# Treasurer

### Description <a href="#description" id="description"></a>

The Treasurer has a fiduciary responsibility to protect assets that are owned by the DHO but not directly governed by the members (such as assets on another blockchain or in a bank account).&#x20;

When the DHO votes to approve transactions that are not native to the Hypha document graph or blockchain, treasurers are responsible for executing those transactions securely and accurately. The most important skills for a treasurer are contentiousness, attention to detail, respect for security, and a deep commitment to executing the will of the DHO with objective integrity.

The most common duty is executing signing (approving) transactions on Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains as part of semi-monthly redemption procedures. In this duty, treasurers ensure the right amounts are transferred to the right members based on their redemption requests. All procedures are multi-signature, meaning it takes 3 of 5 treasurers to approve any transactions, but this does not dilute the importance of security.

Serving in Treasury is a great fit for members with a financial acumen, and also for members desiring to learn more about blockchain, Bitcoin, or cryptography. It does not require technical skills, but treasurers are exposed to and have the opportunity to learn exciting, bleeding edge technologies.

### Powers, Perks, and Possibilities <a href="#powers-perks-and-possibilities" id="powers-perks-and-possibilities"></a>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://explore.joinseeds.earth/libraries-and-templates/badge-templates-and-library-open-library/foundational-badges/treasurer.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
