We lost the internet. (: However, the Carib DAO ultimately believes Caribbean nationals have an opportunity to prepare our youth for a Blockchain-powered future. We believe blockchain tech and crypto enable freedom— financial freedom. And, that forming a community around this idea will enable us to fund our projects and create new investment vehicles safely, and securely. We may have lost the internet, but Web3 is a win for everyone. By sharing this knowledge, we are ***building the future of the Caribbean, block by block***.
---- ## A Sea of Creators The Caribbean is known for its delightful weather, crystal clear waters, white sandy beaches, majestic sunsets, dynamic culture, and hospitality. This vibrant community also produces the most music and art per capita in the world. Many artists and entrepreneurs need access to project funding, incubation, and the innovative benefits that blockchain technology provides–secure payments, social equity, automated royalties, NFTs and more. Meanwhile, tourism is rising and more digital nomads are traveling to the Caribbean–providing an opportunity to learn from seasoned professionals, foster local talent, and modernize our tourism ecosystem.
--- ## What is the Carib DAO? **[The Carib DAO](https://caribdao.com)** (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) provides crowdfunding, educational, and community-centric support in the Caribbean with a focus on Blockchain and Web3 technology. Carib DAO members are entitled to compounding benefits, incentives, services, and discounts within a growing ecosystem.

### Incentivized HODL > CARIB Transaction Fees Benefit All DAO members. CARIB token redistributes a 2% total fee on each transaction to: - 1% distributed to all $CARIB wallets proportionate to the amount of $CARIB held - 1% automatically contributed towards trading liquidity #### Transparency CARIB’s transaction fee redistribution system is automated by smart contracts written in Solidity–offering a transparent, passive income stream for token holders. > DAO members will be required to hold their CARIB on Binance Smart Chain to earn transaction fee rewards. ![Transparency.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/caribdao/23wWkf2whhPk52BBnN3uZQXfunXTTVhqjyQujiSCvtRLqERFRq8hQsoopxWYeB1ZrzshZ.png) #### Reflection (Fee Redistribution) CARIB is a pre-audited implementation of the RFI reflector token concept that uses smart contracts to manage, execute and monitor transactions securely on Binance Smart Chain, an open-sourced and decentralized blockchain. inance Smart Chain has a clean track record without incidents or hacks, and there are no known vulnerabilities that could be abused on the blockchain. > [CARIB on BscScan >](https://bscscan.com/address/0x9f8b8FE01b26957cf3dcd6FBd3675053bA2c02C8)
--- ## The DAO Fund #### Initial Holding: 8,000,000 CARIB ### EXCLUSIVE Opportunities Carib DAO members can use their CARIB to post and vote on the funding of proposed projects and services—enabling access to exclusive crowdfunding and investment opportunities. ### DAO Funding In order to grow, fund, and replenish the DAO Fund over time, the fund account will accrue transaction fees collected proportionately to CARIB held within the fund. However, the fund account will be exempt from paying transactions fees. Project proposal fees, utilities, and services will also provide additional funding to the DAO account. ### Empowering Communities The Carib DAO fund account funds can only be released via a vote by members. Empowering members with the ability to fund their own projects via DAO Approved Proposals. DAO members will also decide on beneficial services for members, like travel reward programs and VIP travel services.
--- ## 1 CARIB = 1 VOTE > Carib DAO is a Direct Democracy #### DAO Governance There will be requirements, quorums, and thresholds set according to each section of the project proposal and governance boards. These requirements will ultimately be voted on by DAO members. ### Compounding Benefits Much like traditional crowdfunding platforms, proposals will include exclusive offers and benefits to attract votes. Over time, these benefits will compound, creating a VIP experience for members when traveling to the Caribbean.
