Making the bottom of the food chain a top priority.
SoilDAO is a multinational collective operating as a Decentralized Autonomous Organization. We are Stewards of Earth dedicated to the preservation & regeneration of our planet’s topsoil. Join us.
The Problem
Our Soil is going extinct, and so is our food.
Modern industrial systems treat land as a resource to be owned, mined, sprayed, and sold. We’ve stripped the Earth of life—carbon, nutrients, spirit—and replaced it with concrete, chemicals, and control.
From forests to farmland, sacred land is being bought, sold, and centralized by banks, corporations, and governments. This self-destructive path has brought us into the heart of the sixth mass extinction.
The result? Soil extinction. Collapsing ecosystems. Over 100,000 species vanishing every year. And most tangible for you:
Depleted soil = Depleted humans
No soil = No food.
According to the FAO (2022)
We are losing 24 billion tons of fertile soil each year. We are destroying topSoil 10-100 times faster than nature can regenerate it organically. Global soils store more carbon than the atmosphere and vegetation combined, but degradation is releasing it—accelerating climate instability.
According to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD)
At current rates of degradation, fertile soil will go extinct in 2070. In addition, the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that by 2045, food production will drop by 40%. This leads to in every measurable way the most pressing problem we are facing as humanity today…
SOIL EXTINCTION - YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT - EXTINCTION!
We hear warnings about AI, pandemics, and nuclear war—and rightly so. But there’s another existential threat that’s rarely mentioned: We are losing the ability to grow food. At current rates, fertile soil could vanish within 50 years.
No soil = No food.
No food = No civilization.
Why Soil is the Answer to (Almost) Every Problem We Face as Humanity
Soil + Humans = the fastest way to solve all of our impending problems as humans on this planet
This is what happens when Soil gets regenerated:
- Water tables restored
- Biodiversity rebounded
- Communities get lifted off poverty
- Children returned to school
- Food and water security improved
- Crime and instability declined

We’re killing the very ground we stand on.
At this pace, fertile soil will vanish within 50 years.
No soil = No civilization.
Soil is the original wealth, memory, and future.
When we heal soil, we heal ourselves.
Regeneration isn’t just possible—it’s happening.
This is the turning point—and you’re part of it.
The Vision
Redefining Land Ownership to Incentivize Regeneration
We have lost our way. We’ve been severed from the land, the waters that give us life. Disconnected from our true family—
the trees, the plants, the birds, the bees, the worms.
We’ve lost touch with the very forces that sustain us.
Even AI is a child of Earth — copper veins, silicon bones, electric breath—mined from her mountains, shaped by minds fed from her soil.
The destruction of our topsoil is not a side effect—
it’s the symptom of a broken system of land ownership.
SoilDAO exists to change that.
We’re not alone. Around the world, visionaries are healing land and defending the sacred. But the problem is systemic—and so the solution must be, too.
SoilDAO is building the architecture for a new way:
- Where land is stewarded, not exploited
- Where ownership is redefined through trust, cooperation, and sovereignty
- Where topsoil becomes the foundation of a regenerative economy
This is not a project.
It’s a movement. A map. A way of life.
This is the Big Picture—what part will you claim?
HOME
~The Return to Land - The Source of Belonging & Right Relationship~
Our relationship with Earth is real only through land. “Earth” is a concept. Land is lived. It’s felt, touched, remembered.
To know Earth is to know land.
Regeneration is the return to right relationship with place.
HOME is not a house—it’s a living covenant.
It’s where soil, soul, and stewardship meet.
The Creator gifted us this unimaginable place called Earth—
not to own, but to steward—for the benefit of all life.
SoilDAO’s mission is to help us remember our rightful place here.
To liberate land, so we may steward it once again—together, for all life on Earth.
STEWARDSHIP COMMONS
~ Marketplace for Regeneration ~
This is where everything converges and becomes real.
Tokenize your land—in a way no one else in the industry is doing.
Simple. Sovereign. Sacred.
Liquify physical assets. Fractionalize digital tokens backed by real land.
Trade, borrow, and engage with your community. Interact with the first truly stable token backed by land—not fiat, not debt.
This is the first economy built on regeneration, not extraction.
This is where we thrive—together—as a global community of stewards.
Every transaction supports the growth of ecosystems, not imaginary numbers—fueling real projects, real communities, and the regeneration of Earth’s commons.
ReFi
~ Finance for Regeneration ~
ReFi is regenerative finance—where value creation is directly tied to healing land, air, water, and community.
It is decentralized by design, but governed by the principles of the Covenant. Its code serves its intent: to incentivize regeneration, stewardship, and reciprocity.
ReFi verifies real-world impact and moves capital where life can thrive.
Through Proof-of-Soil, SoilDAO anchors an economy built on regeneration—not extraction.
This is not finance to scale markets.
This is finance to restore our most precious resource—living topsoil.
COVENANT
~The Living Constitution of SoilDAO~
This is the source code of integrity.
A living covenant built on Natural Law, unalienable rights, and the truth that land cannot be owned—only stewarded.
Every proposal, policy, and project must align with this document—written in both code and conscience.
The Trustee Council is bound to it. All DAO activity is measured against it. It is the anchor of our governance, our agreements, and our future.
TRUSTEE COUNCIL
~ Guardians of the Covenant ~
The Trustee Council exists to uphold the original intent of SoilDAO: to protect the rights of Nature, the sovereignty of all beings, and the integrity of the Constitution—both in law and in code.
Their role is not to govern people, but to guard principles. Not to create laws, but to enforce one:
Do No Harm.
They act as the living trustees of the DAO’s covenant with land. They verify proposals, uphold the Constitution, and defend the natural and digital contracts that hold this movement together.
DAO
~Decentralized Autonomous Organization~
Decentralization is the dao—the way.
Nature is Decentralized. It thrives through distributed intelligence, feedback loops, and cooperation.
DAO = Aligned Incentives + Transparent Rules
A DAO isn’t just code. It’s a living covenant—a new commons where:
- Land is stewarded, not owned
- The economy is decentralized, transparent, and automated—incentivizing regeneration
- Built by the people, for the land
Decentralization is Antifragile by Design. DAO logic mirrors mycelium, watersheds, and the neural web of the brain.
DAOs encode Natural Law—rules rooted in Earth’s order, not man’s ego.
AIR
~ The Breath of the Earth ~
We talk about carbon in the sky—but forget the soil beneath our feet.
We don’t have a carbon crisis. We have a carbon mismanagement crisis. And once again, soil holds the solution.
Soil stores more carbon than the atmosphere and all plant life combined.
When soil is alive, it draws carbon down. When it dies, it releases it back up.
Carbon isn’t the enemy. Mismanagement is.
Soil is the regulator. Let it breathe.
WATER
~ The Essence of Life ~
We’re told we have a water crisis. But how can that be when Earth is 70% water?
The truth is—we have a water mismanagement crisis, and soil is the key to restoring balance.
Living soil holds up to 20x its weight in water.
It stores it. Filters it. Replenishes aquifers.
It prevents droughts, floods, erosion—even fires.
We don’t have a water problem.
We have a soil problem.
Restore soil—and water will flow again.
SOIL
~ The Foundation of Thriving Life & Thriving Civilization ~
Most of us are familiar with climate change, carbon emissions, air pollution, and water scarcity.
But few focus on soil—the thin, living skin of Earth that sustains all terrestrial life.
What if this life-giving force—home to over 25% of the planet’s biodiversity—became the foundation of our economy?
Web3 makes it possible.
Proof-of-Soil is our answer:a regenerative economic layer rooted in biology, stewardship, and truth—one that incentivizes regeneration, not extraction.
LAW
Land • Air • Water
~The Natural Order - Nature’s Law~
True law begins with land, air, and water—the primordial rights of all beings.
SoilDAO reclaims LAW as the living foundation of governance. Not legalese. Not corporate capture. But Natural Law—rooted in Earth’s design.
Nature is not a democracy.
Honor her principles, and she will reward you with unimaginable beauty and abundance.
Break her laws, and suffering follows—as we are witnessing now.
Restore right relationship with land, air, and water—and from that, justice, value, and stewardship will flow.
Members of SoilDAO are aligned with the mission and have chosen to prioritize the development of the Stewardship Commons. This is the clearest way to connect land stewards, regenerate ecosystems, and activate real-world coordination at scale.

Tokenize Your Land
SoilDAO is pioneering the next generation of land stewardship by combining the proven protection of trusts with the power of smart contracts, AI, and blockchain.
We’re making the dream of land tokenization real—affordable, efficient, and accessible to all.
Living Asset to Liquid Asset
Once your land is tokenized, you unlock its digital potential—and step into an infinite game of possibility.
Share ownership, invite your community, and exchange value creatively—on your terms. With a digital twin of your land, only imagination limits how you regenerate, fund, and co-create.

SoilDAO Principles
The Covenant That Guides All Stewardship
These principles are upheld by the Trustee Council, encoded in the Covenant, and woven through every layer of the SoilDAO ecosystem:
Do No Harm
Every action within SoilDAO must honor the sanctity of life and minimize harm to land, beings, and future generations.
Stewardship Over Ownership
Land is not to be owned—it is to be protected, cared for, and stewarded with a seven-generation mindset.
Regeneration Over Extraction
All activity must contribute to the healing and renewal of soil, water, air, ecosystems, and community.
Decentralized Power, Local Autonomy
Governance flows from the bottom up, empowering local stewards and honoring sovereign self-governance—held in trust, not control.
Proof of Impact
Value flows from verified regeneration. Participation is measured not by speculation, but by the real impact on life systems.
