## Arcadia Foundry

Arcadia Foundry is a tailor-made solution for protocols looking to deploy and manage onchain liquidity.

Acting as a trustless market maker, Foundry serves two core use cases:

* [**Protocol Owned Liquidity**](/users/protocols.md)**:** Automate liquidity management for your native token: rebalancing, bootstrapping, buybacks, and custom distribution strategies.
* [**Treasury Liquidity Management**](/foundry-intro/foundry-treasury.md)**:** Put idle treasury assets to work by providing liquidity in established pairs like WETH/USDC or WETH/wstETH, earning yield while deepening ecosystem liquidity.

Both are powered by the same automation infrastructure, non-custodial security model, and DAO/multi-sig compatibility.
