Understanding the Basics

Squads offers a comprehensive solution for managing onchain treasuries powered by Solana’s performance, speed, and low transaction costs. Squads has many advantages over traditional offchain or centralized solutions:

  • Seamless user experience: Squads offers a platform tailored to enterprise needs, integrating a wide range of operations into a single, intuitive interface.

  • Security: Squads is built on top of , Solana's smart account standard securing $10+ billion in value and trusted by Solana’s leading teams, applications, and institutions. Squads Protocol provides the infrastructure for secure self-custody and programmatic onchain asset management.

  • Transparency: Onchain transactions provide key stakeholders with enhanced visibility and tracking of a business's treasury activity. This transparency is achieved through an immutable history of multi-signature approvals for asset management, ensuring relevant data is accessible and presented in a clear, human-readable format.

Squads powers onchain operations for over 250 teams in the ecosystem, including Jupiter, Jito, Pyth, Kamino, Backpack, Helius, Drift, and Tensor. Every Squad is a programmable multisig wallet built on Squads Protocol’s smart account technology, which enables collective management of onchain funds, streamlining asset management and eliminating single points of failure.

Using Squads for Your Treasury

Squads provides an intuitive interface to easily manage your assets and perform treasury operations. These assets can be:

  • Funds raised from investors/the public;

  • Fees generated by the protocol/project;

  • Grants received;

  • Liquidity mining rewards as a marketing expense;

  • Investor funds and token vesting;

  • And any onchain liquid assets, such as NFTs, held by the company.

Executing transactions

These operations are streamlined with:

  • Permissions: Define custom roles and transaction approval criteria for each multisig member.

  • Payments: “Recipients” feature to create, track, and manage recurring payments—eliminating manual entry and saving teams valuable time.

  • Sub-accounts: Create separate vaults to efficiently manage various treasury assets, including payroll, marketing expenses, and NFT holdings.

  • Fee Relayer: Enable the multisig to cover network fees for members interacting with the Squad, providing a gasless experience from their perspective.

Compliance

  • Set up an account on Integral

  • Copy and paste your Squad Vault address into the platform

  • Get access to automated bookkeeping, data, real-time treasury insights, and policies to meet your compliance and accounting requirements

Staking

Staking is the easiest way to earn a yield on your SOL. Enterprises can stake their SOL from the Squads app using:

  • liquid staking providers (fuseSOL, Jito, Marinade, SolBlaze, marginfi);

In-app Trading

Treasury Operations using SquadsX

Token Vesting

Yield Aggregators

Yield aggregators are beneficial for users looking for platforms that automate yield optimization, saving time and potentially enhancing profits.

SquadsX enables users to connect their multsig with these yield aggregators like:

Treasury Yields and Diversified Stables

The current landscape of stablecoin offerings on Solana is evolving quickly, offering projects innovative use cases beyond simple "wrapped" USD. Projects looking to diversify their stables with more productive, non-volatile solutions can use SquadsX to access these innovative solutions.

  • You can also have other alternate stables such as EUROe and USDY in your Squads multisig to diversify your stable assets while earning additional yield.
