Environmental Credits & Monitoring

We're raising secured private loans at 5% fixed for 4 years, collateralised by land & buildings in Alentejo. 2026 is a build year; full operations begin in 2027 (14 suites, restaurant, events, agroforestry).

Invest in Europe's first DAO-governed regenerative village

Refinance in 2027–28, repay on schedule at 4-year maturity (5% p.a.; ~20% total coupon).

Base (expected)

Build/permit delays → rely more on collateral/refi; still secured by real assets; repayment may skew toward end of term.

Downside

Exit Scenarios

Faster occupancy & ADR → earlier refi (late 2026–27). Potential early principal return.

Upside

Financial Projections (2025–2029)

How to visit or dive in

4 000+ trees are already rooting the soil, with 10 000 more fruit and nut trees—almonds, olives, citrus, berries—on the blueprint. Contour swales capture rain, feeding our existing and planned lakes and keeping the land lush year‑round. Our strictly organic methods rely on compost and natural pest control, turning excess biomass into biochar that locks away carbon while boosting fertility—so every harvest nourishes both the ecovillage and the planet.

Carrots can be harvested monthly with a pioneer subscription or earned by completing 👾 quests (coming soon).

Get cosy in a glamping tent for you, and two or three more folks. It's spacious and comfortable, don't worry - they are 5m in diameter. There's a lamp to give you light, and a plug for your electronics. Usually the tent will be inside our warehouse.

Token sale Now OPEN!

Fox was invited to participate in $TDF's private sale. She can get her $TDF at lower prices, as the token price increases for every token sold and she's in first hundred purchasers.  She's not sure of how her life is going to roll in the next few years, but she decides to buy 30 $TDF - she can support the project construction for now, and if later she decides not to spend time there, she can sell her tokens after the go-live event.
