Description

An Umbrella-app (a bundle of social apps) for villagers to co-own real assets, vote, and crowdfund using smart contracts. All financial flows are open and traceable. Every transaction is recorded on-chain, so there is no space for hidden accounting, no silent money leaks. Everything is transparent and community-owned.

WHO
Villagers who work remotely, earn their income elsewhere and choose to relocate to villages for a lower cost of living and better work–life balance.

WHY
- Cities are overpopulated. Remote work can help people come back to village life.
- The Kolkhoz model worked well — until it didn’t. Transparency can fix that.
- Shared ownership of assets will help to build community life.
- Villages are dying. Let's revive 'em.

HOW
- Remote working villagers
- Sharing goods, services, vehicles, facilities
- Cashless community. Nothing to store under the pillow. Nothing to hide. Nothing to steal.
- Strong NO to investors-owning real estate
- Strong NO to gentrification

WHAT
1. Paperless management (v4.0)
2. Karma (reputation) system (inspired by Status.network's DevRel Kelly) (v4.0)
3. Crowdfunding (implemented on the hachathon)
4. Voting for buying shared assets/property (v1.0)
5. Auction (v2.0)

Questions to answer later:
  - May member A sell their part for bigger price in 5-10 years?
  - What if FutureGreenhouse's wallet contains 20% of total money?
  - What if members who didn't vote want to join later?
  - What if members who didn't vote want to use already built shared assets? How paid members will be compensated?

  - How to enroll money as a community member?
  - How to get your money back as a community member?
  - How to pass ownership right from member A to member A's family?


Ideas to be verified/discussed:
  - New candidate for kolkhoz member should be voted by existing members?
