Equity Programs & Earning Credits
How Members Earn Equity
Built By DAO enables members to build financial equity through renting, contributions, and governance participation. Instead of traditional rent where payments provide no long-term benefit, Built By DAO’s model allocates equity credits (EQTBLT) to members, allowing them to accumulate ownership over time.
Earning Equity Through Rent Contributions
Renter members earn equity as a percentage of their rent payments, ensuring that their financial contributions translate into long-term value rather than just covering housing costs.
10% of net rental income is allocated to members as EQTBLT credits.
These credits accumulate over time and can be used toward homeownership or reinvested in DAO projects.
Rent contributions also grant access tokens, which provide governance rights and unlock community benefits.
This system ensures that renting is a path to ownership, not just an expense.
Earning Additional Equity Through Contributions
Members can earn extra equity by actively contributing to the DAO beyond rent payments. Equity can be accumulated through:
Sweat Equity – Contributing labor, expertise, or project involvement.
Governance Participation – Engaging in DAO decision-making and proposal voting.
Community Development – Supporting initiatives that enhance the DAO’s ecosystem.
Contributions are tracked, and members earn additional EQTBLT tokens based on their involvement.
Redeeming Equity Credits
EQTBLT tokens serve as a gateway to property ownership and community-driven investments. These credits can be used for:
Homeownership – EQTBLT tokens can be applied as down payments for DAO-managed homes.
Commercial & Community Development – Members can reinvest equity credits into DAO-led projects, including business spaces and shared amenities.
Future Property Allocations – If a member is not ready to purchase a home, their equity credits continue to accumulate and can be applied to future properties.
This ensures financial flexibility while maintaining a commitment to equity-building.
Why This Matters
Built By DAO’s equity system transforms rent into an investment, ensuring that members build ownership rather than just paying for a place to live. By participating in the DAO’s ecosystem, members gain:
A financial stake in DAO properties and projects.
A clear pathway to homeownership or community reinvestment.
Long-term financial security through equity accumulation.
Built By DAO is redefining ownership by ensuring that every contribution—whether renting, working, or governing—creates lasting value for members.
