TDF Village Expansion & Co-Housing Strategy

This proposal brings 2 amendments to the previously failed DIP 22.

Amendments to DIP22 proposal

Amendment 1 — Removal of Long-Stay Discount Tier

This amendment removes the following discount tier from the short-term rental:

• 90–365 days → 70% discount

As discussed in the tokenomics working group, the 70% discount for stays longer than 3 months is not viable. If applied, it would reduce the effective token issuance across all accommodation units to less than 5,000 tokens when evaluated on this timeframe.

This would result in the majority of tokens already being sold under the current distribution, eliminating the ability to raise the remaining €1.5M required through token sales.

The 70% discount only applies to artists' studios that follow the same rationale as the co-housing (long-term token staking).

Amendment 2 — Full Space Privatization

This amendment introduces a fixed token cost for full space privatization:

• Privatization cost: 50 tokens per night

This addition:

• Increases the likelihood of aligned organizations acquiring larger quantities of tokens
• Enables existing token holders to organize events such as retreats, weddings, or gatherings
• Creates a clear and consistent mechanism for full-space booking through tokens

---

Privatization Mechanism (Clarification)

Full-site privatization is only possible under the following conditions:

• Advance Booking Window: The full site is reserved sufficiently in advance (e.g., up to 12 months), before existing bookings are made.
• Available Inventory: There is full availability across all accommodation units for the selected dates.
• Token Coverage: The organizer stakes the required token amount (50 tokens/night) to reserve all available inventory.

In practice, full-site privatization is expected to occur primarily through early planning and coordination, rather than last-minute booking. Full availability may become increasingly rare. Therefore, privatization will rely on planning and/or designated time windows where full-site bookings are possible.

This mechanism ensures that privatization remains possible while preserving the integrity of ongoing stays and long-term residency.

FULL PROPOSAL

1. Context

With the introduction of co-housing and the plan to add 10 tiny houses and 13 houses, TDF is entering the expansion economy phase. This shift affects both the token supply and the utility structure of the $TDF token.

The original token cap was calculated to cover renovation costs and land value, divided proportionally across the available accommodation units. As we extend into long-term residential models, this formula must be revised.

Another important factor is that the initial total supply calculation included all land-based accommodation units, which would require a camping license. At present, a camping license is not compatible with our approved development plans.

For this reason, we propose to exclude these units from the official accommodation supply. However, we will still define a token utility value for them, as they are expected to continue being operated and rented in practice, as they have been until now.

This proposal outlines a new token supply distribution, ensuring:

• Utility coherence between coliving and co-housing
• Predictable token economics for long-term residents
• Sustainable booking capacity for all token holders
• Preservation of rotational housing and hospitality revenue
• Encouragement of longer-term stays in coliving through reduced token rates

Token Supply is based on the official and approved accommodation

2. What Has Changed?

Introduction of Co-Housing Membership

TDF is transitioning toward a hybrid model that includes long-term residents: co-housing members. Although not a final plan, the initial consideration has been to use the token model in the extended village with these assumptions:

• Must stake 383–820 tokens (depending on unit type & costs; TBD)
• Commit to a minimum occupancy of 3 months / 2 years
• May rent out their house through TDF for the remaining months, sharing revenue

This necessitates a token structure that maintains parity between:

• Utility for coliving
• Utility for co-housing
• Token scarcity and price progression

---

3. Tokenomics — The Old Model

Figure 1 — Accommodation Token Costs – Old Model

Accommodation Token Cost - OLD MODEL

• Total token supply: 18,600

Although coliving is not suitable for full-time residents, these numbers represent the token cap for year-long accommodation as calculated and specified in OASA White Paper V1.2.

---

4. Tokenomics — The New Model

To maintain a single token with consistent utility, the new system proposes:

Daily Token Cost Increases + Long-Stay Discounts

Discounts are applied after:

• 7 days → 30% discount
• 30 days → 50% discount

The discount is applied to continuous bookings and not to cumulative bookings.

• 70% discount only applied for long-term artist studios as per the passed proposal DIP 23.

Note: The exact number of tokens to be staked may take into account the balance between private use and commercial operations, including shared revenue periods.

Example: For a setup with 9 months of private use and 3 months of commercial operations with 50% revenue sharing, the studio lease holder would stake: 288.75 tokens (private period) + 0.5 × 94.50 tokens (commercial period).

The detailed staking mechanism would be defined in a separate contract.

Critically: The yearly cost of coliving does not exceed the required staking amount for co-housing, preserving a coherent internal logic.

---

Accommodation Token Costs (New Model)

Accommodation Token Cost - REVISED MODEL

• Total average supply: 15,097.50 tokens (short-term weekly + mid-term monthly)

---

Impact of the New Structure

This structure:

• Aligns coliving and co-housing value (long-term coliving now compares more closely to tiny house staking)
• Encourages longer stays, aligning with TDF culture and community
• Maintains fairness across all token users
• Keeps the average token supply approximately equal to the white paper proposal

---

Inventory Notes

• The house is reserved for team use currently
• Suites and glamping are calculated as private use only (the booking system might propose shared glamping or shared suites)
• Silos and tree houses added as unique accommodation
• Coliving suites cannot be booked for a full year due to shared commercial operations; the highest discounts apply for 90 continuous days or longer bookings
• Artist suites may transition into Dream Businesses, operating similarly to co-housing (separate proposal)

---

5. Rotational Housing & Market Supply Controls

Coliving remains a system of rotational housing, not full-year occupancy.

Maximum nights per token holder should consider:

• 3 months per year reserved for commercial hospitality
• Seasonal fluctuations
• Community availability requirements

---

Supply Management Approach

With at least 25% of summer capacity reserved for hospitality, the recommended temporary supply cap is:

• 15,097.50 tokens available on the market
• 6,485.00 tokens already sold
• 3,774.37 tokens in hospitality reserve
• 4,838.12 tokens available for public sale (≈ 150 citizenships, dedicated to financing coliving development)

Under this cap:

• All current and future token holders can book monthly stays
• TDF retains at least 3 months of inventory for guest revenue
• Additional tokens can be released based on real yearly staking behavior

---

6. Co-Housing Strategy (Recommendations)

Final structure to be confirmed in a separate proposal.

---

6.1 Token Pricing Approach for Co-Housing

Instead of a bidding model:

• Break co-housing sales into staged batches
• Offer tokens at fixed batch prices
• Allow house reservations at the same token rate via secured loans
• Enable existing token holders to use tokens toward co-housing purchases (can create, at least initially, a negative construction delta for the construction of the homes)

This approach increases predictability, protects early adopters, and avoids price volatility.

---

6.2 Construction Costs

• Total construction costs are TBD
• Only standard construction benchmarks are currently available

Recommendation: → Start with small, diversified batches (e.g., one tiny house + one house) to test demand.

---

6.3 Bonding Curve Recalibration

The bonding curve requires review to ensure:

• Reliable forecasting
• Token supply expansion aligns with real utility demand
• Accurate long-term projections, especially for co-housing

This step is required before finalizing pricing tiers.

6.4 Explore other formats outside of the current token economy

• Encourages long-term stays and stabilizes occupancy
