# The Treasury

YBX Treasury

The Treasury plays a very important role in **YieldBox Auto-Staking Protocol.** It provides three extremely critical functions for the growth and sustainability of $YBX.

The treasury functions as additional financial support for the RIF. This additional support can become important in the event of an extreme price drop of the $YBX token or unforeseen black-swan event. It helps to establish a floor value for the $YBX token.\
The treasury is also used to fund products services and projects that will expand and build up the YASAR use cases and ecosystem.

Additionally, the treasury provides funding for marketing $YBX.
