Regenerative Land- and Time-Backed Token Ecosystem (Fedimint Edition)

1. Executive Summary

Ciudad de Luz 13:20 (CDL1320) is a regenerative biocommunity in Quintana Roo, Mexico, designed to merge land stewardship, decentralized governance, and spiritual alignment.

Our ecosystem is supported by three tokens:

• CDLC (Conservation Token, 1:1 with m² conserved)

• CDLP (Pioneer Token, 1:10 with m² developed)

• CDLT (Time Bank Token, 1 hr = 1 CDLT for community services)

All tokens are issued and managed via Fedimint federation of guardians, ensuring sovereignty, resilience, and privacy.

The project begins with a Pioneer Council of 8–12 core members, expands to a Council of 40 families (parents with children), and then grows carefully to 500–1500 residents, establishing a replicable model for regenerative living worldwide.

2. Introduction

This document is the culmination of months of dialogue, reflection, and refinement.
It is more than a technical paper — it is a living roadmap for a regenerative community.

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

Through deep exploration of governance models, land stewardship, and community-driven finance, we have evolved from traditional blockchain tokenization toward a more sovereign and human-centered system. Our discovery of Fedimint federations has allowed us to design a token ecosystem that is both decentralized and community-custodied, aligning with the principles of Natural Law.

The result is a three-token system:

• CDLC for conservation of land,

• CDLP for pioneer-led settlement and development,

• CDLT for time-banked contributions that value every member’s service equally.

Together, these tokens form the backbone of a regenerative economy, governed by a DAO Council that grows in phases: beginning with 8–12 Pioneers, expanding to 40 families, and eventually scaling to 500–1500 individuals.

Every section of this whitepaper is guided by two principles:

• Clarity for those new to Web3 and regenerative finance.

• Rigor for those building and governing the system.

We invite you to read this whitepaper not only as a technical explanation, but as a story of possibility. What you hold is a blueprint for the New Earth — and an invitation to co-create it with us.

3. Vision & Purpose

CDL1320 exists to restore harmony between nature, economy, and human settlement. It offers a sovereign ecosystem where aligned individuals co-create a New Earth paradigm, guided by Natural Law and the Tzolkin calendar.

4. Problem Statement / Context

Humanity faces critical challenges:

• Ecological collapse from deforestation and industrial farming

• Urban disconnection from land, food, and community

• Centralized financial systems that exploit rather than regenerate

• Loss of sacred time due to the mechanization of life (12:60 calendar)

CDL1320 addresses these by building a living model of harmony, powered by regenerative finance and time-based exchange.

5. 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.

6. Token Architecture

Three-pillar token system via Fedimint:

1. CDLC (Conservation Token)

   • 1:1 with 1 m² conservation land

   • Fixed supply: 1,050,000 tokens

2. CDLP (Pioneer Token)

   • 1:10 with 1 m² development land (1 token = 10 m²)

   • Max supply: 45,000 tokens

3. CDLT (Time Bank Token)

   • 1:1 with one hour of service

   • Unlimited supply, dynamically issued

   • Baseline flat value, with DAO policy bonuses

7. Token Flow & Conversion Diagram

This section explains how CDL1320 tokens are created, distributed, and transformed within the Fedimint federation.

• Creation:

  • CDLC issued for conservation (fixed supply, 1:1 m²)

  • CDLP issued for pioneer development (fixed supply, 1:10 m²)

  • CDLT issued dynamically as members contribute hours of service

• Distribution:

  • Pioneers (8–12) receive initial allocations of CDLP to establish the first infrastructure and governance.

  • Conservation investors receive CDLC allocations (direct 1:1 with land).

  • DAO treasury holds reserves of both CDLC and CDLP to secure future growth.

• Conversion Rules:

  • CDLP ↔ CDLC: Pioneer tokens may be partially converted back to conservation tokens when land is restored or development rights are returned.

  • DAO approval is required for all conversions.

  • CDLT is not convertible into land tokens but can be redeemed for services, products, or community participation.

• Fundraising Pathways:

  • DAO may authorize partial sales of CDLC to fund conservation and infrastructure.

  • Pioneer allocations of CDLP may be bonded into CDLC for aligned external fundraising.

• Governance Control:

  • All conversions require DAO proposal and Fedimint guardian signatures.

  • This ensures transparency, accountability, and ecological integrity.

8. 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.

10. Governance & DAO Constitution Summary

The CDL1320 DAO is the ultimate decision-making body. It governs the treasury, community membership, and development path through transparent proposals and voting.

• DAO Authority:

  • Votes on conversions, budgets, amendments, and new members

  • Controls treasury allocations, development zoning, and expansion projects

  • All CDLP holders (minimum 0.5 ha) are full DAO members with voting rights

  • CDLC holders may receive perks and benefits but do not hold voting power

• Fedimint Guardians:

  • Serve as the executive layer of the DAO

  • Carry out treasury actions (minting, burning, disbursements) strictly according to DAO-approved instructions

  • Provide operational security, privacy, and resilience

• Community Stages:

  • Pioneers (8–12 members): Form the first council, committing 260 days to establish the foundation, culture, and first Fedimint guardianship

  • Council of 40 families: Ensures multigenerational stability, education, and balance at the core of CDL1320

  • Expansion Phase: Gradual growth to 500–1500 individuals, governed by DAO consensus and aligned with ecological capacity

This dual structure balances community sovereignty (DAO governance) with operational trust (federated guardianship), ensuring that the will of the community directs all actions while guardians safeguard execution.
