How We Maintain Token Value
A Different Approach to Token Stability
Many people are rightly concerned about the volatility of tokens in DeFi ecosystems. Prices swing. Liquidity disappears. Projects collapse when token value crashes.
Built By DAO was designed to be different.
Our system doesn’t rely on hype, speculation, or external token markets to preserve value. Instead, it uses a dual-token structure backed by real-world assets and measurable contributions. Together, this creates a network where contributors always retain value—regardless of what’s happening in external markets.
Real Work, Real Assets, Real Value
The value of our token system is grounded in:
Physical real estate developed or operated by the DAO
Rental income and member lease contributions
Recorded labor, skill, and participation from members
This is not just an economic engine—it’s an accounting layer for real productivity. The value of your tokens isn’t floating in abstraction. It’s tied directly to tangible work, spaces, and systems we’ve built together.
Two Tokens, Two Roles
EQTBLT – Stability and Internal Access
EQTBLT is designed to be stable, grounded, and non-speculative. It is earned through contribution and rent and used to unlock access to DAO properties, voting rights, and long-term participation.
Cannot be traded on external markets
Retains internal value regardless of DeFi fluctuations
Functions more like a community credit system than a volatile coin
If BLTBY is like a liquid token, EQTBLT is the anchor—a store of value that stays valid across all DAO spaces and projects.
BLTBY – Liquidity and External Access
BLTBY is used for optional liquidity, internal exchanges, and access to DeFi opportunities.
Can be traded (after vesting) on platforms like Uniswap
Lets contributors realize external value or participate in DeFi upside
Still grounded in the work and assets of the DAO, not speculation alone
By keeping BLTBY liquid and EQTBLT stable, contributors get the best of both worlds:
Upside potential from DeFi access
Stability and usability from a DAO-governed internal system
Not Pegged—But Principled
Unlike a stablecoin pegged to fiat currency, our system is pegged to what we’ve built. That includes:
Renovated properties
Equity-building lease agreements
Contributor time, effort, and participation
DAO-governed reserves
So even if the external market price of BLTBY fluctuates, the value inside the DAO—what you can access, unlock, and participate in—remains steady.
Your tokens don’t lose meaning just because the market moves. They stay valuable because they’re backed by everything we’ve made real.
Resilient by Design
Market volatility
Internal token (EQTBLT) retains stable, utility-based value
Exit risk
Vested BLTBY can be redeemed during DAO-managed exit windows
Speculative pressure
Dual-token system separates liquidity from access rights
Sustainability of rewards
All tokens backed by real estate, rent flows, and work logs
We don’t rely on token hype to keep the DAO alive. We rely on the work of our contributors and the value of what we build.
