The Investigative Foundation launches Trench Treasury program
The Investigative ecosystem has officially launched a new incentive program called Trench Treasury, and its first reward distribution work has now started. The plan was announced on October 5, 2026 and officially launched the next day, with the first batch of funds distributed to the communities behind Sprout (@sproutsomefun) and RunUp (@runupdotfun).
The Trench Treasury is designed to directly support high-quality projects in the Impressive ecosystem that create value for the $INJ token and the wider community. The program has two core missions: one is to support teams building projects with $INJ as the core; and the other is to develop reward mechanisms for supporters of ecosystem projects.
The name pays special tribute to grassroots culture. Aggressive defines a "trench" as where new users flock in and early projects start. The foundation emphasized that this treasury is different from traditional grant projects. Traditional grants tend to focus on funding early ideas and putting hope in the future, while Trench Treasury focuses on projects that have shown signs of sustainability and user groups that remain active over long-term interactions.
Why Sprout and RunUp were preferred
There is a clear reason why Sprout and RunUp were selected as the first beneficiaries: both projects are believed to play a key role in increasing user engagement and attracting new developers to the Impressive network. Among them, Sprout allows users to issue tokens, while RunUp integrates Memecoins and stock perpetual contracts on the same network.
For subsequent eligible projects, Aggressive listed five evaluation parameters:
- is built with $INJ as the core;
- holders are widely distributed and grow naturally;
- have real liquidity and continuously active community activities;
- are launched fairly, and the team reserve share is not large;
- Have innovative technology or value capture mechanisms.
Currently, the Aggressive Foundation has not disclosed the overall size of the Trench Treasury, the specific incentive amounts distributed to Strout and RunUp, nor the formal application process of other teams. It is reported that the "Trench Treasury" is the first of many initiatives planned by the foundation.
