CDL13:20 Coin - A Permaculture -Based, Regenerative Land-Backed Token Ecosystem

Introduction

This document is the culmination of months of thoughtful work, dialogue, and refinement.
It is more than a technical paper — it’s a roadmap for a living, breathing community.

From the very beginning, our goal has been clear: to create a regenerative biocommunity inspired by Permaculture Principles in the heart of the Mayan jungle that protects the land, restores biodiversity, and offers a new model for living in harmony with nature. But to make that vision real, we knew we needed more than inspiration — we needed a solid, transparent, and sustainable framework.

Over time, through careful exploration of governance models, blockchain tokenization, and land stewardship principles, we have worked to find the best possible solution for our members, pioneers, and conservation investors. We’ve examined how Real World Asset (RWA) tokens can be used not as speculative instruments, but as vehicles for genuine ecological and community value.

The result is a dual-token system — CDLC for conservation and CDLP for pioneer-led development — governed by a DAO that ensures transparency, accountability, and shared decision-making. This whitepaper explains how these tokens work, how they fund and sustain the project, and how they empower members to co-create our future.

Every section has been designed with two guiding principles:

1. Clarity for those new to Web3 and regenerative finance.

2. Technical rigor for those who will help us build and govern the system.

We invite you to read this whitepaper not only as a technical explanation, but as a story of possibility. You are holding a blueprint for a regenerative future — and an invitation to become a part of it.

Welcome to the CDL13:20 Whitepaper

“Our whitepaper is not a rigid business document. It’s a living, creative explanation of CDL1320 — our vision, our model, and how you can be part of it. Think of it as a guidebook or story that evolves with our community.”

Regenerative Land-Backed Token Ecosystem Inspired by Permaculture Principles

1. Vision & Purpose

Ciudad de Luz 13:20 (CDL13:20) is a regenerative biocommunity in Quintana Roo, Mexico, designed to restore harmony between nature, economy, and human settlement. Our vision is to build a sovereign ecosystem rooted in ecological stewardship, decentralized governance, and spiritual alignment. Through the issuance of blockchain-based land-backed tokens, CDL13:20 empowers aligned individuals to co-create a new paradigm of conscious living.

2. Land Asset Overview

• Total property: 150 hectares

• Conservation zone: 105 ha (designated for preservation, no development)

• Development zone: 45 ha (reserved for community living and regenerative enterprise)

This structure allows us to tokenize land without exploiting it, channeling resources into preservation while enabling sustainable community creation.

3. Token Architecture

CDL13:20 introduces a dual NFT model:

A. CDLC – Conservation Coin

• Backed 1:1 with 1m² of conservation land (105 hectares = 1,050,000 tokens)

• Purpose: fundraising, land protection, community inclusion

• Holder Rights: view zone on map, receive updates, symbolic land connection

• Convertible Feature: 50,000 CDLC coins may be converted to CDLP with DAO approval (for fundraising phase)

B. CDLP – Pioneer Coin

• Backed 1:10m² by development land (up to 45 hectares)

• Max Supply = 45000 CDLP

• Granted to Pioneers in 1-hectare allocations (12 available, 1000 CDLP per Pioneer Membership)

• Split Allocation:

  • 0.5 ha must be held in CDLP Membership to retain DAO voting power

  • 0.5 ha exclusive sales rights as CDLC (Conservation format) with a maximum of 500 CDLP = 5000 CDLC for private fundraising by Pioneers

  • Sold portion may be bought back or converted into CDLP with DAO approval

This layered structure enables community participation, liquidity for pioneers, and regenerative governance.

4. Token Flow & Conversion Diagram

This diagram explains how CDL13:20 tokens are created, distributed, and transformed over time.
It focuses on:

• The initial allocation of tokens to different stakeholders (Pioneers, conservation investors, private members).

• The rules and governance processes for converting CDLC (Conservation Coin) into CDLP (Pioneer Coin).

• How Pioneer allocations can be partially sold as conservation tokens for fundraising.

• DAO approval as a critical step in token conversion.

It does not represent the movement of funds — only the movement and transformation of tokens and rights.

5. Fundraising Phases

Phase 1 – First Private Token Sale (Convertible CDLC → CDLP Round)

What it means:

• Launch the first private fundraising round targeting early aligned investors.

• Issue Convertible Conservation Tokens (CDLC) that can later be converted to Pioneer Tokens (CDLP) with DAO approval.

• Form the DAO treasury and appoint an initial governance team.

Phase 2 – Site Preparations & Team Infrastructure

What it means:

• Onboard Pioneers and establish initial operational team.

• Begin site clearing, basecamp preparation, and installing essential services.

• Strategic partners begin participating in development planning.

Phase 3 – Convertible CDLP → CDLC Round

What it means:

• Enable select Pioneer members to sell part of their Pioneer token allocation as Conservation tokens to raise funds for their personal projects and community builds.

• Strengthens liquidity and broadens token distribution.

Phase 4 – Products & Services Infrastructure

What it means:

• Build facilities required for CDL1320’s primary regenerative industries:

  • Honey production & processing.

  • Artisan craft workshops.

  • Eco-tourism accommodations.

• Expand operational capacity for larger events and visitors.

Phase 5 – Liquidity & Scaling

What it means:

• Implement liquidity programs to stabilize and grow the CDL1320 token economy.

• Encourage token holding through rewards and staking models.

• Support scaling of local production and cooperative structures.

Phase 6 – Value Appreciation

What it means:

• As infrastructure nears completion and production increases, the value of CDL1320 tokens grows naturally through:

  • Increased land value.

  • Higher revenue from operational activities.

  • Greater DAO treasury strength.

• Attract strategic reinvestment to accelerate community growth.

Phase 7 – Production

What it means:

• CDL13:20 operates as a fully functioning regenerative economy.

• Production is at full scale:

  • Honey & craft products.

  • Eco-tourism packages.

  • Educational retreats.

• Revenues are reinvested into new projects, DAO rewards, and expanding into other regenerative developments.
