It’s legally exhausting and financially punishing. Most intentional communities collapse — infighting, zoning battles, running out of money. We’re selecting 10 hardcore land stewards and giving them a ~3x capital multiplier, a Web3 operating system, and a battle-tested Swiss legal framework to build the next generation of solarpunk villages — without selling their souls to private equity.

Your campaign launches on Artizen. Donors seed the fund’s matching pool before your campaign opens; every $1 your supporters give draws a match from that pool, plus Artizen endowment prizes. Matching runs until the pool is spent — it’s pre-raised money, not a guarantee of infinite match.
OS
Bookings, membership, events, governance, Proof of Presence, and token utilities — the same platform Traditional Dream Factory has run on for seven years — plus 1% of platform transaction fees flowing back into the fund.
CH
The OASA structure — Swiss association + land trust, a token model built on use rights rather than investment contracts — is available to adopt, but not required. Either way, our legal counsel is at your disposal to map your structure onto local zoning and property law.

Villages using the OASA trust: if you run out of money, the land stays in trust — it can’t be seized by creditors chasing equity or flipped by a majority faction. Stewardship transitions; the commons survives.

Traditional Dream Factory (Alentejo, Portugal): 25 ha, 300+ token holders, €1.5M+ raised through tokens, 1.5M litres of rain harvesting infrastructure, 60+ active citizens, seven years of consent-based governance with the scars to show for it. The land is in trust. It runs entirely on Closer.
Your land, your community, your plan — and why you have the stomach for this.

No. The OASA structure — Swiss association plus land trust, tokens built on use rights rather than investment contracts — is available to adopt, but not required. What is non-negotiable is a binding stewardship commitment: if you protect your land another way, you disclose your methodology openly. A 100-year horizon over a 5-year exit, whatever the legal wrapper.
Donors seed the fund’s matching pool before village campaigns open on Artizen. Every dollar a supporter gives to your campaign draws a match from that pool, amplified by Artizen endowment prizes. Matching runs until the pool is spent — it is pre-raised money, not a guarantee of infinite match. Your job is to bring supporters; ours is to have the pool ready.
If you use the OASA trust, the land stays in trust. It cannot be seized by creditors chasing equity or flipped by a majority faction. Stewardship transitions to new hands; the commons survives. If you use your own structure, that protection is whatever your structure provides — which is why we ask you to disclose it.
You run on Closer for the duration of the cohort as your digital backbone. There is no lock-in: your data and community stay yours, everything can be exported, and you can leave after.
Apply anyway and say so. Land — title or long-term lease — or a concrete deal in progress matters most for the first cohort, but we’d rather know about strong teams early. The cohort after this one will exist too.
Cohort villages issue tokens that sell governance and use rights — a night’s stay, a vote, a membership — never equity or profit distributions. It opens follow-on capital for villages that have proven themselves during the cohort. Traditional Dream Factory has raised over €1.5M this way from 300+ token holders.
