# Kokonut Network; Building an Eco-Friendly Perpetual Asset
***Wouldn’t it be nice to create a perpetual protocol backed by natural assets unrelated to the crypto market, and eco-friendly and regenerative?***

### Personal Introduction

I’m [**Wasabi**](https://link3.to/wasabinetwork), founder at [**Kokonut Network**](https://kokonut.network/). We are building a bridge to connect web3 and agriculture. We are creating a blockchain-based cooperative to develop and manage a network of coconut farms.

Our main goal is to address the worldwide lack of funding for agricultural projects. We help farmers get the funds they need while creating opportunities for web3 communities by giving them access to perpetual natural assets.

### TL;DR

Kokonut Network offers blockchain governance and open-source accounting services to the agricultural sector. Our mission is to encourage, organize, finance, and oversee coconut farms. We gather funds from the community using the Kokonut DAO framework to make decisions and distribute treasury funds.

Kokonut Network can forge a lifelong partnership with its members through the Kokonut DAO, utilizing a combination of Agriculture, Blockchain, Web3, Soil, and Weather. This synergy has no expiration date, mirroring the fact that coconut trees are replanted when they cease to bear fruit.

## This is what you're helping bring to life

### Kokonut Five Dimensions of Impact
1. **WHAT** – The objective is to test our DAO thesis by building and developing a coconut plantation under the DAO model, which intersects real-life communities, web3 communities, and global culture. The outcome of this investment will create a perpetual asset that will improve people's lives in every aspect.
2. **WHO** – The families who own the land where the project will be developed are underserved in every aspect, including education, finances, health, and opportunities. In Latin America, jobs and the economy mainly function in big cities, and the countryside is typically marginalized or taken advantage of by large corporations. A blockchain-based co-op can help remove many of these barriers.
3. **HOW MUCH** – Approximately 60 families own the land, and the project will create 1,000 direct and indirect jobs. This will be life-changing for everyone involved, as it will provide opportunities and value for at least 20 years.
4. **CONTRIBUTION** – Underserved individuals depend on these types of projects and new concepts based on blockchain that open doors to new paradigms and possibilities. The current system's criteria and entry-level are very high, making it difficult for those who cannot meet their standards.
5. **RISK** – We have several fail safes in place, such as agricultural insurance, open-source cloud accounting systems, government and community oversight, and technical support from all government agencies involved in the project framework.

### We asked ChatGPT "benefits of owning a Coconut Plantation"

# Major Updates since Beta Round

### **DAO Framework Upgrade**

Fractional ownership of Coconut Trees is coming to Kokonut DAO, now shares are ERC-20 allowing members to surpass the actual limitation of whole shares. This lowers the barrier to joining the DAO and further improves decentralization. 

You can basically own a 1/2 of a Coconut Tree 🌴, learn more about DAOHaus V3 [**here**](https://daohaus.mirror.xyz/bcJCN2H7vow6xRE977A4pTWUNR0vqrgTscFLtu2ttn8).

# Why Kokonut Network?

In essence, Kokonut Network serves as the coordination layer that harnesses the power of web3 and open-source technologies to craft an adaptable organism capable of limitless expansion, thanks to its modular plug-and-play design framework.

Every component of our network is crafted in alignment with our core values: community first, work and access freedom, and respect for diverse opinions.

Our commitment extends to safeguarding the interests of minorities through a comprehensive approach. Our approach is different, as evidenced by our roadmap.

### Why coconuts? 
#### Zero Waste Circular By Default Crop ♻️

Coconut is the most cultivated and vital palm tree in the world, as it is the main source of vegetable fat. It is one of the plants that provide a wide variety of products and by-products, serving as a primary source of food, drinks, and shelter for animals.

The coconut products market size was valued at $11.5 billion in 2018 and is estimated to reach $31.1 billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of 13.6% from 2019 to 2026. In 2018, the coconut oil segment accounted for more than half of the total coconut products market share.

Coconut is a versatile fruit with many health benefits. Its derivatives, such as coconut oil, water, milk, desiccated coconut, coir, and copra, are used in the food, beverage, cosmetic, and personal care industries.

### Kokonut V1 [Production Layer 👨🏽‍🌾]

Our first plantation will yield 18 million coconuts annually, enabling us to generate multiple revenue streams in the food, health, and automotive industries.

### **Kokonut DAO** [Governance Layer 🗳️]

***The DAO is the core vehicle for all fundraising, rewards distributions, and governance decisions.***

Kokonut Network is a platform built by and for people. At its core, Kokonut DAO seeks to empower anyone who adds value to the Kokonut Network ecosystem, regardless of their social status or prior accomplishments.

**Learn more:** *<https://kokonut.network/dao>*

### **Our Vision**

Kokonut Network was created to reduce the obstacles to agricultural development, and rural project funding, and democratize investment in real-world projects. We will use blockchain technology to establish multiple plantations across the country, providing advantages to the global crypto communities and everyone in the network.

### **What makes us different?**

Kokonut Network has a distinct approach. Rather than establishing our proposal or business plan by taking advantage of our users, and attempting to get them to purchase some non-backed token, we have created a resilient system over time. It is backed by coconut plants on our land and has a DAO for governance, funds allocation, and rewards sharing.
