Treasury Contract API - Nexis Network

Overview

The Treasury contract manages the economic pools of the Nexis Network. It receives inflows from agent slashing and early withdrawal penalties, distributes them across three pools (treasury, insurance, rewards), and enables authorized distribution of rewards to agents. Contract Address (Testnet): 0x9fE46736679d2D9a65F0992F2272dE9f3c7fa6e0 Key Features:

Three-pool system: Treasury, Insurance, Rewards
Configurable distribution ratios
Handles slashed stakes and early exit penalties
Reward distribution to agents with REWARDS_ROLE authorization
Pool withdrawal with WITHDRAW_ROLE authorization
Multi-asset support (ETH and ERC20 tokens)
Upgradeable UUPS proxy pattern

Contract Constants

// Roles
bytes32 public constant REWARDS_ROLE = keccak256("REWARDS_ROLE");
bytes32 public constant WITHDRAW_ROLE = keccak256("WITHDRAW_ROLE");
bytes32 public constant INFLOW_ROLE = keccak256("INFLOW_ROLE");

// Constants
uint16 internal constant BPS_DENOMINATOR = 10_000; // 100% = 10,000 basis points
address internal constant ETH_ASSET = address(0);

Data Structures

DistributionConfig

struct DistributionConfig {
    uint16 treasuryBps;   // Treasury share in basis points (0-10000)
    uint16 insuranceBps;  // Insurance share in basis points
    uint16 rewardsBps;    // Rewards share in basis points
}
// Note: treasuryBps + insuranceBps + rewardsBps must equal 10,000

Default Distribution:

Treasury: 40% (4,000 bps)
Insurance: 30% (3,000 bps)
Rewards: 30% (3,000 bps)

PoolBalances

struct PoolBalances {
    uint256 treasury;   // Treasury pool balance
    uint256 insurance;  // Insurance pool balance
    uint256 rewards;    // Rewards pool balance
}

Pool Management

poolBalances

Query pool balances for a specific asset.

asset

address

required

console.log("ETH Pool Balances:");
console.log("  Treasury:", ethers.formatEther(ethBalances.treasury), "ETH");
console.log("  Insurance:", ethers.formatEther(ethBalances.insurance), "ETH");
console.log("  Rewards:", ethers.formatEther(ethBalances.rewards), "ETH");

// Query ERC20 token pool balances
const usdcAddress = "0x...";
const usdcBalances = await treasury.poolBalances(usdcAddress);

console.log("\nUSDC Pool Balances:");
console.log("  Treasury:", ethers.formatUnits(usdcBalances.treasury, 6), "USDC");
console.log("  Insurance:", ethers.formatUnits(usdcBalances.insurance, 6), "USDC");
console.log("  Rewards:", ethers.formatUnits(usdcBalances.rewards, 6), "USDC");

rewardsBalance

Query available rewards balance for a specific asset.

asset

address

required

Returns:

uint256 - Available rewards balance

Example:

JavaScript

const rewardsETH = await treasury.rewardsBalance(ethers.ZeroAddress);
console.log("Available rewards:", ethers.formatEther(rewardsETH), "ETH");

Solidity

function rewardsBalance(address asset) external view returns (uint256);

Inflow Handling

These methods are called automatically by the Agents contract when stakes are slashed or early exit penalties are collected.

handleSlash

Process slashed stake from an agent. Only callable by addresses with INFLOW_ROLE (typically the Agents contract).

agentId

uint256

required

Agent ID that was slashed

asset

address

required

Asset address

amount

uint256

required

Amount slashed

msg.value

uint256

For ETH, must equal amount; for ERC20, must be 0

Distribution: Splits amount according to configured distribution ratios across three pools. Events Emitted:

event SlashHandled(
    uint256 indexed agentId,
    address indexed asset,
    uint256 amount,
    uint256 treasuryShare,
    uint256 insuranceShare,
    uint256 rewardsShare
);

Example:

JavaScript

// This is typically called by Agents contract, not directly
// But can be called by any address with INFLOW_ROLE

// For ETH
await treasury.handleSlash(
  agentId,
  ethers.ZeroAddress,
  ethers.parseEther("1.0"),
  { value: ethers.parseEther("1.0") }
);

// For ERC20 (token must be transferred first)
const token = new ethers.Contract(tokenAddress, erc20ABI, signer);
await token.transfer(treasuryAddress, amount);
await treasury.handleSlash(agentId, tokenAddress, amount);

Solidity

function handleSlash(

Complete Example: Reward Distribution Campaign

Here’s a complete example of distributing rewards to top-performing agents:

import { ethers } from 'ethers';

// Setup
const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider('https://testnet-rpc.nex-t1.ai');
const rewardsManager = new ethers.Wallet(privateKey, provider);

const treasuryAddress = '0x9fE46736679d2D9a65F0992F2272dE9f3c7fa6e0';
const agentsAddress = '0x5FbDB2315678afecb367f032d93F642f64180aa3';

const treasury = new ethers.Contract(treasuryAddress, treasuryABI, rewardsManager);
const agents = new ethers.Contract(agentsAddress, agentsABI, rewardsManager);

// ========================================
// Step 1: Check available rewards
// ========================================
console.log("Step 1: Checking available rewards...");

const availableRewards = await treasury.rewardsBalance(ethers.ZeroAddress);
console.log("Available ETH rewards:", ethers.formatEther(availableRewards));

if (availableRewards < ethers.parseEther("10.0")) {
  console.log("Insufficient rewards, depositing more...");
  await treasury.recordRewardDeposit(
    ethers.ZeroAddress,
    ethers.parseEther("50.0"),
    { value: ethers.parseEther("50.0") }

}

// ========================================
// Step 2: Get top agents by reputation
// ========================================
console.log("\nStep 2: Identifying top agents...");

// Sort by reputation
const topAgents = agentList
  .sort((a, b) => Number(b.weightedReputation) - Number(a.weightedReputation))
  .slice(0, 10);

console.log("Top 10 agents by reputation:");
topAgents.forEach((agent, i) => {
  console.log(`  ${i + 1}. Agent ${agent.agentId} - Reputation: ${agent.weightedReputation}`);
});

// ========================================
// Step 3: Calculate reward distribution
// ========================================
console.log("\nStep 3: Calculating rewards...");

const totalRewardPool = ethers.parseEther("10.0"); // 10 ETH total
const reputationSum = topAgents.reduce((sum, agent) =>
  sum + Number(agent.weightedReputation), 0
);

const distributions = topAgents.map(agent => ({
  agentId: agent.agentId,
  owner: agent.owner,
  reputation: agent.weightedReputation,
  reward: (totalRewardPool * BigInt(agent.weightedReputation)) / BigInt(reputationSum)
}));

// ========================================
// Step 4: Distribute rewards
// ========================================
console.log("\nStep 4: Distributing rewards...");

for (const dist of distributions) {
  console.log(`\nDistributing to agent ${dist.agentId}...`);
  console.log(`  Owner: ${dist.owner}`);
  console.log(`  Reputation: ${dist.reputation}`);
  console.log(`  Reward: ${ethers.formatEther(dist.reward)} ETH`);

  const tx = await treasury.distributeReward(
    dist.agentId,
    ethers.ZeroAddress,
    dist.reward,
    ethers.ZeroAddress, // Send to agent owner
    `Q1 2024 Performance Reward - Top 10 by reputation`
  );

  await tx.wait();
  console.log(`  ✓ Distributed!`);
}

// ========================================
// Step 5: Verify final balances
// ========================================
console.log("\n\nStep 5: Verifying final state...");

const finalRewards = await treasury.rewardsBalance(ethers.ZeroAddress);
console.log("Remaining rewards:", ethers.formatEther(finalRewards), "ETH");

const pools = await treasury.poolBalances(ethers.ZeroAddress);

Treasury Economics

Pool Purpose

Treasury Pool

Protocol development, operations, grants, and strategic initiatives

Insurance Pool

Coverage for black swan events, protocol bugs, or agent failures

Rewards Pool

Performance incentives, bounties, and community rewards

Inflow Sources

Source	Default Distribution	Notes
Slashed Stakes	40% / 30% / 30%	From agent misbehavior
Early Exit Penalties	40% / 30% / 30%	From early withdrawals
Direct Deposits	0% / 0% / 100%	Goes entirely to rewards
Task Refunds	0% / 0% / 100%	Disputed tasks

Best Practices

Distribution Ratios

Adjust based on protocol needs and growth stage
Early stage: Higher rewards % for agent adoption
Mature stage: Higher treasury % for sustainability
Always maintain adequate insurance reserves

Reward Distribution

Document clear criteria for rewards
Use transparent, objective metrics (reputation, tasks completed)
Consider time-based campaigns (monthly, quarterly)
Batch distributions to save gas costs

Pool Management

Monitor pool balances regularly
Set thresholds for pool withdrawals
Use multi-sig for WITHDRAW_ROLE
Document all withdrawal purposes

Integration with Other Contracts

The Treasury contract is called by:

Agents Contract:
- handleSlash() - When stakes are slashed
- handleEarlyExitPenalty() - When early withdrawals occur
Tasks Contract:
- recordRewardDeposit() - When disputed tasks are resolved without refund
External Contributors:
- recordRewardDeposit() - For direct reward contributions
