Catenaa, Wednesday, April 30, 2025-Threshold Network has implemented a major restructuring of its decentralized autonomous organization, aiming to cut costs, streamline governance, and boost long-term growth.
The overhaul, outlined in Threshold Improvement Proposal 103, comes after tLabs assumed responsibility for tBTC development and broader network growth.
Under the changes, key DAO roles have been reduced and reassigned to a leaner team. A new Threshold Committee, composed of six paid part-time members and three volunteers, replaces the former Treasury Guild and Council, maintaining a 5-of-9 multisig governance model.
Five core contributor positions—covering tech, treasury, communications, project management and incentives—remain active with adjusted workloads and compensation.
tLabs will also oversee marketing and integrations, allowing the team to roll out new features and expand tBTC’s presence across decentralized finance protocols.
These steps are expected to position Threshold for stronger operational agility and scalability.
The restructuring has led to an estimated $1.1 million drop in annual governance costs, reducing the overall spend to $602,000. Coupled with $8.5 million in savings from ending tBTC staking rewards, the network is now projecting a sustainable path to profitability.
In a strategic shift, Threshold will reinvest in its native T token by eliminating treasury sales and initiating buybacks. The DAO recently acquired nearly 30 million T tokens using 5.8 tBTC.
Treasury holdings now include roughly $8-9 million in reserves and about 420 million T tokens in governance control, providing a two- to three-year runway.
The move aims to reinforce T’s market value while supporting ongoing development and expanding tBTC’s role in the DeFi ecosystem.
