Automated Treasury Guard (Treasury Agent)

SynArc introduces the Automated Treasury Guard, a specialized autonomous agent designed to protect workspace assets, optimize yield on idle capital, manage payouts, and handle secure rebalancing across multiple networks.

Overview

Traditional community treasuries often face idle capital, manual payment workflows, operational risk, and vulnerable bridging mechanics. The Automated Treasury Guard operates under community-approved rules to solve these issues autonomously:

Auto Rebalancing: Moves stablecoins across chains via native Circle CCTP to access higher-yield allocations.
Auto Payments: Processes scheduled team payrolls, creator payouts, and milestone releases.
Auto Yield Farming: Stakes or provides liquidity in conservative DeFi vaults (like Aave or Morpho) when capital sits idle.
Risk Monitoring & Emergency Auto-Pause: Continuously checks reserves for low liquidity, large outflows, and inactivity, executing on-chain pauses if necessary.
Multi-Chain Auto Sweep: Programmatically collects incoming stablecoins from bridges and sweeps them directly into the DAO treasury.

Core Capabilities

1. Auto Rebalancing (via Circle CCTP) — `LIVE`

When a community yield rebalance proposal is approved, or threshold rules are met on-chain, the agent initiates a bidirectional stablecoin transfer. By calling Circle's Native Burn-and-Mint interface, it avoids risky wrapper tokens and ensures slippage-free stablecoin mobility between Arc Testnet and Sepolia.

2. Auto Payments (Scheduled & Milestone) — `LIVE`

Creators and DAO teams can schedule recurring stablecoin payments (e.g. weekly creator payouts, monthly team payroll) or queue milestone-based payouts directly from the dashboard:

Security Timelock: To protect community capital, all queued payments are subject to a 24-hour timelock delay on-chain.
Autonomous Execution: Once the timelock countdown finishes, the agent executes the payout transaction.

3. Risk Monitoring & Emergency Pause — `LIVE`

The agent constantly evaluates four risk metrics to assign a real-time Risk Score (0–100):

Low Liquidity: Triggered when the primary asset balance falls below safe operating levels.
Large Outflow: Flags when single transfers exceed 80% of total reserves.
Emergency Stop: Instantly triggers if the owner/community commands an on-chain pause.
Inactivity: Triggers if the agent has not completed rule checks for more than 6 hours.

4. Auto Yield Farming — `COMING SOON`

To prevent stablecoins from sitting idle and losing value, the agent stakes capital in verified DeFi integrations:

Aave USDC Strategy: Target yield of 3.2% APY.
Compound Strategy: Target yield of 2.9% APY.
Morpho Blue Strategy: Target yield of 4.1% APY.

5. Multi-Chain Auto Sweep — `COMING SOON`

Instead of manual collections, this feature sweeps bridged assets across Ethereum Mainnet, Base, and Arbitrum directly into the primary DAO treasury vault automatically.

Two-Treasury Architecture & Governance Gating

To maximize security while maintaining high operational mobility, SynArc implements a Two-Treasury Architecture:

Governance Treasury (Timelocked): Holds the bulk of DAO funds. Any withdrawal or allocation from this treasury requires a standard governance proposal, community vote, and a mandatory 24-hour timelock delay.
Agent Operating Treasury (Fast-Access): A dedicated, smaller treasury used by the Treasury Agent to perform swift rebalances and operations. The agent contract holds withdrawal and execution rights here to respond immediately to changing yields or risk parameters.

Funding Flow (Governance-Gated)

To fund the Agent Operating Treasury:

A user submits a Fund Agent Treasury proposal via the dashboard, specifying the amount of USDC to allocate.
The proposal is voted on by sARC token holders.
Once approved, the proposal is queued in the Governance Treasury's withdrawal queue.
After the 24-hour timelock expires, the proposal is executed, transferring the USDC to the Agent Operating Treasury.
Anyone can then call the syncBalance() function on the Agent Operating Treasury to update its internal balance state, allowing the agent to begin utilizing the newly allocated capital.

Deep Circle Integrations

The Automated Treasury Guard incorporates three key pillars of safe stablecoin management:

1. Direct Cross-Chain Bridge

Used for bidirectional stablecoin rebalancing. Programmatic transfers use depositForBurn on Arc Testnet, poll Circle's Iris API, and mint native USDC on the destination chain without relying on wrapper contracts or external liquidity providers.

2. Smart Account Identity

The guard operates under an ERC-8004 identity registered on the Arc Testnet registry at 0x8004A.... This registry ties the guard's code, ownership, and reputation index (vouched or disavowed by community members) directly to the blockchain. Asset keys are held securely in a modular multisig vault, while execution keys are delegated to the guard's automation scripts.

3. Micro-gas Payments

Every inference request and transaction analysis run by the guard is paid for using micro-cent USDC transfers as small as $0.01. This ensures that automated operations pay for their own computational gas and API costs, preventing treasury drain.

Programmatic Developer API & Cron Scheduling

SynArc’s Treasury Agent is executed programmatically on a 5-minute recurring schedule via cron-job.org rather than native Vercel crons (due to Hobby tier limitations).

1. Run Agent Scan

Method: POST / GET
Endpoint: https://www.synarcdao.xyz/api/agent/run
Headers:
x-cron-secret: <CRON_SECRET> (shared-secret authentication header)
Payload: {} (optional)
Description: Triggers the agent's main decision cycle. The agent checks active rules, parses on-chain state, votes on active proposals, and submits transactions/proposals on-chain.

#### Execution Response Shape

The endpoint returns a structured JSON payload detailing the current agent state, treasury balances, and the specific action evaluated during this tick:
