The DeFi Collective - First Year Financial Report(Oct2023 - Oct2024)
The Collective has been profitable and operating fully onchain since its inception: good for the Ants, as it streamlines the accounting process. While the Collective is a non-profit Swiss-based association, it has revenues and expenses, as a regular business would. Since the treasury is one of the main sources of impact it has to support the most resilient DeFi protocols, expenses are kept in check and revenues maximized, as much as possible while remaining mission-aligned, to generate a surplus (more on this below).

The DeFi Collective - August 2024 Report
Welcome to the Collectives’ August impact and treasury report. Driven by a huge increase in mainnet revenues, thanks to the market finally recognizing DYAD’s value as an innovative and capital-efficient CDP protocol, August saw the Collective generate its second top-month in terms of revenues and the best month ever in terms of earnings. The Collective’s focus on the mainnet DYAD position came just in time as L2 revenues cooled off over the month.

The DeFi Collective - June 2024 Report
Welcome to the Collective’s June impact and treasury report. As expected, the Collective’s overall revenues continued to move lock-step with the market and contracted compared to May. However, with expenses also down, the surplus is preserved, which leaves the Collective in a comfortable position moving into July. The impact was also steady, with a renewed focus on mission-critical protocols established across all chains.

The DeFi Collective - May 2024 Report
Welcome to the Collective’s May impact and treasury report. Following the spike in March’s revenues and April’s expenses, May saw the Collective’s overall balance sheet settle to what we expect to be a baseline going forward, with revenues and expenses closing the month at more sustainable levels as the overall market consolidates sideways. Impact levels also increased with another mission-critical protocol onboarded into the colony, as shown below.

Kaskade campaign report
In our post announcing the Kaskade partnership, we made it clear that we were trying a new approach. We saw that opportunity as an experiment: a new innovative tool is being developed; let’s try it out and throw a small budget at it. If it works well, we might want to integrate it into our list of regular tools. If it did not, at least we would have learned something.
