How Do DAOs Generate Revenue to Fund Their Treasury?

DAOs generate revenue through various methods depending on their purpose. Many DeFi (Decentralized Finance) DAOs earn revenue from fees generated by their protocol, such as transaction fees, swap fees, or interest on loans.

Other DAOs may sell their native tokens to investors during a funding round. Investment DAOs generate returns from the assets they manage.

Additionally, some DAOs create and sell products or services, with the profits flowing back to the treasury. These revenue streams are used to fund operations, reward contributors, and grow the ecosystem.
