Join Built By DAO

Internal Exchange Pool

Purpose

The Internal Exchange Pool exists to keep the DAO fluid and usable. It allows contributors to shift value between token types, unlock access inside the ecosystem, and, for those who have vested, periodically redeem tokens for stable value. This pool is maintained by the DAO to support member flexibility, optional liquidity, and real utility.

Core Functions

Converting Between BLTBY and EQTBLT

Contributors can exchange BLTBY tokens for EQTBLT when they want to deepen their participation or unlock higher-tier governance rights. EQTBLT represents a more permanent, contribution-weighted presence in the DAO—useful for voting, submitting proposals, or accessing long-term privileges.

This conversion:

  • Increases your standing and visibility inside the DAO

  • Signals commitment to long-term impact

  • Opens pathways to higher roles, tasks, and responsibilities

Conversion ratios are governed by smart contract parameters and can be updated by the DAO through on-chain votes.

Unlocking DAO Resources and Roles

BLTBY tokens can also be used directly to unlock resources and access inside the DAO. This includes:

  • Shared tools or creative spaces

  • Temporary contributor roles or permissions

  • Training programs, learning modules, or exclusive content

  • Physical spaces or on-site amenities in DAO-owned buildings

This mechanism ensures contributors can spend what they’ve earned to access what they’ve helped build—regardless of whether they hold long-term governance tokens.

Exit Windows for Vested BLTBY

For contributors who have reached their vesting threshold, the DAO will open scheduled internal exit windows. During these periods, vested BLTBY can be exchanged directly for stable tokens from the DAO treasury.

These windows:

  • Are announced in advance and occur at defined intervals

  • Allow contributors to redeem a portion of their tokens without using external DeFi platforms

  • Are funded by internal liquidity reserves governed by the DAO

This gives members a trusted, DAO-governed path to value realization, without relying on market volatility or third-party platforms. It's not a guarantee of cashout—it’s a system-wide structure that provides optional, fair redemption when the time is right.

Design Philosophy

The Internal Exchange Pool reflects a core principle of Built By DAO: Value should remain accessible to the people who create it.

Rather than force contributors into external speculation or rely solely on governance, this pool makes tokens useful from day one—and gives people real tools for shaping how they participate, grow, and benefit from the system.

Whether you want more influence, more access, or more liquidity, this is where your work gets translated into action.
