# Dual-Token System

One instrument should not simultaneously represent labor, housing participation, public-market demand, and investor capital. Built By DAO separates those jobs.

## EQTBLT protects earned ownership

EQTBLT is soul-bound and earned. Its two neutral provenance buckets record the source of an issuance:

* `WORK` from reviewed, approved contribution;
* `RENT` from property-specific Housing Loyalty.

Only effective `WORK` provenance enters contributor governance power. Paying rent cannot buy contributor influence.

## BLTBY supports future utility

BLTBY is the separate transferable utility-token workstream. Any public launch, liquidity, distribution, and market operations require their own policies and approvals. BLTBY is not bundled with the investor securities offering and does not convert automatically from EQTBLT.

The separation keeps contribution, housing, capital, and public-market activity legible instead of collapsing them into one balance.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.builtbydao.com/token-economy/dual-token.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
