& Vision

The Future of Community-Owned Development

Built By DAO is redefining what it means to own, build, and sustain communities. We believe that housing is just the starting point. Our mission is to create a self-sustaining, community-driven economy that extends beyond homes to include business spaces, public infrastructure, and shared amenities—all governed by the people who live and work there.

Our Mission

Built By DAO exists to redefine ownership and economic resilience by giving individuals and communities the power to shape their future. Our model is built on three core principles:

1. Equitable Housing & Property Ownership – Members earn equity through rent payments and contributions, building long-term stability.

2. Decentralized & Transparent Governance – All major decisions are made collectively through community-driven processes.

3. Sustainable, Community-Led Development – The DAO invests in housing, businesses, and public spaces that strengthen the local economy.

We believe that the current housing and real estate models favor investors and developers at the expense of renters and communities. Built By DAO flips this structure, allowing renters and contributors to build equity while collectively shaping the development of their neighborhoods.

Our Vision

We envision a world where housing and economic infrastructure are owned and governed by the people who rely on them. Instead of communities being dictated by corporations and developers, Built By DAO enables collective investment and shared prosperity.

Our long-term vision includes:

• A Global Network of DAO-Owned Properties – Housing, businesses, and public spaces that are owned and operated by the community.

• Economic Freedom through Shared Ownership – Renters become owners, workers become stakeholders, and contributors build lasting value.

• A Scalable Model for Regenerative Development – A decentralized system that can be replicated in communities worldwide, ensuring long-term sustainability and resilience.

Why This Matters

The traditional housing and commercial real estate systems fail to serve the needs of communities. Built By DAO offers a new model where people own the spaces they inhabit and participate in decisions about their future.

Key Problems We Solve:

• Housing affordability – By converting rent into equity, Built By DAO offers a path to ownership for renters.

• Displacement & gentrification – Instead of being pushed out, members collectively own and shape the development of their communities.

• Lack of financial inclusion – Built By DAO provides opportunities for individuals to invest in their own neighborhoods, regardless of income level.

• Developer-driven decisions – Rather than developers deciding what gets built, the community collaborates to determine priorities.

Our Commitment to the Future

Built By DAO is not just about housing—it’s about creating a new economic infrastructure where communities control their own development. Through governance, financial innovation, and sustainable growth, we are creating a movement that will change how communities are built, owned, and sustained.
