Wouldn’t it be nice to create a perpetual framework backed by natural assets unrelated to the crypto market, and eco-friendly and regenerative?

Personal Introduction

I’m Wasabi, founder of 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 partner with farmers to get the funds they need while creating opportunities for web3 communities by giving them access to perpetual natural assets.

TL;DR

Kokonut Network leverages blockchain governance and open-source accounting into 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 allocate treasury funds.

Kokonut Network 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, due to the fact that coconut trees are replanted when they cease to bear fruits.

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.

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 respect for diverse opinions.

Our commitment extends to safeguarding the interests of minorities through a holistic 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.

Our Vision

Kokonut Network was created to reduce the obstacles to agricultural development, rural project funding, and democratize investment in real-world projects. We will use blockchain technology to establish multiple plantations across the country, creating opportunities for the global web3 communities and everyone in the network.
