# Treasury

The Treasury is a core component of the RULE ecosystem. It is used to:

\- Build up the ecosystem\
\- Invest in worthy projects to provide additional returns for [stakers](liquid-staking)\
\- Perform [buybacks](../tokenomics/buybacks)

Investment and partnership decision are to be approved by the [DAO](rule-dao) - that is, by you!

Tokens in the Treasury are subject to a strict Vesting Schedule to cancel any risk of a "rug pull": only 20% are unlocked at TGE, while the rest is unlocked over the course of 12 months.
