Next generation Governance
powered by a web3 framework
Web3 is considered one of the big game changers in the way we are interacting with the internet, information, and business. For instance, blockchain has been one of the driving forces behind a widescale adaption of NFTs and various implementations of distributed ledgers. Businesses are constantly brainstorming on how to leverage this power to modernize business processes.
The AAVA DAO is being developed with this exactly in mind. To take a Token based business model in the climate markets, and take it to the next level by employing a command and control structure above the Token where key decisions are made by the Members of the DAO. This is implemented by transparent and extremely robust voting mechanism.
AAVA DAO puts its Members in Control
Lets clear this up,
why are we launching
a membership NFT?
You could consider it similar to a pre seed stage fund raise from people who want to be a part of the initiative and to secure positions in the actual value generating Token prior to public launch.
Once the initial distribution is done, the DAO Membership NFT is tradable at public NFT marketplaces for the price set by their owners.
However, note that the NFT itself has no inherent value nor does it provide any income directly from ownership.
In short, we are developing 2 different products
AAVA DAO (´NFT´)– a membership driven community that acts as a controlling entity for the business and the decision making that we are developing. Think about it as the voting rights holders in a company.
AAVA Climate Performance Token (´Token´) – a Securitized Token that will be sold separately under a structure that has the legal and regulatory position to be sold as what would be considered an asset.
The use cases for tokens have now emerged and when done right, the NFTs or tokens are not simply based on a speculative value, but can link to the actual value generation of an asset.
This asset, or simply, a fungible climate token, enables Token holders to gain access to income and benefits from the projects that are behind the Tokens, the Tokenised project revenue rights. This ability to have tokens that interact with traditional industry through an efficient infrastructure is Amazing!

Membership Tiers
AAVA DAO Memberships
The AAVA DAO Memberships come in a range of tiers based on commitment and engagement with the ecosystem.
To gain access, users purchase a DAO Membership token (an NFT) and use the token to interact with the platform that is set up for management activities, community action and voting.
The Membership tokens (NFT) will be available for sale directly from token owners, through the OpenSea platform, or via secondary markets in the future.

Distribution of DAO Members
AAVADAO will be selling all Membership level positions during the pre- and post- DAO launch to raise funding for the regulatory development of the AAVA Climate Performance Token.
This is the initial outlay where the Member numbers will be ratified by the Members.
Note that the 11 Board Members are non-voting and invitation-only.
Use of DAO funds
The funds raised through the sale of DAO Memberships are to be allocated for the following key areas. As a decentralised organisation, these will be refined and deployed by the DAO Members in the future.
Operation
Operational entity management
The Operational Entity is the link between the DAO and the deployment of actions in the real world where we need to engage with service providers to meet DAO objectives.
Compliance
Set up of regulatory compliance
One of the key tasks of the DAO is to set up the necessary partnerships and operational structure in order to launch the AAVA Climate Performance Token, a Securitised Token.
Business Development
Opportunity Mapping
One focus area is to deploy funds to projects rapidly after the Token launch. A proactive approach in identifying projects is essential to lock in projects rapidly once the AAVA Token is operational and ready to deploy funds.
Strategic Partnerships
Superdao
The DAO being a central element in the management of the AAVA Climate Performance Token ecosystem, we need to be certain that the infrastructure behind this is robust and is developed with the right partners. We found Superdao to be the ideal choice for this strategic partnership and being selected as one of their pilot collaborators is truly exciting!
Superdao is a DAO platform that makes it easy for us to start and operate a decentralized autonomous organisation. With their tools we generate smart contracts for our Member NFTs and use built-in directory, treasury, dashboard, and voting systems that enable key functionality.
