How You’ll Get Value from Your Contribution to Built By DAO
Built By DAO is part of a global shift in how people work, earn, and build things together. It’s one of hundreds of DAOs—Decentralized Autonomous Organizations—that operate without bosses or hierarchies. Instead, they use smart contracts, shared rules, and transparent ledgers to organize work and distribute value fairly.
DAOs are already coordinating billions in value and thousands of contributors. Built By DAO is one of them—but unlike most, we’re building real-world housing, spaces, and systems you can actually touch.
This page explains how your contributions are tracked, what you receive in return, and how to use it—inside the DAO and beyond.
What a DAO Is (and Why It Works)
A DAO is a community organized by code and shared agreement—not centralized ownership.
It runs on smart contracts
It records all activity on-chain
It distributes access and rewards based on participation
No bosses. No gatekeepers. No backroom deals. Just a system that keeps track of what’s done and makes sure contributors benefit from what they help create.
Built By DAO follows the same principles—but applies them to housing, shared infrastructure, and community development.
How Value Comes Back to You
When you contribute labor, skills, or capital—or even pay rent—you earn EQTBLT tokens.
These tokens are:
The primary reward for contribution
How we track your stake in the shared system
How you access deeper opportunities inside the DAO
In addition, BLTBY tokens may be earned or used for internal exchanges and liquidity. But EQTBLT is the core unit that connects your work to long-term value.
Think of EQTBLT not as equity, but as a lasting record of the value you’ve added, backed by on-chain proof and built to unlock benefits across the network.
What You Earn
You Do This…
You Earn…
Contribute work, skills, or labor
EQTBLT tokens
Pay rent through equity-building leases
EQTBLT tokens (based on rent contribution rate)
Complete tasks or projects
EQTBLT (primary) + optional BLTBY for liquidity
Reach milestones or participate in governance
Status, rank, proposal rights
All of this is stored permanently on the blockchain—meaning it’s visible, secure, and impossible to overwrite.
What You Can Do with EQTBLT
Access housing within the DAO’s real estate network
Unlock governance participation, including voting and proposal rights
Gain early or priority access to projects, spaces, and tools
Increase your role and standing inside the community
You don’t need to build a house to live in one. You just need to have contributed—and EQTBLT proves you did.
The Role of BLTBY
BLTBY tokens serve as:
A secondary utility token within the DAO
A tool for internal exchanges, access gating, or reward bonuses
A way to participate in liquidity pools and exchange value through DeFi
After a vesting period, BLTBY tokens can be exchanged on platforms like Uniswap for USDC or other stablecoins.
But again: the core value you earn for your contributions and rent is EQTBLT.
Liquidity & Flexibility
Built By DAO supports two types of liquidity pathways:
Convert between BLTBY and EQTBLT depending on access or liquidity needs
Use tokens to unlock tools, roles, services, or space.
After vesting, BLTBY tokens can be exchanged for stablecoins on Uniswap
This provides optional off-ramp liquidity without needing centralized approval
Your work earns value you can use now, build with later, or liquidate if needed.
The value contributors earn in Built By DAO isn’t tied to speculation or external market swings. It’s grounded in the real work happening across the network—construction, coordination, rent contributions, and participation—and backed by tangible assets like property and infrastructure.
This foundation allows us to maintain long-term stability while still offering flexible ways for contributors to access, use, or exchange what they’ve earned. You don’t need to worry about the risks common to other token-driven systems. Your value here stays usable, steady, and real.
The System Keeps Score—And Keeps It Fair
Every hour you work. Every rent payment you make. Every project you help complete.
It’s all recorded on the blockchain. That means:
No one can delete your contributions
No one can deny what you’ve earned
You carry your record with you, wherever the DAO goes
You don’t just earn for the moment. You hold lasting credit that travels with you and grows with the network.
Not a Job. A Share in the System.
This isn’t employment. It’s participation with a stake in what’s being built.
You contribute—and get something that gives you options, access, and a voice.
We don’t issue equity. But you still walk away with something far better than a paycheck: the ability to live, grow, and thrive inside a system you helped make possible.
