If you’d like to know why the treasury invest and what that means for PERC, you’ve come to the right place. First we’ll explain what how the treasury is investing, then what the means for PERC.

What the treasury invests in:

▶️ Active: Market neutral segment

Putting treasury funds to work in a low-risk environment is critical to giving Perion great runway and the funds to win long-term. The market neutral segment aims to generate returns via:

• Stablecoin yield farming
• Over-collateralised lending
• Hedged funding rates on derivates DEXs

⏸️ Paused: Venture segment

The venture segment historically had a goal of generating returns for the treasury by backing incredible founders and studios building in the web3 gaming sector.

Perion has followed a very measured approach in its ventures strategy, only backing projects that are aligned with our Values of using blockchain to level up gaming and building with a gamer-first mentality. This led us to only making a select few investments, as these values have been noticeably rare in the blockchain gaming sector to date.

Aside from the potential to generating high returns, the venture segment has many additional benefits that help Perion in its mission:

• Connections and partnerships: Participating in funding incredible gaming projects has given Perion many important connections with tier 1 game developers, platforms and investors. Although Perion is not actively investing, we actively continue to build our network. These connections benefit everything Perion does long-term through partnerships, business opportunity and network effects.
• Knowledge: Investing at the bleeding edge of gaming has kept Perion contributors at the forefront of the latest innovations in the Web3 gaming sector. The value of knowledge comes back to our reason for existing: To create value at the intersection of blockchain and gaming.

Perion has paused VC investments to focus on our products. The reasoning is quite simple: Shipping great products gives the greatest net gain to PERC holders by providing further utility around the PERC token.
