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.\n\nOur 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.\n\n### TL;DR\n\nKokonut 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.\n\nKokonut 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.\n\n### Table of Contents\n1.

Resources \ud83e\uddf0\n\n## What's Coming Next in Kokonut Network Q3 & Q4 2023\n\n- Kokonut Network Green Paper (with **Expert's advice** from the [**Department of Agriculture**](https://agricultura.gob.do/))\n- Kokonut DAO has been selected to be included in [**Season 2**](https://cryptogood.substack.com/p/how-we-selected-15-impact-daos-to) of the **Impact DAO Book**\n- Kokonut DAO Constitution\n- Our first ever Public Ask Me Anything **([Link to the Event](https://link3.to/e/RJ233C))**\n- Kokonut V1 in Numbers **(Interactive Data Dashboard)**\n- New website page called **\u201cImpact\u201d**\n- Research Paper \u201cHow to regenerate your treasury with coconuts\u201d [**Sneak Peek**](https://forum.metacartel.org/t/proposal-metacartel-treasury-sustainability/2277/11?u=kokonutnetwork)\n- Simplified & Streamlined [**Roadmap for 2023 & 2024**](https://link.kokonut.network/roadmap)\n\n## This is what you're helping bring to life\n\n### Kokonut Five Dimensions of Impact\n1. **WHAT** \u2013 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.\n2. **WHO** \u2013 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.\n3. **HOW MUCH** \u2013 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.\n4. **CONTRIBUTION** \u2013 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.\n5. **RISK** \u2013 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.\n\n### We asked ChatGPT \"benefits of owning a Coconut Plantation\"\n![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BkVQSSV32.jpg)\n\n\n# Major Updates since Beta Round\n\n### **DAO Framework Upgrade**\n\nFractional 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. \n\nYou can basically own a 1/2 of a Coconut Tree \ud83c\udf34, learn more about DAOHaus V3 [**here**](https://daohaus.mirror.xyz/bcJCN2H7vow6xRE977A4pTWUNR0vqrgTscFLtu2ttn8).\n\n### **Kokonut Podcast Deep Dive Sessions**\n\nCommunity-oriented podcast with the goal of highlighting Real World projects, learn more [**here**](https://paragraph.xyz/@kokonut/podcast-deep-dive-sessions)\n\n[**Kokonut Impact Dive #001**](https://link3.to/e/LX7RVL) Listen to the Twitter Space [**here**](https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1dRKZMLazbbxB)\n[**Kokonut Impact Dive #002**](https://link3.to/e/Er24sl) Listen to the Twitter Space [**here**](https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1eaKbrnVjreKX)\n\n\n### **Social Media Content**\n\nAs we keep working to establish our **Presence** in the Web3 community, we have been featured in multiple high-level publications and outlets, a [**Case Study**](https://www.charmverse.io/post/impact-dao-established-around-coconuts) by Charmverse based on the **Impact Nature of our DAO** and the community approach we are developing.

Our approach is different, as evidenced by our roadmap.\n\n[**Kokonut Network Diagram Swinlane Chart**](https://link.kokonut.network/diagram)\n\n### Why coconuts? \n#### Zero Waste Circular By Default Crop \u267b\ufe0f\n\nCoconut 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nCoconut 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.\n\n### Kokonut V1 [Production Layer \ud83d\udc68\ud83c\udffd\u200d\ud83c\udf3e]\n\nOur first plantation will yield 18 million coconuts annually, enabling us to generate multiple revenue streams in the food, health, and automotive industries.\n\n**Learn more:**\u00a0*<https://kokonut.network/kokonut-v1>*\n\n### **Kokonut DAO** [Governance Layer \ud83d\uddf3\ufe0f]\n\n***The DAO is the core vehicle for all fundraising, rewards distributions, and governance decisions.***\n\nKokonut 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.\n\n**Learn more:**\u00a0*<https://kokonut.network/dao>*\n\n### **Our Vision**\n\nKokonut 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.\n\n### **What makes us different?**\n\nKokonut 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.\n\n**Learn more:**\u00a0*<https://kokonut.network/about>*\n\n## **\u201cAs Seen On\u201d**\nComplete Database of Public Speaking, Podcasts, Newsletters Interviews [**here**](https://link.kokonut.network/press).\n\n\n\n## **Resources**\n\n- Website *<https://www.kokonut.network/>*\n- Let\u2019s have a chat at\u00a0*<https://link.kokonut.network/meeting>*\n- Join our Discord\u00a0*<https://link.kokonut.network/discord>*\n- Kokonut Web3 Blog *<https://paragraph.xyz/@kokonut>*\n- Tree of Links *<https://link3.to/kokonutnetwork>*\n- Donate To Gitcoin GG18 Round *<https://link.kokonut.network/gitcoin>*\n- Beta Round Grant Proposal available at [*HackMD*](https://hackmd.io/@p45yOpo3SHib3bruZRlcpA/ry7LIdTf3)\n\n***Thank you for reading this far.
