DAO treasuries are on-chain payment paths - and the operators behind them carry sanctions exposure. What DAOs actually need to screen.
DAO treasuries move money on-chain, often with an agent or automated signer. The enforcement posture is clear: the prohibition follows the transaction, not the org chart.
A treasury that pays a sanctioned wallet - or receives from one - has executed a prohibited transaction. The EtherDelta precedent put DeFi shapes on notice; the DAO is the treasury-shaped version of the same surface.

Treasury outflows (vendor payments, grants, contributor compensation), inflows (donations, mints), and counterparty wallets - the same three-surface screen as any payment path.
Screen before every treasury transaction, fail closed, log everything. The blockchain checklist and the DAO treasury scenario cover the mechanics.
Decentralization does not dissolve liability - the operators and signers remain in scope. Screening is the layer that makes a treasury defensible.
