As you have noted in another post, it seems that the protocol income could cover the op cost.

In general I’d rather figured out what targets for farming / investing should be and then worked on how to source the funds. Again, doubly-cautios about op costs and fee spending

If so, we are not in a hurry to sell assets in the treasury for such purpose.

Another point is the strategy of op cost budget. Basically, we should make the budget based on growing demand, or cash flow income ability.

Since we are preparing for the bear market, that means the growth will be slower, or even decline, based on income ability seems to be more reasonable.
