In crypto, the spotlight is often on the engineering or business development teams. But as the events of 2022 have shown, neglecting an organization's financial plumbing has led to the spectacular implosion of key industry players.

Poor crypto treasury management practices, and improper tooling can have catastrophic consequences. From using Slack emojis to approve corporate expenses, not keeping a registry of employees on payroll, or having zero hedge against token prices going south because we are in a “supercycle”.

Money is to organizations, what blood is to our bodies. Whether your organization is a DAO, Foundation, or dApp builder, good crypto treasury management is critical to staying alive and healthy.
