Name of DAO
DAORE
Proposal overview
DAORE is a Decentralized Autonomous Organization for the Real Estate industry that will change how people find, choose, fund and build their houses. It is a matchmaking tool between people with similar housing needs and wishes and the technical team needed to make them reality: architects, engineers, contractors, suppliers, investors, local government and landowners. The output is a collective of homes, built with mass customization into small multi residential buildings using prefabrication techniques. DAORE’s framework provides the tools needed for each project team to handle all processes using advanced technology, blockchain and smart contracts, sharing the liability and responsibility with everyone involved in a transparent way.
Our goal is to become the best way to find a perfect apartment, safe, adequate, sustainable, with financial support, and in the exact desired location. DAORE has the potential to transform wishes in reality, in a very short window of time, while connecting all these layers who wouldn’t find each other if it wasn’t like that.
Problems to be solved
Humanity faces a big housing crisis. 3 billion people will need new homes by 2050, but only 7% of adults have access to formal housing finance. 1.2 billion people live in substandard housing. And in the so-called developing world, 80% of people build without engineers or architects. Quality, sustainability and safety are basic needs that are far from being met, especially for the population of underdeveloped countries, such as Brazil, the birthplace of DAORE.
The environmental crisis is also a massive threat to human kind. Buildings are responsible for almost 40% of global energy-related carbon emissions, and for 50% of all extracted materials on earth. Even so, we don’t use the built environment in its full capacity. 24% of housing units are empty in São Paulo, Brazil, today. DAORE proposes that we should not only build greener, we should build better, build to suit, ready to use, with assured quality.
Beyond that all, historically the AEC industry (Architecture, Engineer and Construction) is one of the latest on adopting new technologies, and most of it is due to low industrialization, and highly customization of the processes involved.
Objectives
DAORE has a clear strategy to take care of these issues, dealing with the development, design and construction processes from the perspective of the real estate industry full cycle.
The matchmaking DAORE tool, currently under development, connects people with similar needs with the land available by using Graph Nodes and advanced Genetic Algorithms for parametric design validation. Once the building has been designed and developed by the DAORE TechSquad, gamification solutions in the metaverse are being developed for mass customization, fundamental to industrialization. All decisions are shared and voted via blockchain and governance tokens, and every data of the project, fabrication and assembly of the buildings are shared in a fully transparent process.
Instead of developing new residential buildings and finding clients that squeeze their needs into the available proposal, DAORE empowers the end user, taking full advantage of a DAO framework and blockchain security, to turn them into the developer itself.
To address these challenges, the first task to be accomplished is education and awareness. DAORE aims to pave the way for people’s access to the DAO ecosystem, creating Squads to validate the initially proposed framework in these 8 layers:
- Modular Units Factory
- Land Owners
- Auditors
- Technical Team (Architects, Engineers and Realtors)
- Local contractor
- DAORE developer team
- Investors
- Final Users
Implementation
To implement these goals, DAORE is planning hands-on activities concerning onboarding and community building, as well as educational and development training for the community.
The measures in detail are:
Onboarding and presence: Create a community
- Create marketing and communication material to build a community of 1000 more architects, engineers, and built environment professionals
- Conduct several marketing campaigns
- Participate in industry relevant events
- Host multiple onboarding parties and community calls (at least two per month)
Education: Understanding the Blockchain potential for AEC industry, and the possibilities around DAORE framework
- 100 construction companies and factories should be able to engage with our database and offer their services for future clients
- 200 professionals from AEC industry should be able to conduct steps of the framework process, and replicate the knowledge in the community
- The framework should be clearly accessible and online to everyone interested
Infrastructure: Matchmaking tool and Smart Contracts framework
- Development and Alpha release of Matchmaking tool
- Creation and deployment of Governance tokens
We represent this shift of the AEC industry toward sustainability by embracing decarbonization and resilient design strategies that advantage communities, future generations, and the natural environment in all our projects.

Where we are now
DAORE started as a thesis presented in december 2021 for a Master’s degree in Advanced Computation for Design and Architecture at Iaac - Institute of Advanced Architecture of Catalonia.
By now, DAORE’s members are an active part of ArchiDAO, the first DAO made for and by Architects, a community with more than 280 users in Discord, where we are making connections to start our own community.
Developments:
- Tokenomics - 50% developed
- Matchmaking Tool
- Genetic Algorithms - 70%
- Graph Node automation - 10%
- Unreal Gamified Platform - 80% developed
- Front-end interface for investors - 80%
- Front-end interface for final user - 20%
Where we need help
DAORE’s mission and framework are very powerful. The window of opportunity is huge, and has the potential to deeply revolutionize the industry of development and construction. However, finding and building the suitable community in an industry that is so particularly averse to innovation is the biggest challenge so far.
We need Harmony’s community strength and presence to find our way to the people needed to transform this idea in reality.
