# LandDAO

> Tokenized Real Lands Backed by Real-World Assets

LandDAO is a DAO that acquires physical land globally and tokenizes it as RWA-backed NFTs on Solana, enabling community-owned land investment and governance.

LandDAO enables global communities to collectively own and manage residential and agricultural land through tokenized NFTs backed by verified property titles. Users can acquire fractional stakes, participate in governance decisions on acquisitions and improvements, and access land-backed returns. The platform bridges on-chain ownership with real-world property law through KYC verification and jurisdictional compliance.

## Products

- [LandDAO](https://thegrid.id/profiles/landdao): LandDAO is a Solana-based RWA tokenization platform that acquires physical land plots and represents each parcel as a unique on-chain asset using the Token-2022 standard with transfer hooks. The system enforces KYC-gated ownership rules via an identity registry and policy engine. The platform supports DAO governance through hybrid on-chain and off-chain execution, an RWA land trading marketplace for secondary transactions, and a DeFi layer providing land-backed borrowing, yield distribution, and structured capital pools. (RWA Tokenisation Platform, In Development, Main Product)

## Assets

- [LandDAO Token (LNDAO)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/landdao): LNDAO is the governance token of LandDAO. It is used for DAO governance voting, land acquisition decisions, marketplace fee payments, and community rewards on Solana. The token incorporates a buyback-and-burn mechanism where 80% of quarterly DAO profits are used to repurchase and destroy tokens, reducing total supply over time. (Governance)
- [Land NFT (LRWA)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/landdao): Land NFT is an NFT collection on Solana representing ownership of real physical land plots acquired by LandDAO. Each token is tied to a verified land parcel backed by legal documentation, enabling fractional ownership and secondary market trading. Holders can optionally take physical possession of the underlying land if certain conditions are met. (NFT)
