# The DAO Battery ### What Is the DAO Battery? The DAO Battery is a collective fund generated by the node network. 10,000 DAO-owned nodes generate GULD daily to fund the game rewards, development, operations, marketing, and community programs. These 10,000 nodes do not have voting rights, governance voting is reserved for community-owned nodes. ### War Chest Goal Target: $10 million USD reserve for 5 years of development runway with a $2 million USD burn rate every year. ### Self-Sustaining Model Traditional games require constant external funding. AdventureWurld funds itself through the network. All revenue created flows back into the system through the DAO Battery in a model called "SmartFlow" ### SmartFlow All revenue generated by the ecosystem flows back into the ecosystem through SmartFlow funding the DAO Battery. ``` Revenue (node sales, avatar sales, in-game purchases) ↓ DAO Battery ↓ Platform Development + Operations + Community Programs ``` Every transaction is trackable on-chain. Revenue funds development rather than being extracted. {% hint style="info" %} The DAO Battery's 10,000 wallets are being deployed in stages. Not all wallets are live as of this document — deployment is ongoing. Active wallets are verifiable on-chain. Configurations and timing are subject to change as the network matures. {% endhint %} ### DAO Battery Addresses {% embed url="" %} --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
