How it works
The team deposits a number of its project tokens into an Arrakis vault on a supported DEX and chain. Those tokens are deployed as single-sided concentrated liquidity across multiple positions around the spot price. Small positions sit close to the market for gradual conversion with minimal local price impact. Larger positions sit further out to capture upside price spikes. As the market trades through any position, that portion of tokens converts into the quote asset, which is removed from the pool and held in the Arrakis vault. The vault repositions automatically as spot moves, keeping the configured distribution intact, so each new market buy converts some project tokens into the quote asset. The team can pause, reconfigure, or withdraw at any time.Considerations
Pace is bounded by market activity.
Conversions only happen when the market trades through the positions. In a low-volume market, diversification takes longer. Configuring the strategy more aggressively converts faster but at lower average prices.
Limit orders follow market price.
Limit orders can be configured to follow the market price and fill at average prices on upside movements.
The position is visible onchain.
A sophisticated observer could read the position distribution from the vault. For most teams this is a positive: the community can verify exactly what the strategy is doing.
FAQ
Does the strategy negatively impact the token price?
Does the strategy negatively impact the token price?
No. The liquidity is passive: it sits in the AMM and converts only when the market trades through it, never by initiating sales. Position sizes near spot are kept small, so any single conversion is tiny relative to market volume. Larger positions further out capture upside spikes when they happen, locking in higher prices during rallies.
How long does diversification realistically take?
How long does diversification realistically take?
Diversification time depends on the configuration and organic trading volume. In a moderately liquid market, conversion plays out over weeks to a month, not days. More aggressive configurations fill faster at lower average prices, while slower configurations preserve prices but take longer.
What happens if the market drops mid-conversion?
What happens if the market drops mid-conversion?
Behavior during drawdowns is configurable. Some teams configure the strategy to follow spot down, converting small amounts at new lower price levels rather than waiting indefinitely. Average-priced conversion can outperform sitting on the sidelines if the market does not recover. Others configure the strategy to pause when prices fall below a certain threshold and resume only on recovery. The team can request configuration changes at any time.
How is this different from a CoW Protocol TWAP or an OTC?
How is this different from a CoW Protocol TWAP or an OTC?
A TWAP market-sells the tokens on a fixed schedule, taking whatever price the market gives at each interval and taking existing liquidity from the market. An OTC deal converts at a single negotiated discount to spot in a private transaction. Treasury Diversification is passive and adds liquidity instead: liquidity is deployed in an AMM and converts only when the market trades through it. It takes longer than a TWAP and is less predictable than an OTC sale, but avoids the price impact of market-selling and the discount of a private deal.
Can teams change the configuration after deployment?
Can teams change the configuration after deployment?
Yes. The position distribution, allocation targets, and pace are all reconfigurable. The vault is the team’s, and the strategy parameters can be adjusted as market conditions evolve.
