# Treasury Usage Design

* We are committed to using ETH as the currency for land parcel network fees and values. This means our treasury will generate ETH (or L2 equivalent) that can be used to fund public goods, but the funding of public goods doesn't necessarily have to be denominated in ETH.
    * We are also likely to move to flow-based network fee payments rather than deposits which must be considered in our final design.
* Depending on the use case, we might need additional functionality that ETH doesn't offer or have other incentives (i.e., tokenomics) to utilize a "community currency" backed by the treasury's ETH.
* To assess the technical and UX trade-offs, we want to walk through several use cases for treasury fund usage to understand what the best tools/currencies are to accomplish our goals.
    * We aren't going to add a GEO token just to add a token. There needs to be a reason that we add one.
* Use Case #1 - Cadastre
