Kong

Anthrosociety is increasingly taking place not in physical locations, but rather digital forums. For the past decade these forums have been hosted, moderated and controlled by interests that are prone to arbitrary censorship, and whose existence requires harvesting immense data in diametric opposition to the privacy of their users. Public key cryptography and distributed networks now allow for direct human coordination, free from moderation by centralized institutions. Crypto-organization at scale has been proposed for years, but only now are we realizing DAOs as functional governing bodies with tens of thousands of members controlling billions USD in assets.

We're now at a tipping point where DAOs are scaling membership and resources in juxtaposition to traditional corporate and state structures. One of the biggest challenges for DAOs is the digital to physical barrier. KONG Land is founded on the principle that DAOs need to exist in the physical realm and that requires strong cryptographic guarantees about people, objects and spaces. We believe that physical crypto assets enable everyone to participate in these new forms of organization without perfect technical sophistication. KONG Land is intended not to be solely a DAO itself, but rather a DAO of DAOs, or digital state of them, wherein the primary export are physical crypto tools and products and services built upon them.

KONG Cash is the first example of cryptocash, a physical crypto asset that is designed to allow anyone to intuitively earn, spend and save cryptocurrency. It provides a blueprint for a Kong Land DAO focused on stablecoin crypto cash notes in places where inflation in local currencies is high and many people still use cash. KONG Land passports are the first instance of a physical burner cryptoidentity; they can be used both in cyberspace for on-chain transactions and in the real world to gain access to spaces. SiLo's, a superset of KONG technology, are being used by orgs like MetaFactory and Mattereum to bring the Metavase irl through merch and collectables.

At inception, KONG Land will export cryptoassets for projects like stablecoins, identities and art. It will provide SiLo chips at cost to projects that supply a portion of their governance token to the KONG Land treasury. Given sufficient funds, it will ultimately seek to continue research around more secure forms of physical crypto assets. In some cases KONG Land will interact with tradcorps in order to source and produce materiel, and it will affect entites to achieve those end. Importantly KONG Land will consider and evaluate key storage devices by their origin and manufacture in order to create an indepedent registry of roots of trust.
