuntimeOrigin::signed(10), 5, 6));
		assert_ok!(Treasury::spend_local(RuntimeOrigin::signed(10), 5, 6));
		assert_ok!(Treasury::spend_local(RuntimeOrigin::signed(10), 5, 6));
		assert_ok!(Treasury::spend_local(RuntimeOrigin::signed(10), 5, 6));
		assert_ok!(Treasury::spend_local(RuntimeOrigin::signed(11), 10, 6));
		assert_ok!(Treasury::spend_local(RuntimeOrigin::signed(12), 20, 6));
		assert_ok!(Treasury::spend_local(RuntimeOrigin::signed(13), 50, 6));
		// free balance of `6` is zero, spend period has not passed.
		<Treasury as OnInitialize<u64>>::on_initialize(1);
		assert_eq!(Balances::free_balance(6), 0);
		// free balance of `6` is `100`, spend period has passed.
		<Treasury as OnInitialize<u64>>::on_initialize(2);
		assert_eq!(Balances::free_balance(6), 100);
		// `100` spent, `1` burned.
		assert_eq!(Treasury::pot(), 0);
	});
}
  1. Approve a spend of some asset kind and claim it.
ⓘ
#[test]
fn spend_payout_works() {
	ExtBuilder::default().build().execute_with(|| {
		System::set_block_number(1);
		// approve a `2` coins spend of asset `1` to beneficiary `6`, the spend valid from now.
		assert_ok!(Treasury::spend(RuntimeOrigin::signed(10), Box::new(1), 2, Box::new(6), None));
		// payout the spend.
		assert_ok!(Treasury::payout(RuntimeOrigin::signed(1), 0));
		// beneficiary received `2` coins of asset `1`.
		assert_eq!(paid(6, 1), 2);
		assert_eq!(SpendCount::<Test, _>::get(), 1);
		let payment_id = get_payment_id(0).expect("no payment attempt");
		System::assert_last_event(Event::<Test, _>::Paid { index: 0, payment_id }.into());
		set_status(payment_id, PaymentStatus::Success);
		// the payment succeed.
		assert_ok!(Treasury::check_status(RuntimeOrigin::signed(1), 0));
		System::assert_last_event(Event::<Test, _>::SpendProcessed { index: 0 }.into());
		// cannot payout the same spend twice.
		assert_noop!(Treasury::payout(RuntimeOrigin::signed(1), 0), Error::<Test, _>::InvalidIndex);
	});
}

§Pallet API

See the pallet module for more information about the interfaces this pallet exposes, including its configuration trait, dispatchables, storage items, events and errors.

§Low Level / Implementation Details

Spends can be initiated using either the spend_local or spend dispatchable. The spend_local dispatchable enables the creation of spends using the native currency of the chain, utilizing the funds stored in the pot. These spends are automatically paid out every pallet::Config::SpendPeriod. On the other hand, the spend dispatchable allows spending of any asset kind managed by the treasury, with payment facilitated by a designated pallet::Config::Paymaster. To claim these spends, the payout dispatchable should be called within some temporal bounds, starting from the moment they become valid and within one pallet::Config::PayoutPeriod.
