Contribution Opportunities
How Members Can Contribute
Built By DAO is built by its members, and contributions are essential to its success. Members participate through renting, sweat equity, investment, and governance involvement. Contributions are recognized and rewarded with Equity Tokens (EQTBLT), access tokens, and BLTBY, ensuring that every member gains value from their participation.
Governance participation is not tied to BLTBY tokens. Instead, voting power is determined by a combination of Equity Tokens (EQTBLT) and a corresponding NFT. Additionally, governance tokens are distributed on a per-proposal basis, depending on the type of proposal and the level of approval, delegation, and execution required.
Ways to Contribute
Renter Members: Contributing Through Residency
Renters play a critical role in sustaining Built By DAO’s ecosystem. By renting a DAO-managed property, members automatically earn equity and governance participation opportunities while contributing to the DAO’s financial sustainability.
Rewards for Renting:
EQTBLT Tokens – Earned as a percentage of rent payments, building long-term ownership.
Access Tokens – Unlocking participation in governance and exclusive DAO benefits.
BLTBY Tokens – Rewarded for renting, building, and active participation.
Renter members help fund DAO growth while earning equity and governance influence through continued participation.
Sweat Equity: Earn by Contributing Your Skills
Members can earn additional equity by actively contributing skills, labor, and expertise to DAO projects. This includes:
Real estate development & construction – Builders, architects, and laborers contribute to DAO-managed properties.
Technology & smart contract development – Engineers and developers help improve DAO governance and token infrastructure.
Community engagement & outreach – Organizers, content creators, and educators help onboard new members and spread awareness.
Sustainability initiatives – Members work on eco-friendly building projects and renewable energy solutions.
All sweat equity contributions are tracked and rewarded with EQTBLT tokens, which represent accumulated ownership credit in the DAO ecosystem.
Investment: Financial Contributions to DAO Growth
Members can invest in Built By DAO to help fund real estate acquisitions, operational costs, and infrastructure expansion. Investment options include:
Direct property funding – Contributions used for acquiring and developing DAO-managed properties.
DAO treasury support – Investments that contribute to the long-term financial sustainability of the DAO.
Staking BLTBY tokens – While BLTBY is not a governance token, it can be used for ecosystem engagement and financial participation.
Investors help scale the DAO’s real estate portfolio while earning financial returns.
Governance Participation: Shaping the DAO’s Future
Governance within Built By DAO is dynamic and proposal-based. Unlike traditional DAOs, governance tokens are not static but are issued per proposal, ensuring that decision-making is decentralized and aligned with specific initiatives.
How governance participation works:
Proposal submissions – Members can propose new projects, policy changes, and funding allocations.
On-chain voting – Voting power is determined by Equity Tokens (EQTBLT) combined with a governance NFT.
Governance tokens per proposal – Distributed based on the type of proposal and the approval, delegation, and execution requirements.
Working group leadership – Members can lead or participate in DAO working groups focused on various initiatives.
This ensures that decision-making remains flexible, participatory, and aligned with the evolving needs of the DAO.
