🏦Treasury

The Treasury at Rome Finance is the foundation of the protocol’s economic design. It plays a central role in backing the value of $ROME, sustaining real yield distribution, and enabling long-term scalability — all while integrating gameplay revenue streams into the core of the DeFi layer.

Strategic Purpose and Capital Management

The Treasury is designed to maintain the financial health of the protocol while maximizing capital efficiency. It accumulates funds through several key sources:

• $ROME Sell Tax (10%) – A portion of every $ROME sale is redirected to the Treasury to grow reserves.

• Forge Mint Sales – Users minting $ROME via the Forge deposit $wS, which is added directly to the Treasury.

• Colosseum & Game Revenue – Entry fees from PvP battles, potion purchases, equipment sales, and other in-game transactions contribute directly to Treasury growth.

• Strategic DeFi Farming – Treasury assets are deployed across SonicLabs protocols (e.g., ShadowExchange, Pendle, Aave) to generate real, yield-bearing returns.

This multi-source funding model ensures the Treasury can fuel rewards and protocol incentives while maintaining long-term sustainability.

Proof of Burn: Treasury-Backed Value

Rome’s Proof of Burn system creates a direct link between protocol alignment and long-term value. When users burn $ROME, they receive $bROME, which unlocks:

• Access to The Temple (real yield earning)

• Discounted minting rights via The Forge

• Increased governance weight

This mechanism not only reduces circulating supply but also strengthens the Treasury:

• During price dips, the protocol incentivizes burning, reducing supply and adding scarcity

• During price pumps, users re-enter through discounted minting, depositing wS and increasing Treasury depth

Each action reinforces $ROME’s price dynamics and treasury-backed utility.

Treasury Farming, Game Revenue & Yield Redistribution

The Treasury doesn't just collect — it produces. Treasury assets are actively deployed into high-yield DeFi strategies across the SonicLabs ecosystem, while game-related activities add consistent inflows.

These revenues are used to farm accross SonicLabs and rewards are redistributed as follow:

• $bROME Holders – 40% share of real yield and protocol rewards through Temple staking
• LP Creators – 60% (boosted rewards) and deeper yield by creating and burning LPs with minted $ROME using the Market

This approach makes Rome’s game layer not just fun and competitive, but also an economic engine that feeds the protocol’s core.
