TempleDAO

TempleDAO is a decentralized organization operating on Ethereum that describes itself as a DeFi incubator and infrastructure network with a large treasury. The community aims to use its treasury assets to support emerging DeFi projects and to form partnerships with them. Treasury positions are spread across different DeFi protocols.

TEMPLE is the TempleDAO token on Ethereum, and its value is linked to the DAO treasury; the project expresses this link through the concept of a Treasury Price Index. The ecosystem includes a native lending market called TLC, where users can borrow against TEMPLE as collateral and where the collateral value is tied to this index price. Tools have also been developed such as Spice Bazaar, where treasury assets are managed through auctions, and RAMOS, which automates liquidity management.

Being a treasury-backed token does not mean that the TEMPLE price will stay equal to the index value. The TempleDAO price on Lzzo.com is taken from DefiLlama's US dollar reference data.
