Sending Transactions

How transactions work

Think of it like a joint bank account that requires multiple approvals on every check. No single person can move money alone.

1. Someone proposes a transaction (e.g., “Pay $500 to vendor”).
2. Other Approvers review and approve.
3. Once enough people approve, the transaction goes through.

Creating a transaction

Treasury spending starts with a Funding Decision, not a direct treasury action. Here's the full flow:

1. Open the Decisions tab and create a new Funding Decision.
2. Fill in the recipient's address, the amount, and a clear description of what the payment is for.
3. The Group votes. If the Decision passes, the treasury signing flow unlocks.
4. Approvers sign the transaction. Once enough sign off, it's ready to send.

Always include a clear description. Future you (and auditors) will thank you.

Approving a transaction

If you're an Approver, you'll see pending transactions that need your sign-off:

1. Review the transaction details carefully.
2. Verify the recipient's address — this is the most important check.
3. Check the amount and description.
4. Approve to sign, or reject if something looks wrong.

Transaction status

• Pending.

  Waiting for more signatures (e.g., “1 of 3 approvals”).

• Ready to execute.

  Enough approvals collected; can be sent.

• Executed.

  Transaction completed successfully.

• Rejected.

  Approvers declined the transaction.

Fees

EnDAO doesn't charge platform fees on treasury transactions. Small network fees still apply — the underlying payment network charges a fee to process each transaction. These are paid out of the treasury or by whoever submits the transaction depending on your setup.
