DAO Governance Land Stewardship
Using decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) governance to manage land held in perpetual commons, enabling transparent, participatory decision-making for commons-based land stewardship.
What is DAO Governance Land Stewardship?
DAO governance land stewardship combines DAO governance with commons-based land stewardship, using blockchain-based governance to manage land held in perpetual commons. This enables communities to make decisions transparently and participatorily while ensuring alignment with regenerative principles.
At OASA, DAO governance land stewardship is central to our model, enabling communities to steward land collectively while maintaining transparency and accountability.
How DAO Governance Works for Land
Token-Based Participation
Tokenized access rights enable participation:
- Token holders can propose and vote on decisions
- Voting power based on token holdings
- Transparent, on-chain voting records
- Accessible participation for all token holders
Proposal and Voting System
DAO governance enables:
- Anyone can propose decisions
- Proposals are transparent and reviewable
- Voting happens on-chain
- Results are automatically executed
Constitutional Limits
Decisions are bound by:
- Regenerative principles that must be upheld
- Constitutional limits preventing harmful decisions
- Legal structures ensuring perpetual protection
- Ecological boundaries and thresholds
DAO Governance vs. Traditional Land Governance
| Aspect | Traditional Governance | DAO Governance |
|---|---|---|
| Decision-Making | Centralized, opaque | Decentralized, transparent |
| Participation | Limited to owners/board | Token-based, accessible |
| Transparency | Limited, private | On-chain, public |
| Accountability | Difficult to verify | Automated, verifiable |
Land Stewardship Decisions
DAO governance enables communities to make decisions about:
- Regenerative Practices: Which regenerative practices to implement
- Infrastructure: What infrastructure to build
- Resource Allocation: How to allocate resources
- Community Rules: Community guidelines and values
- Budget: Financial decisions and allocations
Benefits of DAO Governance for Land
- Transparency: All decisions are on-chain and transparent
- Participation: Token holders can participate in governance
- Accountability: Decisions are verifiable and auditable
- Efficiency: Automated execution reduces overhead
- Alignment: Constitutional limits ensure alignment with regenerative principles
DAO Governance in Regenerative Commons
In regenerative commons, DAO governance:
- Enables commons-based land stewardship
- Ensures decisions align with regenerative principles
- Creates transparency in stewardship decisions
- Supports long-term thinking and intergenerational responsibility
- Enables community autonomy within ecological boundaries
Constitutional Governance
DAO governance is bound by constitutional limits:
- Decisions must align with regenerative principles
- Land must remain in perpetual commons
- Ecological thresholds cannot be violated
- Constitutional review ensures compliance
