Problem
Traditional space project financing relies on centralized investors, lengthy grant processes, and opaque fund management, which limits participation to well‑connected entities and slows progress toward a permanent lunar settlement.
Solution
MoonDAO offers an open, on‑chain platform that lets anyone fund, coordinate, and govern lunar‑related projects through decentralized crowdfunding. Participants lock the governance token $MOONEY to gain voting power and influence treasury allocations without permissioned gatekeepers. All proposals, votes, and payouts are recorded on the blockchain, providing full transparency and traceability of fund usage. The Launchpad enables contributors to fund missions with fiat‑linked crypto payments and receive mission tokens that grant a stake in project outcomes. Integrated tools such as profiles, a jobs board, marketplace, map, and team coordination features streamline collaboration across a global network of space enthusiasts and professionals.
Target Audience
MoonDAO serves space startups, research teams, and lunar‑focused innovators, as well as crypto‑savvy individuals and communities who want to financially support and co‑govern space exploration initiatives.
