# Compound Protocol Treasury

The Treasury plays a very important role in Compound Coin’s protocol. It provides three extremely critical functions for the growth and sustainability of Compound Coin.

The treasury functions as additional financial support for the Compound Coin. This additional support can become important in the event of an extreme price drop of the Compound Coin token. It helps to create a floor value for the Compound Coin token.

The treasury is also used to fund new Compound Coin products, services, and projects that will expand and build up the Compound Coin use cases and Compound Coin economy.

Most importantly, the treasury provides funding for marketing Compound Coin.
