TREASURY / ELPIS
Investments & recall
Deploying only safe-to-deploy capital into a recallable venue, and pulling it back before it is needed.
Safe to deploy
Not all treasury money is spare. Elpis computes what may be deployed as:
- total assets minus committed obligations minus reserve floors minus anything needed within the investment horizon (default 7 days).
- Only pools marked
investablecontribute — Reserve and Tax never do. - An investment above
daily_autonomous_invest_limitneeds a person.
Recall
Recalling capital is an internal move — nothing leaves the treasury — so it is classified R1 and may run unattended. Two paths trigger it:
| Trigger | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| A payment exceeds available liquid | Recall exactly the shortfall, then retry the payment. |
| An obligation needs funding | Recall before settlement, never after. |
| An operator asks | Explicit recall of an amount or everything. |
Recalling is what makes “invested” different from “spent”: the money is elsewhere but still under treasury control, which is why an autonomous agent may move it.
The venue
Capital is deployed to a recallable venue address recorded per organization. The venue is a settlement target, not a third party Elpis trusts — if it cannot be recalled, Elpis does not classify the deployment as recoverable, and it will not run it unattended.
Classification
| Action | Class | Autonomy |
|---|---|---|
| Deploy to the venue | R3 or better, per the venue | Subject to the invest limit |
| Recall from the venue | R1 | Unattended |
| Payment funded by recall | R2 (escrowed) | Within limits |
