💰 Product & Revenue Model
1️⃣LandDAO 1.0
Following initial capital formation, LandDAO’s focus will be on three key areas:
- Acquisition of initial land portfolios
- Improvement of lands
- Governance framework establishment
For the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) launch, LandDAO plans to acquire its first land portfolios in the following countries:
- Africa: Ghana, Kenya, Namibia, Rwanda
- Europe: Portugal, Spain, Scotland
Over the last 15 months, the LandDAO team has extensively visited these countries to view potential lands and build relationships with landowners, key stakeholders, traditional rulers, land surveyors, and lawyers.
While lands may not be purchased in all of these countries, they represent the most likely locations for the initial land acquisitions due to the unique opportunities they currently offer. Both residential and agricultural lands will be acquired for LandDAO 1.0.
2️⃣LandDAO 2.0
The core modules of the product will be released with LandDAO 2.0
- Land Tokenization Protocol
- On-Chain Land Representation Layer
- DAO Governance Expansion
- Solana Programs for Land-Backed NFT (RWA) Infrastructure
3️⃣LandDAO 3.0
The roadmap for LandDAO 3.0 will focus on:
- Scaling
- Expansion of LandDAO’s financial layer
After the LandDAO 2.0 MVP product-market fit is fully validated, the scaling phase will focus on acquiring more land in different countries to expand the total lands under the DAO's management. To finance the acquisition of larger land parcels, LandDAO plans to launch a series of dedicated land acquisition funds.
As part of this phase, LandDAO will expand its financial layer by introducing:
- Land Yield Distribution, enabling participants to earn from income generated by land assets
- Land-Backed Borrowing, allowing users to access liquidity using tokenized land as collateral
- Land Capital Pools, providing structured capital allocation across diversified land-backed assets
For scaling, the DAO plans to use a mix of equity (funds raised by the DAO) and crypto mortgage loans to leverage land purchases. Each purchase will be financed with at least 50% equity to mitigate risks.
💰Revenue Model
The main sources of revenue for LandDAO are:
- Net profits from the sale of land RWAs in primary transactions (50-100%)
- Secondary market royalties (1.5%)
