#102: Navigating Web3 Treasury with Rohit Goel from Protocol Labs

Treasury management is one of the most foundational, and least standardized functions in web3.

As organizations operate across fiat, stablecoins, and native tokens, treasury teams are no longer just tracking balances. They’re responsible for protecting liquidity, managing financial risk, designing governance and internal controls, and ensuring the organization can operate and survive long-term.

Rohit Goel, Treasurer at Protocol Labs, the creators of Filecoin and IPFS, joins us to share practical frameworks and hard-earned lessons on web3 treasury management.
