How The Satya Yuga Bhumi Trust Works
The Flow: From Land to Community Stewardship
Our model is designed to be straightforward, ensuring that the Earth's land is protected and stewarded for the benefit of all. This process operates without reliance on any specific ideology, religion, or political affiliation.
Step 1: Land into Bhumi Trust
Land is voluntarily designated to a decentralized, globally distributed Bhumi Trust. This act legally and philosophically removes the land from market speculation and private ownership, placing it into perpetual common stewardship.
Step 2: Trust Governed by DAO
The operations and policies for the lands are governed by a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO). This DAO is a digital collective where decisions are made transparently and democratically by the members.
Step 3: DAO for Community Stewardship
Ultimately, the DAO facilitates Community Stewardship. This means local communities, guided by the DAO's principles, actively engage in the care, restoration, and sustainable use of the land, fostering a direct connection between people and their environment.
The Bhumi Trust: Sacred Earth, Common Heritage
The Bhumi Trust embodies the principle that Earth's land is a sacred, common heritage, not a commodity. At its core is the "Eternal Lock."
The "Eternal Lock": Taking Land Off the Market Forever
When a land title is donated, its legal deed is digitized and its hash is stored immutably on the LandLock.sol smart contract. This contract is designed to reject any function calls related to selling, transferring, or mortgaging the asset. This ensures the land is held in perpetuity for the common good.
- No Private Ownership: Individuals become stewards, not owners.
- No Monetary Transaction: Land cannot be bought or sold for money.
- Protection from Speculation: By eliminating market value, the focus shifts from profit to preservation.
The DAO: Governance for a New Age
The Satya Yuga Bhumi Trust operates through a DAO that is fundamentally different from traditional, financially-driven DAOs as it rejects currency in its internal operations.
The Guardian Election Process
Guardians are elected administrators. The election is based on "Proof of Seva" (proof of selfless service) and reputation, not on wealth.
- Nomination: Members with sufficient reputation can be nominated.
- Voting: The community votes using a Quadratic Voting system to promote a more democratic outcome.
- Term Limits: Guardians are elected for specific terms and are accountable to the DAO.
Security, Voting, and Transparency
- Security: Achieved through audited smart contracts and multi-signature requirements.
- Voting: Implemented through a non-transferable reputation system.
- Transparency: All proposals, votes, and actions are recorded on a public, immutable ledger.
